BASF recently inaugurated a new Maintenance Repair and Overhaul (MRO) Station in Shanghai, China, certified with a CAAC Part 145 maintenance license to service DeoxoTM aircraft ozone and ozone/VOC converters. It complements BASF’s existing MRO Station in North America, ensuring high-quality maintenance service to the international customers in Asia Pacific with faster turnaround times.

“We are excited that we can now service our customers in Asia Pacific in a facility located in the region,” said Olivia Cromwell, Global Business Manager, Aerospace, at BASF. “We are also proud to be able to help airlines be compliant with government regulations and enable cleaner air for passengers and crews in Asia and beyond.”

The new MRO Station met or exceeded OEMs’ requirements and standards and passed both the document review and on-site compliance audit by the Shanghai Civil Aviation Regulatory Bureau. Additionally, BASF is in the process of applying for the FAA and EASA Part 145 certification for the new Shanghai MRO facility.

BASF’s Deoxoozone/VOC dual function converters catalytically remove ozone and mitigate odorous volatile organic compounds (VOCs) to improve cabin air quality.
