A Disposable Electrochemical Biofilm/MIC Test Kit to Detect MIC and to Assess Efficacy of Biocide Treatment of Biofilm

Product Number: 51324-20887-SG

Publication Date: 2024

Microbial biofilms are behind microbiologically influenced corrosion (MIC). Currently, all the so-called MIC test kits on the market are actually microbe test kits. Our new disposable miniature electrochemical biofilm/MIC test kit based on 10 ml serum vials with solid-state electrodes fills the gap to provide corrosion information such as abiotic corrosion vs. MIC, and MIC by electron-harvesting biofilms vs. MIC by corrosive metabolites. It can also test antimicrobial efficacy. An electrochemical workstation is used as a base station to perform various electrochemical scans such as linear polarization resistance, electrochemical impedance spectrometry and potentiodynamic polarization scans to provide near-real time transient corrosion data after a fluid or sludge is injected into the vial. This work presented a prototype with two different solid-state electrode choices. Three different methods to distinguish MIC from abiotic corrosion, and two different methods to distinguish MIC by electron-harvesting biofilms from MIC by corrosive metabolites. Anaerobic Desulfovibrio ferrophilus IS5 (a highly corrosive sulfate reducing bacterium) biofilm, aerobic Pseudomonas aeruginosa biofilm and an anaerobic corrosive oilfield biofilm consortium were used as examples. Tetrakis hydroxymethyl phosphonium sulfate (THPS) biocide was used as an example for assessing biocide efficacy. The patent-pending technology is currently undergoing field-testing.

A highly-corrosive sulfate reducing bacterium as a model microbe to improve MIC investigations

Product Number: 51323-18912-SG

MIC is a major problem in many industrial sectors, especially in the oil and gas industry. It is widely believed that almost 20% of all corrosion costs can be attributed to MIC. The shale gas and oil industry suffers from mostly MIC rather conventional abiotic CO2/H2S corrosion. Very severe MIC with fast failures are seen in field operations with very harsh operating conditions such as high salinity and nutrient-rich water, including treated municipal wastewater that promotes microbial growth. In some situations, titanium and plastic pipes are used to cope with MIC.

A Road Map For Innovation In Microbiologically Influenced Corrosion (MIC) In The Gas Pipeline

Product Number: 51322-18204-SG

Author: America A. Padilla-Viveros, Rigoberto Arroyo-Cortez

Publication Date: 2022

$20.00

A recent review provided an overview of current microbiologically influenced corrosion (MIC) research. It established that despite extensive study and numerous publications, fundamental questions relating to MIC remain unanswered and stress the lack of information associated with MIC recognition, prediction, and mitigation (Little et al., 2020). On the other hand, bibliometric analysis on the MIC of engineering systems conducted a knowledge gap analysis to focus research efforts and to develop a roadmap for MIC research (Hashemi et al., 2018).

Aluminum Floating Roof Damage from Hydrotesting

Product Number: 51324-20804-SG

Author: Sudhakar Mahajanam; Jane Brown; Krista Heidersbach; Lokesh Choudhary

Publication Date: 2024

$40.00

During construction or refurbishment of crude oil tanks, hydrotesting is routinely performed, sometimes with an aluminum floating roof or pontoons in place. Upon occasion, damage has been sustained to the aluminum floating roofs in a relatively short period of time. Damage is commonly believed to be a result of poor water quality with bacteria or chlorides being suspected of causing the corrosion. Galvanic coupling between the roof and the carbon steel tank has also been cited as a potential contributing factor. Experiments were set up using three types of aluminum alloys: AA 3003, AA 5052-H32 and AA 6061. The objective of the study was to replicate some common field conditions and to determine which mechanism could be the primary cause of damage; chlorides, bacteria or galvanic coupling. It is possible that the damage mechanisms act in concert, creating early life damage / failures. This paper shares some details from case studies on existing tanks and the results of the lab work to help pinpoint and identify the primary cause of such failures. The goal of this project was to approach this problem holistically.

Product Number: AMPP TM21465-2024

Publication Date: 2024

$109.00

This standard is applicable to operators, service companies, third-party laboratories, consultants, and universities that perform molecular techniques to identify microorganisms in industrial settings, including microorganisms involved in microbiologically influenced corrosion (MIC), biogenic production of hydrogen sulfide (a process also known as souring), and biofouling in industrial settings and organizations that manage assets affected by corrosion threats. This standard should be used to select appropriate procedures for sample collection, preservation, laboratory processing, and data analysis.
