Microbiological monitoring on site
Lubricants, hydraulic oils and metalworking fluids can all be affected by microbial contamination. If this is not detected and treated at an early stage systems may eventually suffer from fouling, fluid spoilage, corrosion and equipment malfunction. This study investigates contamination and on-site microbiological tests which can monitor most engineering systems. International Conference on Condition Monitoring … Continued

Summary of microbial contamination and associated corrosion in fuels, during storage, distribution and use.
This paper explores microbial contamination and corrosion in fuels during storage, distribution, and use. It discusses how bacteria, yeasts, and moulds grow in water associated with fuels, causing equipment malfunctions and corrosion. The study highlights the importance of early detection and control methods, such as biocides and on-site tests, to manage these issues effectively. … Continued

Microbial corrosion in ships tanks – detection and remediation
Microbially accelerated corrosion is a well documented phenomenon and has affected the marine industry spasmodically. It is believed to have been accelerated by the proliferation of micro-organisms, particularly sulphate reducing bacteria. The microbes involved and the corrosion mechanisms will be discussed in this article including a number of strategies for monitoring, remediation and avoidance. Tankcare … Continued
