... to the laboratory for testing. A study was completed on sludge sampled from a crude oil transmission pipeline in order to (i) observe the impact of biocide, biodispersant, and combined biocide-biodispersant treatment on sludge microbial communities and MIC, and (ii) compare molecular microbiological methods...

... and fouling materials. Another approach is to prevent biofouling by treating the system with a ethylene oxide/propylene oxide (EO/PO) block copolymer as a biodispersant 6 . This approach has been shown to slow down the attachment of microorganisms for a few days, but eventually the fouling still...

... diesel generator system. Abstract An oxidizing biocide and an organic biodispersant-penetrant were simultaneously injected into the safe-shutdown cooling systems at the Clinton Nuclear Power Station to mitigate microbiologically influenced corrosion (MIC) of system piping and heat exchangers...
