| Oilfield Microbial Surveys | |
|
Microbial proliferation in oil production systems can cause corrosion, well clogging and reservoir souring, resulting in a considerably loss in productivity and finances. Microbially Induced Corrosion (MIC) can be caused by the proliferation of sulphate-reducing bacteria if left unmonitored and untreated. |
|
| Microbial Analysis | |
|
In parallel with the microbial surveys, NCIMB can offer laboratory based routine or one-off microbial analysis of most types of liquid sample. Analyses offered include: |
|
|
|
| Other analysis may be available on request, or see our Environmental Services department for available chemical and environmental analysis services. | |
| Fuel and Fuel Component Analysis | |
|
Microbial proliferation in fuel and fuel components can cause serious problems in machinery from under-performance due to reduced burning efficiency to corrosion through MIC. For this reason, it is important to maintain good house-keeping of storage facilities and pipework and remove any water before proliferation can begin. NCIMB offer a quality assured microbial analysis to nationally recognised standards of fuel and fuel component to aid in the monitoring of fuel quality and problem-solving. Please download our brochure for a full list of the services, or contact us for more information. |
