Progressive growth of SRB in a culture test from single cell to heavy contamination


Microbial attack

Microbial problems are being faced by the marine industry which have reached almost epidemic proportions. The industry is now witnessing severe corrosion not only in ballast tanks and bilges, but often in other areas which are least expected.

Microbial contami-nation is encompassing fuels, lubricants, bilge and ballast water, often causing severe damage to hull, machinery and equipment. Ship board contamination may be initiated from previously infested tanks and systems, or be introduced onboard through contaminated fuel or seawater.
