Inhibitors of Corrosion Induced by Sulfate-Reducing Bacteria

Currently, a lot of researcher’s attention is devoted to the problem microbiologically influenced corrosion (MIC), since it causes huge damages economy, initiating destruction oil and gas pipelines other underground constructions. To protect industrial materials from MIC effects an organic chemical inhibitors are massively used. However, their use associated with toxicity, dangerous for environment that caused need development alternative methods repression. At review, data about different types inhibitors-biocides usage has provided. The features given mechanisms protective action considered. screening results eco-friendly managing effect by sulfate-reducing bacteria (SRB) highlighted. Methods joint application enhancers, such as chelators, biosurfactants, which contribute reducing concentration inhibitors, discussed. possibility disruption quorum sensing interaction in bacterial community prevent biofilm formation information natural plant extracts, food waste, well by-products agro-industrial production combat biological control (to MIC) great importance creating best approaches SRB. analysis literature indicates find alternatives environmentally friendly solutions.
