Intertek™ MIC Test Kit, Petroleum Microbiology Media: Sulfate Reducing Bacteria Media

Description

A range of bacterial growth media and accessories for use in detecting and quantifying microbiologically influenced corrosion (MIC). Media products are available as boxes of 12 vials, cases of 288 vials, and in the single tube quick-test format.

Sulfate Reducing Bacteria (SRB) contribute to MIC by producing hydrogen sulfide, which is a corrosive and toxic gas that has the odor of rotten eggs. SRB can also sour oil and gas reservoirs, create precipitates that plug openings and discolor water to black.
