DEVELOPMENT OF MICROBIAL GROWTH IN FUELS


General rule: Wherever fuel and water come into contact in a

storage or distribution system microbial contamination is likely to

occur.

6 2016-11-02

SOURCES OF CONTAMINATION


• Freshly refined fuel contains some water. This separates out as the

fuel cools down.

• Atmospheric condensation: humidity in the air in the storage tank

condenses out and adds to the water bottom. • Rain or snow may enter the tank via sampling ports, breather

vents or ill -fitting seals on floating roofs. • Transport or storage in tankers or barges can result in

contamination from ballast water.

CONSEQUENCES OF MICROBIAL GROWTH

• Fuel Haziness

• Degradation of Additives

• Microbially Induced Corrosion

• Odor

• Filter Plugging

• Sludge Formation


QUICK TESTS

- Rapid kits:

- Just a qualitative image;

- Quick Test Kit: rapid screening –

bacteria &fungi, yeasts;

- Can show: negligible, moderate or

heavy contamination.


QUICK TESTS

- Microbial Test Kits:

- Simple test or complex;

- Qualitative and

evaluative;

- With incubation.


Laboratory complex TESTS

- Base of methodology: ASTM E 1259-10, Standard Practice for Evaluation of Antimicrobials in

Liquid Fuel – Boiling Point below 390°C;

- Good confluent growth is established in the unpreserved samples of each formulation from T0

and T7, after which time the biocide additions are made;

- Growth is then assessed in specific intervals: T9, T14, T15, T21, zT22,T28 and T30, with the

plates incubated at 25°C for fungi and 30°C for bacteria.

- Samples are taken from fuel or from the bottom of the vessel.

- The innocula consists of the following species:

- Pseudomonas aeruginosa;

- Hormoconis resinae;

- Yarrowia (former Candida) tropicalis.

One solution:

KATHON® FP 1.5 BIOCIDE

FUEL PROTECTION BIOCIDE

It combines exceptional activity with broad spectrum performance.

It is effective at very low use levels against all commonly occurring

fuel contaminants (bacteria, fungi and yeast).

The active ingredients are non-persistent in the environment, thus

giving the product good environmental acceptability.


The active ingredients of KATHON® FP 1.5 are identified using the

IUPAC nomenclature as:

- 5-chloro-2-methyl-3(2H)isothiazoline

- 2-methyl-3(2H)isothiazoline.

Safety and Support


Efective at very low use levels against all microbial species:

- bacteria,

- fungi,

- yeasts.

Broad Spectrum Activity


KATHON® FP 1.5 causes immediate inhibition of growth on coming into contact

with a microorganism.

Growth inhibition rapidly becomes irreversible and results in cell death.

The time to achieve eradication varies according to the extent of contamination

and the type of microorganisms present.

Rapid Inhibition of Microbial Growth and Enzyme Synthesis


Fuel treated with KATHON® FP 1.5 will remain protected from contamination over

extended periods of time. It will also resist contamination if re-inoculated from

another source.

In studies conducted over an 8 week period, the fuel treated with KATHON® FP

1.5 remained free from contamination for the duration of the trial.

Long Term Preservation


Complete System Protection

The partitioning characteristics of KATHON® FP 1.5 ensure that it is present

in both the fuel and water phases. This enables:

- Eradication of contamination in the water bottom.

- Protection of the fuel as it is transferred through the distribution system.

Results from computer modelling indicate that after a series of 10

transfers, between 60% (fuel/water ratio of 100/1) and 97% (fuel/water ratio

of 10, 000 / 1) of the KATHON® FP 1.5 originally dosed is retained in the

fuel.


Proven Effectiveness

The effectiveness of KATHON® FP 1.5 has been proven over a

number of years and it has extensive approvals endorsing its use in a

wide range of fuel types.


Widely Approved

Reflecting its world leading status, KATHON® FP 1.5 has wide ranging

approvals from both regulators and manufacturers. These approvals confirm the

suitability of KATHON® FP 1.5 for use, in such stringently controlled fuels as Jet Al

and Military diesel.
