The effectiveness of a particular biocide on a population of microorganisms. In this test, the biocide was seen to have a positive effect on reducing the population levels.
Sea water injection system – ineffective biocide injection regime
Increased amounts of biocide were required to maintain microbiological control, raising operating costs.
Oil Plus screened and evaluated six dual treatment regimens using its on-site specialised piece of equipment, Biocide Evaluation Test Apparatus (BETA). The best performing, compatible biocide regime was identified and recommended.
Operating costs were reduced with a saving of $2.5m on chemicals over five years. Total estimated ROI of study $102.05M.
