Abstract

Crude oils vary in their physical properties, chemical composition and between fields of origin; of special importance are the relative amounts of high and low molecular weight compounds present in crude oils. Heavy oils contain a greater percentage of high molecular weight components. The low biodegradation rates of heavy oils probably reflect the resistance of the complex high molecular weight components to microbial degradation. Hydrocarbons are water insoluble substrates that often need to be emulsified prior to their degradation by microbes. Emulsification is an important phenomenon among those parameters which influence the fate of crude oil. It has been accepted that the microorganisms developing on hydrocarbons produce surface-active agents, or biosurfactants, which emulsify the substrate, enabling its transfer into cells. Biodegraded hydrocarbons can provide bio-corrosive microbial communities with an important source of nutrients. Hence, occurrence of some hydrocarbon-degrading bacteria in oil reservoir/petroleum transporting pipelines influence electrochemical corrosion reactions. These isolates able to cause corrosion of carbon steel. Microbiologically influenced corrosion is a problem commonly encountered in facilities of the oil and gas industries. New insights into microbial corrosion processes may be achieved through understanding of the interaction between biodegradation and corrosion of carbon steel in crude oil reservoir/transporting pipelines. In this chapter, the interaction between hydrocarbon-degrading bacteria on corrosion of carbon steel are elucidated. The role of biodegradation on corrosion was confirmed by gas chromatography–mass spectrometry, X-ray diffraction, electrochemical impedance spectroscopy and weight loss analyses. The potential of this consortium was evaluated for the bioremediation of oil-contaminated environments.
