ABSTRAK
Ancaman biokakisan akibat aktiviti
bakteria penurun sulfat (SRB) pada saluran paip keluli
karbon dalam industri petroleum boleh menjejaskan kelancaran aliran
pengangkutan minyak mentah dan meningkatkan kos pengoperasian.
Usaha bagi melindungi keluli karbon serta pengawalan SRB masih
memerlukan kajian yang berterusan. Dalam kajian ini, keberkesanan
tetrametilamonium bromida (TMB), karboksimetil trimetilamonium (BTN)
dan benzalkonium klorida (BKC) bagi melindungi keluli karbon di
dalam persekitaran yang mengandungi SRB diuji melalui kaedah pengutuban
elektrokimia dinamik (PED) dan morfologi keluli karbon
dianalisis menggunakan mikroskop elektron imbasan. Analisis PED
mendapati penggunaan TMB, BTN dan BKC masing-masing
berupaya mengurangkan kadar kakisan sehingga 0.13, 0.56 dan 0.17
mm/thn berbanding 8.91 mm/thn pada larutan kawalan yang mengandungi
SRB.
Morfologi permukaan biofilem mengesahkan kadar pertumbuhan SRB serta
hasilan metabolisme bakteria ini turut mengalami penyusutan. Kajian
ini menunjukkan dua mekanisme kawalan kakisan didapati berlaku
iaitu mekanisme perencatan kakisan melalui penjerapan sebatian
amonium kuaterner pada permukaan keluli karbon serta berlakunya
proses tindak balas mitigasi sebatian ini dengan bakteria SRB. Kesimpulannya, TMB,
BTN
dan BKC
didapati berupaya melindungi keluli karbon daripada
mengalami kakisan akibat aktiviti SRB.

ABSTRACT
Biocorrosion menace of carbon
steel pipeline in petroleum industry attributed to sulfate-reducing
bacteria (SRB) activity is disrupting the crude oil transportation
process and increase the operational cost. Efforts for protecting
the carbon steel pipeline and controlling the SRB activities are continuously
being researched. In this work, the effectiveness of tetramethylammonium
bromide (TMB), carboxymethyl trimethylammonium (BTN)
and benzalkonium chloride (BKC) for protecting carbon steel in environment
containing SRB was studied by potential dynamic
polarization (PED) method and the morphology of carbon steel surface was
analyzed by scanning electron microscope. PED indicated
that TMB, BTN and BKC were
capable of reducing the corrosion rate to 0.13, 0.56 and 0.17
mm/yr, respectively, as compared with 8.91 mm/yr of control medium,
which contained SRB.
The morphology of surface biofilm proven that the rate of SRB growth
and their metabolism product has also been reduced. This study
suggested that there are two mechanisms of corrosion protection
i.e. the present quaternary ammonium compounds inhibited the corrosion
process on account of adsorption mechanism, meanwhile the mitigation
process of SRB and
their activities occurred due to interaction process between the
quaternary ammonium compounds and SRB itself. In conclusion, TMB,
BTN
and BKC are able to protect the carbon steel
from actively corroding due to SRB activities.
