The paper presents the assessment of inhibition effectiveness of biomolecules extracted from red seaweed against biocorrosion in the petroleum industry. The first objective of this study was to obtain extracts (A, B and C, prepared respectively from red algae species: Corallina ellongata, Gymnogongrus crenulatus and Pterocladia capillacea) by ethanol extraction method. The infrared spectra of the three extracts confirmed the presence of amine derivatives molecules known by their anti-corrosion inhibiting powers. The second objective was based on the identification of physico-chemical characteristics of the extracts and thus revealing their inhibitory and / or bactericidal power in bacterial corrosion of carbon steel in injection water contaminated with sulfato-reducing bacteria. Biological test of all extracts gave a concentration upto 10 germs/mL in contaminated water by sulfato-reducing bacteria during 28 days of incubation at 37�C. Evolution in time of the open-circuit potential showed a longer incubation time for electrolyte with extracts, whereas the stabilization time was shorter. Current corrosion density, polarization resistance, charge transfer resistance and double layer capacity were determined by using linear polarizarion resistance technique and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy. The corrosion protection efficiency of extract obtained from Gymnogongrus crenulatus (extract B) reached a maximum protective capacity of 99.69% at 5 ppm in the injection water.
The paper presents a studies for the development of new corrosion inhibitors by biotechnological way applicable to many areas of petroleum industry including, characterization of protective films on carbon steel and biocorrosion inhibition. Our research is oriented towards the isolation of new strains of bacteria from the sea waters of the Mediterranean region that have power (inhibitory and/or bactericidal that blocks the growth of sulfate-reducing bacteria responsible for microbiologically influenced by production of Pyocyanin (1 hydroxyphenazin) or 5-methylphenazin-1-one. Our first objective was to isolate the population of Pseudomonas Aerugenosa on a specific medium, characterization gram, then fermentation in a nutrient broth. The second objective of this study is evaluation of corrosion rate by weight loss method with injecting different dose of the crude enzyme extract CEE containing the methylphenazine (Pyocyanin). An efficacy test was performed on test kit vials containing the specific culture medium with the SRB contaminated with industrial injection water from SONAHESS region. The total disappearance of the SRB is 40% of CEE by blocking their metabolism in the growth phase confirms the efficiency of treatment.
