Microbial Communities Associated with Alternative Fuels in Model Seawater-Compensated Fuel Ballast Tanks

Microbial Communities Associated with Alternative Fuels in Model Seawater-Compensated Fuel Ballast Tanks

The biocorrosion of carbon steel poses a risk for ships combining seawater and fuel in metal ballast tanks. Ballast tanks were simulated by duplicate reactors containing carbon steel coupons and either petroleum F76 (petro-F76), Fischer–Tropsch F76 (FT-F76), or a 1:1 mix of both fuels, to investigat...
