Abstract
Microbiologically
influenced corrosion (MIC) is capable on weakening the metal’s strength,
eventually leads to pipeline leakage, environmental hazard and financial
loss. Sulfate reducing bacteria (SRB) is the principal causative
organism responsible for external corrosion on steel structures.
To date, considerable works have been conducted in Malaysia on the
mechanisms of SRB upon MIC on the marine environment instead of
underground. Moreover,
commercial bacteria strain represents local strain in terms of performance
and behavior upon corrosion of steel structure is yet to be proven.
Thus, this paper aims to investigate the influence of environmental
parameters towards MIC in corroding pipeline. Two types of SRB strain
were used designated as SRB ATCC 7757 (commercial) and SRB Sg. Ular
(local strain) isolated from Malaysian soil. The behavior of both
strains was critically compared by calculating the rate of corrosion
upon carbon steel coupons in stipulated environmental parameters.
Four influential parameters i.e. pH, temperature, salinity concentration
and iron concentration were considered. Collected data presented
and analyzed using graphical and statistical analysis, respectively.
The results showed
the difference of corrosivity between two SRB strains in terms of
corrosion behavior upon the X-70 steel coupon. SRB Sg. Ular able
to cause severe effects upon steel structure as compared to SRB
ATCC 7757 due to its aggressiveness shown by the recorded metal
loss data. Thus, future works related to MIC for local environment
in particular, should not compromise with the type of SRB strains
considered due to differences of performance of the microorganisms
onto tested environment and materials.

Abstrak
Kakisan Pengaruh
Mikrob (MIC) akan melemahkan kekuatan logam, mengakibatkan kebocoran
saluran paip, ancaman terhadap alam sekitar dan kerugian wang ringgit.
Bakteria penurunan sulfat
(SRB) merupakan organisma utama yang bertanggung jawab
mengakibatkan kakisan luar terhadap struktur keluli. Di Malaysia
khususnya, banyak kajian berkaitan mekanisma SRB
terhadap MIC dalam persekitaran marin telah dijalankan, berbanding
persekitaran bawah tanah. Kebanyakan kajian terdahulu menggunakan
strain komersial untuk mengkaji mekanisma SRB kerana ia
mudah didapati berbanding strain tempatan. Bagaimanapun, tiada kenyataan
khusus yang bersetuju bahawa strain komersial secara praktiknya mampu mewakili strain
tempatan sepenuhnya daripada segi penilaian prestasi
dan perilaku. Dengan itu, kajian ini dijalankan bertujuan untuk
mengkaji kesan SRB strain yang berbeza terhadap kadar
kakisan logam. Kajian ini menggunakan dua jenis strain SRB iaitu
strain komersial ATCC 7757 dan strain SRB tempatan yang
diambil dari Sungai Ular. Empat parameter persekitaran diambil kira
dalam uji kaji
ini iaitu pH, suhu, tahap kemasinan dan kepekatan iron. Data yang
dikumpulkan telah dibentangkan dan dianalisis dengan menggunakan
analisis grafik dan statistik. Keputusan kajian semasa menunjukkan
perbezaan yang amat ketara antara kedua-dua strain SRB daripada segi tahap kakisan terhadap kupon keluli
X-70. SRB Sg. Ular merupakan strain yang agresif dan ia berupaya
mengakibatkan kesan yang lebih teruk terhadap struktur keluli berbanding
SRB ATCC 7757, ini dapat dibuktikan dengan jelas melalui data kehilangan
logam yang direkodkan. Justeru, bagi mendapatkan ramalan kakisan
yang tepat pada masa hadapan, kerja-kerja yang berkaitan MIC khususnya
tidak dipandang remeh, terutama berkaitan pemilihan organisma yang
ingin digunakan.
