LIFirr with an Indicator of Microbial Activity in Paraffinic Oil
Paraffinic oils were submitted to microbial action. The
microorganisms consisted of bacteria of the genera Pseudomonas sp.
and Bacillus lincheniforms. The alterations in interfacial tension were
determined using a tensometer and applying the hanging drop
technique at room temperature (299 K ±275 K). The alteration in the
constitution of the paraffins was evaluated by means of gas
chromatography. The microbial activity was observed to reduce
interfacial tension by 54 to 78%, as well as consuming the paraffins
C19 to C29 and producing paraffins C36 to C44. The LIFirr technique
made it possible to determine the microbial action quickly.
