This article describes the experiences for SRB-MIC Control in a water plant with fluid recovered from a-disposal pit through the use of different biocide treatment strategies, and a comparison of the cost-effectiveness of the different products used to control MIC, such as glutaraldehydes, quaternary ammonium, acrolein and THPS. Results are supported by field experience. The use of a good bio-treatment program shows how the SRB corrosion control can be achieved even in difficult systems such as this one in which there is continuous fluid recovered from a pit.
