Model HCA200 bio-probe is used to collect samples of bacteria in gas and oil
producing systems. The bacterial population on a system’s metal surface is more
relevant to corrosion than the bacterial population in the system’s fluids. This is
because only surface or sessile bacteria cause corrosion. Thus a corrosion control program
is ineffective unless it kills those bacteria which have formed attached biomasses. The
same bacteria which cause problems in gas pipelines, tanks, vessels, oil wells and water
handling systems attach to the bio-probe’s sample element. And since the bio-probe is
designed for high pressure access systems, common throughout the oil field, it becomes a
convenient and economical way for sampling corrosion-causing biological activity.
