Effect of Biodiesel Concentration On: Corrosion of Carbon Steel by Bacillus Megaterium
Effect of Biodiesel Concentration On: Corrosion of Carbon Steel by Bacillus Megaterium

Energy CONSUMPTION
Source: Outlook Energy Indonesia ,2016
Biodiesel is one of the alternative fuels that mixed into diesel oil.
The Indonesian government through Permen ESDM No. 12
2015 expects the use of biodiesel up to 30% of total fuel
demand.

• For some species that play a role, Bacillus sp. are
known to dominate the biodegradation of
petroleum hydrocarbons.
• Bacillus megaterium is one of the species that
identified in diesel and naphtha transport pipelines
and may potentially cause biocorrosion .
With the increasing use of biodiesel mixed with diesel oil, it was necessary to
examine the characteristics of carbon steel on biocorrosion (the ratio of the
number of bacteria attached to the biofilm, the biofilm morphology and the
rate of corrosion in biodiesel and diesel oil blends).

• The hydrocarbon to be used as medium is sterilized
with a pore size membrane of 0.45 μm
• The metal was cut into 1 cm x 1 cm based on ASTM G
31-72 standard
• The specimens are smoothed using 240-1200 grid
abrasive paper (based on ASTM G 1-81)
• The reactor is then stored at 25oC and under anaerobic
condition for 10 days

B.megaterium corrosion rate
The corrosion rate can be calculated by determining the loss of mass occurring in the
metal.
