Monitoring of microbially mediated corrosion and scaling processes using redox potential measurements

Authors

The use of redox potential measurements for corrosion and scaling monitoring, including microbially mediated processes, is demonstrated. As a case study, monitoring data from 10. years of operation of an aquifer thermal energy storage (ATES) site located in Berlin, Germany, were examined.(Fe 2+)-activities as well as [Fe 3+]-build up rates were calculated from redox potential, pH, conductivity, temperature and dissolved oxygen measurements. Calculations are based on assuming (Fe 3+)-activity being controlled by Fe(OH) 3-solubility, the primary iron(III)-precipitate. This approach was tested using a simple log-linear model including dissolved oxygen besides major Fe 2+-ligands. Measured redox potential values in groundwater used for thermal storage are met within ±8mV. In other systems comprising natural groundwater and in heating and cooling systems in buildings, quantitatively interpretable values are obtained also.It was possible to calculate particulate [Fe 3+]-loads in the storage fluids in the order of 2μM and correlate a decrease in filter lifetimes to [Fe 3+]-build up rates, although observations show clear signs of microbially mediated scaling processes involving iron and sulphur cycling.
