Abstract

Biodiesel is a renewable fuel derived from a mixture of hydrocarbons (diesel oil) with fatty acid methyl ester (FAME). However, its use as fuel sometimes causes problems since biodiesel is hygroscopic and can act as a carbon source for the metabolism of micro-organisms that cause steel corrosion. One species of micro-organism-induced corrosion (MIC) is Serratia marcescens. This study observed carbon steel ST-37 corrosion in the biodiesel mixture (B15, B20, B30) and contamination of S. marcescens. The effect of biodiesel concentration and MIC was investigated by electron impedance spectroscopy (EIS), scanning electron microscope (SEM) and digital microscope. The results showed that S. marcescens could form biofilm on carbon steel surfaces at various concentrations of biodiesel as medium. The phenomenon of MIC involvement was illustrated through the electrical equivalent circuit. Biofilm growth, pit depth and corrosion area were influenced by biodiesel concentration. The consequence of pitting corrosion affected metal surface roughness and strength.
