A method for preventing and / or destroying microbial growth in a storage for a liquid hydrocarbon, method for preventing and / or destroying microbial growth in a storage for a liquid hydrocarbon, storage for a liquid hydrocarbon

摘要

The invention relates to a means for preventing and / or destroying microbial growth in a storage for a liquid hydrocarbon. The agent is a separating agent with which an interface between a liquid hydrocarbon phase and a water phase can be reduced. The agent has a density which is higher than the density of a liquid hydrocarbon and which is lower than the density of water. The agent provides a simple, inexpensive, efficient and sustainable prevention and / or destruction of microbial growth in a storage for a liquid hydrocarbon. The avoidance and / or destruction may include inhibiting the proliferation of microorganisms already present in the bearing and / or killing them. Overall, a high quality of the respective liquid hydrocarbon is ensured. Furthermore, the invention relates to a method for preventing and / or destroying microbial growth in a storage for a liquid hydrocarbon and a storage for a liquid hydrocarbon, which is suitable for the prevention and / or destruction of microbial growth.
