methods and compositions for remediating microbial-induced corrosion and environmental damage and improving wastewater treatment processes

摘要

methods and compositions for remediating microbial-induced corrosion and environmental damage in addition to improving wastewater treatment processes method for remediating bacterially induced corrosion, environmental damage, and / or process inefficiencies in an industrial process includes identifying an industrial process where the target bacteria adversely affects corrosion, environmental impact, and / or process efficiencies. The process also includes identifying target bacterial strains, obtaining a virulent bacteriophage against one or more of the target bacterial strains, and exposing the target bacterium to the bacteriophage. The method may utilize an aqueous composition comprising the bacteriophage encapsulated in at least one selected from the group consisting of: liposomes, foam and gel.
