Development of a Rapid Method for Monitoring Biodeterioration of Petroleum Products and Technical Fluids. Part I.

Principles of a rapid method for monitoring biodeterioration of technical fluids were developed with metalworking fluids as examples. Physicochemical and operation properties of spent metalworking fluids were considered. The loss of the biological resistance of metalworking fluids leads to irreversible changes in the physicochemical and operation properties. A bank of test microorganisms required for validating the rapid method for monitoring biodeterioration was compiled.
