| Research Abstract |
It is Purpose of this work that establishment of an analytical method for bacterial behaviors in an oil reservoir. As a method using scanning chemical microscope(SCHEM, pH-Imaging Microscope), the Measurement and estimation of bacterial behavior were carried out in the packed-bed cell made as a sham oil reservoir.
In the measurement cell packed full by silica sands which particle size were100-1,000μm, it was could be quantitatively determined the mass transfer of lactic acid using scanning chemical microscope. Next, in the same cell inoculated Lactobacillus casei, the pH values at the cell measured by the microscope. The result was that the pH changed greater at the cell packed full by some smaller size particles. The phenomena were observed at the case using smaller size particle, 45-900μm, for packed-bed cell. On the other hand, in the packed-bed column using some size particles, the amount growth of bacteria was greater as well as the particle size was smaller. In the case of smaller size particle, calculating from the yield factor of the bacteria growth in liquid culture, the bacteria density was increased to 3-5times in comparison with the bigger size. The mathematical model expressed bacterial growth and transport behavior in twodimension packed-bed cell was made, and the phenomena could be analyzed sufficiently by the model.
Therefore, by the method in this study, the bacterial growth behavior in packed-bed cell was determined.
