Abstract:
Described herein are various methods, systems, and apparatus for reducing and eliminating biofilms from hydrocarbons. A combination of oxidizing agents and radiation of certain wavelengths forms a synergistic reaction. The synergistic reaction generates EMODs, which are effective in reducing microbial count and eliminating or blocking biofilm formation, particularly in anaerobic environments. This synergistic reaction has a relationship to EMOD creation and has a detrimental effect on Microbial Contamination (MC), Microbial Influenced Corrosion (MIC) and biofilm creation. MC, MIC and biofilm can be eliminated or greatly reduced with the treatment methods in or on equipment including pipelines, storage tanks, and refinery processing equipment.

Claim (Index 22):
The device of  claim 16 , wherein the radiation emitting component adjusts the wavelength, intensity, duration time and/or location relative to the hydrocarbon and/or water and other associated fluids to be treated, of the radiation, on the basis of one or more of the specific gravity, hydrocarbon density and light absorbing quality of the hydrocarbon and/or water and other associated fluids to be treated, the size and shape of the hydrocarbon and/or water and other associated fluids container, whether the hydrocarbon and/or water and other associated fluids is under aerobic or anaerobic conditions, pH of the hydrocarbon, salinity of the hydrocarbon and/or water and other associated fluids, consortium or population characteristics of the microorganism present in the hydrocarbon and/or water and other associated fluids, the microbial content of the hydrocarbon and/or water and other associated fluids, and the microbial content of the biofilms.
