Abstract[English]
The present disclosure provides a method of determining the microbial growth potential of at least one antiscalant composition in natural seawater comprising at least the following steps; filtering natural seawater to obtain seawater comprising autochthonous bacteria having a predetermined bacterial cell concentration, adding at least one antiscalant composition comprising at least one antiscalant to the seawater to obtain a mixture, wherein the concentration of the at least one antiscalant is in the range of 0.1 to 100 mg/L, incubating the mixture; and determining the bacterial cell concentration of the mixture at regular intervals to determine the microbial growth potential of the at least one antiscalant composition in the natural seawater.[French]
La présente divulgation concerne un procédé de détermination du potentiel de croissance microbienne d'au moins une composition anti-tartre dans de l'eau de mer naturelle comprenant au moins les étapes suivantes : filtrer de l'eau de mer naturelle pour obtenir de l'eau de mer comprenant des bactéries autochtones ayant une concentration de cellules bactériennes prédéterminée, ajouter au moins une composition anti-tartre comprenant au moins un agent anti-tartre à l'eau de mer pour obtenir un mélange, la concentration de l'au moins un agent anti-tartre étant dans la plage de 0,1 à 100 mg/L, incuber le mélange ; et déterminer la concentration de cellules bactériennes du mélange à des intervalles réguliers pour déterminer le potentiel de croissance microbienne de l'au moins une composition anti-tartre dans l'eau de mer naturelle.
