Description
- The Sulfate Reducing Bacteria (SRB) test is designed to assess the contamination of water samples with sulfate reducing bacteria.
- The test contains a straw colored medium which reacts to the production of hydrogen sulfide to give a semi-quantitative result after 5 days.
- The SRB test is used specifically to indicate the presence of bacteria, which under the correct conditions, are able to produce hydrogen sulfide.
- Hydrogen sulfide is a colorless gas which is extremely corrosive to ferrous and no ferrous metals.
- This can lead to holes in water systems and leaks in tankers by dissolving the surrounding metal.
