BIOFILM

Recognised by the OPM Flow parserRUNSPEC

The BIOFILM keyword activates the biofilm model for the run. Biofilm-related effects in subsurface applications such as hydrogen storage include reduced injectivity and hydrogen loss. The conceptual model includes the following mechanisms: (1) Biofilm is present in the storage site prior to injection and (2) the biofilm consumes injected H2/CO2, leading to clogging effects.

Note

This is an OPM Flow specific keyword used to investigate biofilm effects in underground applications. The module requires either the CO2STORE or H2STORE keywords in the RUNSPEC section to be active.

There is no data required for this keyword and there is no terminating “/” for this keyword.

Example

--
-- ACTIVATE THE BIOFILM MODEL

-- ACTIVATE THE H2STORE MODEL
--
WATER

H2STORE
The above example declares that the BIOFILM model is active for the run and activates the H2STORE model. For a complete example of this model, see H2STORE_BIOFILM.DATA.
