Microbiologically influenced corrosion (MIC) is basically an electrochemical corrosion in which the extent and severity of the corrosion process is determined by organisms such as, but not limited to, bacteria. This work will discuss both electrochemical and mechanical features of MIC of three types of steels of frequent use, that is, mild, stainless and duplex stainless steels. The bacteria investigated in this study are single-type cultures of marine isolates of sulphate reducing bacteria, iron reducing bacteria as well as their mixed cultures. This is important because in nature, it is the...

The mutual relationship between environment and corrosion has not been studied in depth so far. When a corrosion-related accident such as a major leak from a pipeline or the collapse of a structure happens,corrosion engineers and environmental engineers each look at it from their own viewpoint. These viewpoints have not been systematically investigated and analyzed within the same context so far. We will show that corrosion prevention is not an environmentally friendly activity. Thus,...

Hydrostatic Testing, Corrosion, and Microbiologically Influenced Corrosion: A Field Manual for Control and Prevention teaches industry professionals, managers, and researchers how to combat corrosion failure associated with hydrotesting. It discusses how a test liquid must be selected, how corrosion by bacteria should be controlled, and how to eliminate the risk of leakage. Rather than teaching how hydrotests should be conducted, it helps the reader evaluate the quality of a hydrotest that's already been conducted in terms of oxygen scavenger use, biocide testing, inhibitor addition, and...

Significantly extended from the first edition, this book presents the basics of microbiologically influenced corrosion (MIC) in an accessible and concise manner. It explores strategies for recognizing, understanding, mitigating and preventing this type of corrosion, and investigates this topic from the point of view of an engineer. Chapters cover issues including stress corrosion cracking and microbial corrosion, the pros and cons of biocides, the involvement of magnetic bacteria in microbial corrosion, and cathodic protection based on recent research in microbial environments. The 2nd...
