Tame microbiologically influenced corrosion

Biofilm formation is a naturally occurring process on all engineering materials exposed to an electrolyte that will support microbial growth. There is no correlation between numbers and types of microorganisms in the bulk medium or in the biofilm and the likelihood of microbiologically influenced co...

More Information
Summary:Biofilm formation is a naturally occurring process on all engineering materials exposed to an electrolyte that will support microbial growth. There is no correlation between numbers and types of microorganisms in the bulk medium or in the biofilm and the likelihood of microbiologically influenced corrosion (MIC). Various parameters are known to influence MIC within an operating system and these include environment, i.e., temperature, nutrients, chloride concentration, operating procedures, construction materials, and system design.
