Microbiologically influenced corrosion causes failure of type 304 water well screens

Authentic stainless steel type 304 wire and rod screens installed in stagnant, natural, fresh-water shut-in wells were severely attacked by microbial corrosion after approximately 2 years of service. Screen kept in this condition were prone to the establishment and growth of microbial corrosive colo...

More Information
Summary:Authentic stainless steel type 304 wire and rod screens installed in stagnant, natural, fresh-water shut-in wells were severely attacked by microbial corrosion after approximately 2 years of service. Screen kept in this condition were prone to the establishment and growth of microbial corrosive colonies. They would be expected to suffer from microbial attack and premature failure.
