Oil Storage Tank Failure – A MIC Case Study
Bottom plate oil tank damaged by microbiologically influenced corrosion - a form of underdeposit corrosion that corrodes steel at the rate of 1 mm/year
Cathodic Protection Advancement Reduces Travel to Remote Locations
New technology helps advance remote cathodic protection (CP) monitoring eliminating in-person pipeline maintenance and providing improved operational data.
MIC Detection Methods: Bacterial Culturing vs Molecular
Differences between bacterial culturing and molecular microbiological MIC detection are explained as well as the benefits of using one over the another.
New methods needed for MIC testing in fracking wells
More than one bacterial family can cause microbiologically induced corrosion (MIC) in shale fracking wells; its key to know which microbes are doing damage.
Why is microbial control becoming so important?
In this podcast from Materials Performance, learn the reasons behind the growing concerns of microbiologically induced corrosion, now a critical issue in the energy industry.
