!! Can bacteria get adapted to biocides so that every now and then it must be changed? !!    Are non-metals (particularly, composite and plastics) immune to MIC? !!   What is the likely MIC mechanism in soil environments ? Why should I ATTEND?   Microbiologically influenced corrosion (MIC) is a unique type of corrosion with the microbes being the reason for the corrosion to occur, rather than a traditional corrosion cell. MIC is a known issue in many strategic industries such as, but not limited to pipelines, refineries, powerplants, and even PV solar panels. However, MIC is still a significant source of confusion. Hence, it is crucial to get hands-on skills and knowledge to define and cure it more effectively through more realistic prevention/mitigation integrity strategies based on general corrosion technology.
