WORKSHOP - MICROBIOLOGICALLY INFLUENCED CORROSION: FACTS AND MYTHS

Image
By

 


!! 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.


What will I learn?

“Six important myths currently accepted and used by industry”

  • Electrochemistry in corrosion
  • Relevance of electrochemistry to MIC
  • Introduction and importance of MIC
  • Classification of micro-organisms, biofilm formation, and its electrochemical importance
  • Corrosion (prediction) models and patterns in MIC
  • Detection, chemical management, and treatment of MIC
  • Pre-and post-commissioning practices
  • General patterns and paradigms to recognise and deal with MIC

 What should I be?

  • VPs and directors
  • Division Heads
  • Senior Managers
  • Researchers
  • Inspectors
  • Practitioners of corrosion control, asset integrity, and materials selection

What industry should I be from?

  • Pipeline industry
  • Water & wastewater treatment
  • Oil and gas (upstream and down-stream)
  • Power generation
  • Marine Industry
  • Chemical Industry

WHAT WILL I GAIN?

“In-workshop exercises to apply the concepts to examples”

  • Gaining a better understanding of the importance of corrosion management routine as applied to MIC
  • Understanding corrosion (especially microbial corrosion) mitigation methods more efficiently
  • Learning the most sensible and trustful way of MIC treatment
  • Recognising MIC from other corrosion manifestations
  • Capable of giving more feasible advice on materials selection and biocide control
  • Differentiating “myths” from “realities” in MIC mitigation
  • Design/apply prevention/mitigation of MIC practices

To being a corrosion 'nerd'

By
I am someone who loves to study. This may sound 'nerdy'. In fact, someone called me that once. I was almost 22 and even then I was OFFENDED. Hah! This is something so many of us have struggled with. In fact, just to not be a 'nerd', there are people who have simply stopped studying as much as they used to. After all 'OMG, you study so much!' is not really 'cool' after a certain age. Not anymore! I have learned that everyone is 'nerdy' in their own way, even those who pride themselves of being 'laid back' and proceed to call others 'nerds'.  So, here's to you, the sports lover. YES, I am looking at you. If you can mouth off the statistics for your favourite team, you are a nerd, only a sports one. In fact when I get hold of a magazine for corrosion, I have to take a deep breath and choose which article to read. Obviously, I want to read all the articles at once! There is so much to learn, especially in terms of scie...

Corrosion risk planning - 1 - Lead acid battery

By
Corrosion is a quality, environment, and safety issue. Hence, it has to come under the cope of integrated management system audits However at the moment, it is more or less considered a quality issue. As such, the general tendency is to solve corrosion issues as they come. Especially in new inventions, the foresight to look for potential corrosion risk gets lost in the attempt to focus and highlight the amazing qualities of the said inventions. Hence, I have initiated this series, where I will take a component and point out the potential corrosion and damage risk areas.  Here goes the first one - lead acid battery cell. (Source:https://opentextbc.ca/chemistry/chapter/17-5-batteries-and-fuel-cells/)  Protective casing -  effect of temperature + electrolyte + contamination in electrolyte on the polymer crevice corrosion at fixtures mechanical damage during handling leading to voids for moisture ingress and oxygen/electrolyte leakage Positive terminal - corrosion of the mate...
