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

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...

Thesis flowchart...aka...How to decide what to write first in your thesis?

By
It was that moment in my thesis writing when I had received a terrible feedback and was asked to overhaul the entire document. It was time to take a break from the screen and go back to basics. I printed out my document and went home. Then I took a break that evening, because it is one of the most underrated but essential things to get everything into perspective. The next day I proceeded to lay out the pages of my thesis chapter-wise on the table. Then I took a blank paper and pad. I thought, "How will I explain my work to my family members in my native language?" So I decided to write down my work in my native language in the form of an algorithm and then rearrange my thesis. I answered the following questions to do so - What is the issue? Where is it encountered? Is it very common? What makes it so very important? What are the steps that people have already taken to solve it? Why have they not been that effective? What is it that I did to solve the issue? How did I do it? ...

Cathodic protection snapshot

By
Name of technique Cathodic protection Use Prevent corrosion Complement protection given by coatings Definition A technique where an ionic current towards the structure from the electrolyte is used to counter the corrosion current flowing out of the structure. CP criteria CP potential of -850 mV vs. CSE An instant off potential of at least -850 mV vs CSE A minimum 100 mV polarization post instant off CP measurement techniques Soil resistivity CIPS DCVG Line current Factors affecting CP requirements pH velocity ionic type ionic concentration temperature Issues with CP Stray current corrosion Insufficient CP potential Insufficient CP current Electrical shorting I will discuss all these with examples in this major course, where you can prepare for the basics for your certification course!
