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...

3 steps to begin experiments...aka...I am lost in this lab!

By
  All the students in the first few days of research are faced with the dilemma of the right time and way to begin experimentation. There are as many ways and thought processes to do so as there are people. I will share my learnings here. The problem is that the literature review tends to become so vast that it is difficult to decide what the exact problem is. 1. The best way is to NOT WAIT for the literature review to get over. Begin with the experiments simultaneously. Gain experience on as many new techniques as possible. 2. Start with that research paper which will most likely form the basis of your work. Attempt to reproduce the experiments in the paper. Try to see what other experiments can corroborate those results. 3. Select the correct research papers to continue the literature review. P.S. All the experiments should have a reason for doing them. You should be able to answer the question 'Why should I do this experiment? What will I learn?'
