!! 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?
- 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
