  • Focuses on providing easy-to-follow solutions for both engineers in practice and researchers
  • Introduces the concept of a human /management factor in dealing with microbiologically influenced corrosion (MIC) and shows that MIC must be taken into consideration in any strategic management planning
  • Examines the possibility of using fuzzy logics to predict the microbial corrosion phenomenon
  • Offers a “solution provision” approach based on years of field and research experience
  • Is unique in going beyond elucidation of known facts
  • Suggests mechanisms for the impact of CP on MIC, and the possible role of magnetotactic bacteria in enhancing microbial corrosion
  • Explores the largely-overlooked function of Clostridia in corrosion and the potential of using natural biocides
  • Discusses the fact that very different systems have the same MIC mechanisms
  • Includes supplementary material: sn.pub/extras

About this book

Significantly extended from the first edition, this book presents the basics of microbiologically influenced corrosion (MIC) in an accessible and concise manner. It explores strategies for recognizing, understanding, mitigating and preventing this type of corrosion, and investigates this topic from the point of view of an engineer. Chapters cover issues including stress corrosion cracking and microbial corrosion, the pros and cons of biocides, the involvement of magnetic bacteria in microbial corrosion, and cathodic protection based on recent research in microbial environments. The 2nd Edition provides new material examining the following topics: *The corrosion-related bacteria clostridia
*Mathematical modelling of MIC, in particular fuzzy logic
*A comparison of culture-independent methods with culture-dependent methods
*Further practical strategies for dealing with MIC
*Natural biocides
This book has provided course material for the author’s microbial corrosion workshops around the world, and it presents an invaluable resource to corrosion and integrity professionals working in a wide range of industries including power generation, oil and gas, marine, and mining. It is also intended for students and academics of corrosion engineering, materials science, microbiology, chemical engineering and welding.
