New Developments in Mitigation of Microbiologically Influenced Corrosion

Abstract

Two approaches to control of microbiologically influenced corrosion (MIC) have been developed that do not require the use of biocides. These strategies include the following: 1) use of biofilms to inhibitor prevent corrosion and 2) manipulation (removal or addition) of an electron acceptor, including oxygen, sulfate and nitrate, to influence the microbial population.
