The case studies of MIC in different water environments

Abstract

There are presented case studies of MIC in various industrial systems, mainly from carbon and stainless steels, which failed - water pipeline, sprinkler systems, sewage pipeline, cooling pipeline, water tanks, etc.. The identification of MIC was done according to morphology of corroded surface, chemical analysis of deposits, water analysis, etc. Bacterial tests for BSR and IRB were done, too.
