!! 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
