Book Description
Corrosion influenced or driven by the presence or activities of microorganisms is known as biocorrosion or microbiologically influenced corrosion (MIC). MIC has been recognized as a significant problem in many industrial systems such as power plant cooling systems, oil and gas transportation, and water utilities. In nature, different types of microorganisms live in a community that attaches to materials such as metals to form a biofilm. Microbes in the biofilm are responsible for MIC. Thus, it is critical to understand the corrosion mechanisms that are caused by different microbes and find better ways to treat biofilms.
