... activities poses the threat of microbiologically influenced corrosion (MIC) when conditions are favorable. The focus of this paper is to outline a test method to evaluate the potential for MIC with untreated waters and subsequently assess the effectiveness of biocides to inhibit biofilm growth and mitigate...

... 503 internal corrosion accidents, accounting for a total property damage of approximately $188,000,000 and nearly 53,000 barrels spilled. Nearly half of these internal corrosion failures were caused by microbiologically influenced corrosion (MIC). About a third were associated with water drop-out/acid...

...Abstract Crude oil transmission pipelines are treated with chemicals to mitigate microbiologically influenced corrosion (MIC). Often such corrosion occurs at over and under bends in pipelines due to the flow regimes that allow the suspended particulate in the crude to settle. The resulting sludge...

... because zinc is an active metal. Carbon steel can be coated with zinc to protect against corrosion. These metals are known as galvanized steel. In this work, microbiologically influenced corrosion (MIC) of pure zinc and galvanized steel caused by a sulfate reducing bacterium was investigated. After 7 days...

...RESULTS AND DISCUSSION Characterization of bioreactors before corrosion mitigation (baseline conditions) Abstract Although microbiologically influenced corrosion (MIC) in pipelines is challenging to mitigate, it is generally accepted that pigging, a mechanical cleaning process that removes water...

... * Presenting author Abstract Microorganisms are notorious for being involved in serious metal infrastructure damage, popularly known as microbiologically influenced corrosion (MIC). Long term corrosion incubations (~2 years) with carbon steel (CS) beads were established using produced water...

... of pigging debris was performed from three multiphase pipelines that previously were exposed to microbiologically influenced corrosion (MIC) due to high abundances of sulfate-reducing prokaryotes (SRP) and methanogens. Sampling was also performed from a water injection pipeline to investigate differences...

To further understand how measurements of living vs. dead microorganisms in pipeline or produced water...

... the operational pressure to be lowered or, in a worst-case scenario, a pipeline failure. Water treatment is essential to mitigate corrosion, although the potential for microbiologically influenced corrosion (MIC) in injection water pipelines is assumed to be lower compared to oil or multiphase pipelines where...

...The involvement of microorganisms in corrosion problems, or so called Microbiologically Influenced Corrosion (MIC) is increasingly recognized as a severe problem of metal degradation in industry. ¹ In many industrial systems it remains difficult to retain full control of microbial...

... microbiological growth. As the internal part of the oil production system in general is anaerobic, microbiologically influenced corrosion (MIC) is caused by microorganisms growing on surfaces using either nitrate, sulfate, or carbon dioxide as major metabolic pathways. Hence, anaerobic microbiological growth...
