Systems that are susceptible to microbial contamination!   Water and wastewater: Continuous monitoring and control of systems and equipment used in this industry for contamination with sulfate-reducing bacteria and iron bacteria is important for two reasons. One is to maintain the quality of treated water in terms of odor, taste, and color, and the […]

  Rapid identification is the key to effective corrosion control     Over time, as more EPS is produced by microorganisms inside the biofilm, the network inside the biofilm becomes thicker and more complex. This makes the biofilm resistant to the substances and methods used to clean and remove it. The more resistant the biofilm […]

  Microbial Corrosion of Metals     Biocorrosion, Microbial Corrosion, or Microbial Influenced Corrosion (MIC) can be defined as an electrochemical process in which microorganisms are capable of initiating, facilitating, or accelerating corrosion reactions without any changes in their electrochemical nature. Researchers have reported that approximately 20-40% of corrosion damage is caused by microbial corrosion, […]
