Significantly extended from the first edition this book presents the basics of
microbiologically influenced corrosion (MIC) in an accessible and concise manner. It explores
strategies for recognizing understanding mitigating and preventing this type of corrosion
and investigates this topic from the point of view of an engineer. Chapters cover issues
including stress corrosion cracking and microbial corrosion the pros and cons of biocides the
involvement of magnetic bacteria in microbial corrosion and cathodic protection based on
recent research in microbial environments. The 2nd Edition provides new material examining the
following topics: _The corrosion-related bacteria clostridia_Mathematical modelling of MIC in
particular fuzzy logic_A comparison of culture-independent methods with culture-dependent
methods_Further practical strategies for dealing with MIC _Natural biocidesThis book has
provided course material for the author's microbial corrosion workshops around the world and
it presents an invaluable resource to corrosion and integrity professionals working in a wide
range of industries including power generation oil and gas marine and mining. It is also
intended for students and academics of corrosion engineering materials science microbiology
chemical engineering and welding.
