MECHANISTIC AND KINETIC STUDIES OF MICROBIOLOGICALLY INFLUENCED CORROSION (MIC) IN THE PRESENCE OF DOMINANT SULPHATE REDUCING BACTERIA (SRB) METABOLIC SPECIES
Microbiologically influenced corrosion (MIC) is a serious problem in the oil and gas industry. The most common microorganism responsible for MIC is sulphate reducing bacteria (SRB) which produces detrimental sulphide ions into the environment. Therefore, many studies have been conducted to study...

| Summary: | Microbiologically influenced corrosion (MIC) is a serious problem in the oil and gas
industry. The most common microorganism responsible for MIC is sulphate reducing
bacteria (SRB) which produces detrimental sulphide ions into the environment.
Therefore, many studies have been conducted to study the effect of sulphide ions on
the corrosion rate of mild steel using inorganic solution chemistry but ignored the
possible effects of other SRB metabolic species which are produced along with
sulphide such as sulphite, lactate, acetate, pyruvate and thiosulphate. The exclusion of
other metabolic species implies some deficiency of the current understanding of MIC
problem. |
