  Berlin, Germany (SPX) Oct 27, 2024 Pipelines, sprinklers, and other infrastructure in oxygen-free settings are at risk from Microbially Induced Corrosion (MIC). This process, caused by microorganisms, leads to the degradation of iron-based structures, posing significant risks of costly damages or even infrastructure collapse. MIC is a distinct type of corrosion that occurs in the absence of oxygen, unlike rust, which is driven by oxygen-based chemical reactions. The microbes responsible for MIC feed directly on the iron, triggering a des ... read more |
