Testing of the risk for MIC

Identifying microbiologically influenced corrosion or MIC is not always straightforward. In case MIC is suspected it is appropriate to perform extra tests on the medium or on the deposit/corrosion product to confirm the presence of micro-organisms and the risk for MIC. In case a relevant water sample is available, a BART (Biological Activity Reaction Test) can be performed to evaluate the presence of different bacterial groups. Besides other techniques like FTIR-spectroscopy or Q-PCR can be performed on the deposit/corrosion products.

Corrosion analysis sprinkler systems

Periodic testing of sprinkler systems brings fresh oxygenated water into the system. Steel piping in contact with oxygenated water leads to corrosion. The problem can be quite severe in case MIC [...]
