MIC
Microbiological corrosion (MiC) is a form of local corrosion in which bacteria can develop and excrete corrosive substances. The process of corrosion reinforces the growth of bacteria, while bacteria for their part, reinforce each other. Different bacteria are able to reinforce each other, but the real culprits are the sulfate reducing bacteria. Bacteria particularly thrive in a combination of contamination and still water. In many cases this has already caused serious problems like perforation of pipes, tanks and sheet pile walls, but also blocked pipes because of accumulation of corrosion products and deposit. And that is how MiC can cause huge damage.
