MIC corrosion, what is that, exactly?

Everybody is familiar with the phenomenon of corrosion. Corrosion is the degradation of materials (particularly metals) through electrochemical reactions.

What is less well known is that corrosion can also be caused or accelerated by microorganisms. This process is called biocorrosion or MIC (Microbiologically Influenced Corrosion).

Action is (unintended) reaction

In our consultancy work, we regularly come across well-intentioned actions by clients that cause unintended reactions, such as the development of MIC (microbial corrosion). At first sight, these are often very logical actions which, unfortunately, can have major consequences.

We have listed five of them for you. These experiences of others may help you to prevent similar problems.
