Microbial corrosion can impact a wide variety of materials, ranging from metals to concrete and plastics. This type of corrosion arises when microorganisms such as bacteria, fungi, and algae thrive on the surface of a material in an environment that promotes corrosion.
The acceleration of corrosion due to microbial presence can result in expensive repairs and replacements of equipment and infrastructure. Hence, it is crucial to comprehend the causes, effects, and solutions of microbial corrosion.
Microbiologically influenced corrosion refers to the influence of microorganisms on the kinetics of the corrosion process. Microbial corrosion is a serious problem that can weaken and degrade materials over time. At Avecom, we can help you identify the cause and extent of the microbial corrosion with a problem assessment and damage investigation. We’ll work with you to develop a customized solution that fits your specific needs and prevents costly repairs and replacements.
