Microbiologically Influenced Corrosion: What Every Technician Should Know

Microbiologically Influenced Corrosion: What Every Technician Should Know Microbiologically Influenced Corrosion (MIC) is one of the most misunderstood, and most costly corrosion mechanisms affecting today’s critical infrastructure. From pipelines and storage tanks to wastewater systems and marine assets, MIC can quietly accelerate metal loss, undermine protective coatings, and trigger unexpected failures long before traditional corrosion indicators appear. In this LinkedIn LIVE session, we'll break down MIC in a way every technician, inspector, applicator, and maintenance professional can immediately apply in the field. We’ll explore what MIC actually is (and what it isn’t), how microbial communities form and attack surfaces, the tell‑tale signs technicians should watch for, and the practical steps that help prevent or mitigate MIC‑related damage. Whether you’re new to the concept or looking to sharpen your diagnostic skills, this broadcast will give you the clarity and confidence to recognize MIC early...and protect the assets you’re responsible for. Key Takeaways: What MIC is and why it’s often misdiagnosed The microbial groups most commonly involved Real‑world environments where MIC thrives Field indicators technicians should never ignore How MIC interacts with coatings and linings Practical prevention and mitigation strategies Join in LIVE and strengthen your understanding of one of the industry’s most challenging corrosion mechanisms. Your knowledge is a frontline defense in safeguarding infrastructure. #Microbial #Corrosion #Coatings Want to create LIVE events like this?
