QuantArray®-MIC was performed on swab samples from internally pitted and adjacent non-pitted areas of pipeline components as part of a multiple lines of evidence approach to evaluate microbiologically influenced corrosion (MIC).
-
Concentrations of Total Bacteria, Total Archaea, sulfate reducing bacteria (SRB), methanogens, and other microorganisms commonly implicated in MIC were orders of magnitude greater in the pit samples compared to the non- pitted sample.
-
In conjunction with a review of chemical conditions and corrosion products, the QuantArray®-MIC results added a key line of evidence indicating a threat of MIC.
