Project description

Bio-corrosion of microbiologically induced corrosion is a common problem in water pipes and oil and gas production. Specific bacterial strains found in these environments can produce highly corrosive chemicals including H2S (rotten egg gas) accelerating the corrosion of pipelines. This project will focus on the detection and characterisation of corrosion in water pipes accelerated by the presence of bacteria. The effectiveness of anti-corrosive protection in pipeline systems and early detection corrosion will be investigated. Co-supervisor: Ingo Koeper
