Article Synopsis
- Microbiologically influenced corrosion (MIC) significantly impacts industries like naval engineering, as seen in a case where tugboats suffered pitting corrosion in their carbon steel hulls.
- The study analyzed seawater from the bilge, revealing the presence of certain bacteria through DNA tests, leading to a proposed mechanism for the corrosion.
- Based on findings, the researchers evaluated a biocide treatment and suggested a new maintenance protocol to effectively combat MIC, emphasizing the need for improved engineering design in maritime vessels.
