Market Vertical: General: Corrosion Mechanisms & Mitigation Methods

Track: Microbiologically Influenced Corrosion (MIC)
Symposia Session

Microbiologically Influenced Corrosion (MIC)

Monday, March 16, 2026
8:00 AM - 12:30 PM Central
Location: 361 AB

The session will cover microbiologically induced corrosion (MIC) and its significant impact on various industries. The session will highlight the latest research on microbial activity’s role in accelerating material degradation, focusing on how specific bacteria and environmental conditions contribute to MIC. Papers will cover detection, monitoring, and mitigation strategies, including novel biocides, advanced coatings, and biofilm-resistant materials. Real-world case studies from sectors such as oil and gas, water treatment, and maritime that illustrate effective approaches to managing MIC are encouraged.
