Microbiological Corrosion In Oil & Gas Industry

March 30 - March 31

Microbiologically Influenced Corrosion (MIC) has been reported to influence many industry operations. it can accelerate most of corrosion, including uniform, pitting, crevice, galvanic, intergranular, and stress corrosion cracking.

The major microbial problem in the oil and gas industry is in storage tanks, transportation pipelines and other water networks, which can lead to loss of product quality, formation of sludge, and failure of pipeline network, and storage tanks. A fine film of water on the tank surfaces, or a few micro-litres in the fuel, is enough to allow growth of microorganisms, and cell metabolism, once begun, results in the production of biodegradable products and thus the cycle continues. Survival of microbial population on hydrocarbons even in the absence of oxygen is a severe threat to the hydrocarbon industry.

In order to address the problem of microbiological corrosion in a systematic manner, it is essential to understand the microbial contaminations and their effect on metallic corrosion w.r.t. the operating conditions and accordingly develop a robust treatment plan along with monitoring techniques.

WHO SHOULD ATTEND

Personnel engaged in oil & gas Technical, Operations, Maintenance and Inspection Team, Researchers, Academic Institutes, Business personnel of Corrosion Monitoring Equipment, Pipeline Operations and Maintenance Teams. Microbiologists and Biotechnologists. Water Treatment, Refinery, Internal / External Corrosion Engineers, Additives & Paint manufacturers.
