Microbiologically Influenced Corrosion (MIC) remains one of the most challenging and least understood forms of degradation in industrial systems. This specialized training week, held at the ICorr training facility in Northampton, aims to bridge the knowledge gap for professionals working in water treatment, oil and gas, and infrastructure. MIC can lead to rapid, localized failure of stainless steel and other alloys, often going undetected until a catastrophic leak occurs.
Throughout the week, participants will delve into the biology of sulfate-reducing bacteria (SRB) and other microorganisms that thrive in industrial environments. The course covers the latest DNA-based monitoring techniques, chemical biocides, and physical cleaning methods used to manage biofilm growth. Led by world-class experts, the sessions combine rigorous academic theory with real-world troubleshooting.
Attendees will participate in interactive sessions to analyze failure reports and design effective MIC management plans. This course is particularly valuable for those looking to achieve the "ICorr Certified MIC Technologist" credential, a globally recognized mark of excellence. By understanding the intersection of microbiology and metallurgy, delegates will be better prepared to protect critical infrastructure from the silent threat of biological decay. The venue in Northampton provides a professional setting conducive to networking and technical exchange, ensuring every participant leaves with actionable strategies for their specific workplace challenges.
