This book was released on 2013-06-29 with total page 666 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume, unlike the three preceding it, represents the collected papers from an experiment with an "electronic symposium". Co-participators in this symposium included The George Washington University, The Smithsonian Institution, Clark Atlanta University, the Agriculture Research Service of the United States Department of Agriculture, The University of Georgia, Morris Brown College, Spellman College, Morehouse College, North Carolina State University at Raleigh, The United States Food and Drug Administration, and the Forest Service of the United States Department of Agriculture among others. This unusual "electronic symposium" concept was developed by members of the Program, Planning and Organizing Committee as an alternative to the more costly convention-type symposium. As before, leading scientists in specific topic areas were invited to participate. Topic Session chairpersons were encouraged to arrange their own method of communication by telephone, electronic mail, or conference call, and report their findings back to the symposium center at The George Washington University. Additional papers were accepted from individuals and laboratories who are actively involved in relevant areas of research and study. Participation was also arranged for internationally established scientists. International authors are represented herein from Nigeria, Italy, Spain, Brazil and Argentina. Our goal was to present a research composite volume that reflected current developments, informed reviews, new and recently developing areas of the present state of knowledge as it relates to these proceeding topics. All of the reports included in this volume have undergone scientific, technical and editorial peer review.

This book was released on 2014 with total page 160 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This dissertation describes the effects of microbial attachment and biofilm formation on microbiologically influenced corrosion (MIC). The participation of microbes in the corrosion process includes initial attachment, biofilm formation, localized environment changing, and eventually, corrosion. Initial microbial attachment is considered as the first step of MIC. In the first part of this study, the initial attachment of three bacteria, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Escherichia coli, and Pseudomonas putida, on two substrates, glass and octadecyltrichlorosilane (OTS) modified glass, was examined in flow chambers. The attachment trend on glass could be explained by the secondary minima and energy barriers as predicted by the extended Derjaguin-Landau-Verwey-Overbeek (XDLVO) theory. This part of study generated some insights into the effects of cell and substrate surface properties on initial bacterial attachment. In addition to the surface and medium properties, other factors such as the shear associated flow conditions could be one of the most important factors affecting initial bacterial attachment as well. In the second part of this study, four bacteria, Staphylococcus epidermidis, P. aeruginosa, P. putida, and E. coli, were examined for their attachment to glass and OTS modified glass under different shears. The results from this part of the study suggested that, without complications from surface features/extracellular polymeric substances (EPS), the analysis based on the XDLVO theory could provide a basis for understanding shear effect on initial bacterial attachment. The critical shear stress, a measure of bacterial attachment strength, was found to be correlated with the maximum attractive force towards the secondary energy minimum. As microbes attach and develop into biofilm on metal surfaces, the localized environment of metal surfaces could be changed by the influence of microbial metabolism. The third part of this study is intended to evaluate how early stage of biofilm formation affects carbon steel and aluminum alloy corrosion. In this part, aluminum alloy (Al 3003 H14) coupons and carbon steel (CS C1010) coupons were used, along with two common bacterial strains, P. aeruginosa and E. coli. Results showed that bacterial attachment strength and subsequent biofilm development could strongly influence metal corrosion behaviors. In the fourth part of this study, corrosion behaviors of carbon steel (CS C1010) and stainless steel (SS 304) in the presence of iron-oxidizing bacteria: Acidithiobacillus ferrooxidans was examined. Results showed that, due to the extremely high oxidizing rate of Fe(II) to Fe(III), A. ferrooxidans cells can accelerate CS corrosion, while SS 304 showed a good resistance to corrosion. The accelerated CS corrosion was likely related to the metabolism of A. ferroxidans, but not to the attachment strength and biofilm development of A. ferroxidans. In the last part, corrosion behaviors of aluminum alloy (Al 2024) in the presence of Trichoderma reesei and Aspergillus niger were evaluated. Results showed that T. reesei or A. niger could not firmly attach to Al coupon surfaces in an aqueous environment, and they could not corrode Al 2024 under our experimental conditions.

Download or read book Microbially Induced Corrosion and its Mitigation written by Ajay K. Singh and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2020-09-24 with total page 136 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This brief covers case studies on Microbial Induced Corrosion (MIC) and its mitigation. After reviewing the basics of corrosion, it focuses on MIC. MIC is a special type of electrochemical corrosion in which the presence of microbes and bacteria alters the chemistry of liquid media so as to make them more corrosive. These changes are harmful to metallic equipment, processing machinery, marine vessels, etc. in an environment that is host to a wealth of microorganisms. A 2007 US survey estimated corrosion-related damages to cost $276 billion a year, roughly 50% of which are due to MIC. The industries most affected by MIC are power production, oil exploration, transportation and storage, water distribution and more generally all industries involving marine environments. However, means for effectively preventing and controlling MIC are poorly understood. As such, the book’s later chapters address various mechanisms/processes that show promise with regard to MIC mitigation. Lastly, the book discusses the strategies currently being explored to mitigate MIC using green technologies.

Download or read book Microbiologically Influenced Corrosion in the Upstream Oil and Gas Industry written by Torben Lund Skovhus and published by CRC Press. This book was released on 2017-03-03 with total page 564 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Microorganisms are ubiquitously present in petroleum reservoirs and the facilities that produce them. Pipelines, vessels, and other equipment used in upstream oil and gas operations provide a vast and predominantly anoxic environment for microorganisms to thrive. The biggest technical challenge resulting from microbial activity in these engineered environments is the impact on materials integrity. Oilfield microorganisms can affect materials integrity profoundly through a multitude of elusive (bio)chemical mechanisms, collectively referred to as microbiologically influenced corrosion (MIC). MIC is estimated to account for 20 to 30% of all corrosion-related costs in the oil and gas industry. This book is intended as a comprehensive reference for integrity engineers, production chemists, oilfield microbiologists, and scientists working in the field of petroleum microbiology or corrosion. Exhaustively researched by leaders from both industry and academia, this book discusses the latest technological and scientific advances as well as relevant case studies to convey to readers an understanding of MIC and its effective management.
