Early detection
Routine monitoring flags corrosive microorganisms early—enabling timely intervention and longer asset life.
Overview
Detect and address MIC before it disrupts operations
MIC arises when biofilms of corrosive microorganisms colonize metal surfaces, accelerating corrosion. Our laboratory and field assessments identify the microbes involved and quantify impact, providing actionable insights for effective mitigation.
ISO/IEC 17025:2017 accredited practices and reporting.
Why mitigate MIC
Early action saves cost and safeguards safety
Maintenance strategies
Microbial characterization guides choice of biocides and environmental controls to inhibit growth.
Efficiency
Targeted mitigation reduces downtime, repair scope, and premature component replacement.
Operational integrity
Minimizes leaks and failures in critical sectors by maintaining infrastructure integrity.
