Microbiologically Influenced Corrosion (MIC) is estimated to be a factor in causing about 30-40% of total corrosion-related failures. This type of corrosion results from the formation of biofilms on metal surfaces. The activities of a consortium of microorganisms in the biofilm influence corrosion by altering the electrochemical conditions at the metal-solution interface. MIC monitoring thus requires a combination of microbiological, surface analytical and electrochemical techniques. This paper reviews various techniques available to monitor MIC including molecular biology techniques, surface analytical tools and electrochemical methods. The paper also highlights an online electrochemical probe that can simultaneously monitor both microbial activity and corrosion.
