Within the last decade researchers have gained a significant understanding of the role of biofilms in the onset of microbial-induced corrosion in anthropogenic water systems. Biofilms are the preferred habitat for microorganisms and in this environment they are protected from harsh chemical treatments shear stress and predators. Within the biofilm matrix microorganisms thrive in conditions responsible for promoting a corrosive environment. The types of bacteria responsible for corrosion vary from system to system. In this study we used a novel biomonitoring system installed in 28 unique industrial water systems across the United States. These systems provided not only a diverse geographical biofilm sample set but also allowed the evaluation in the seasonal variation within the biofilm samples collected from the same system. Metagenomic sequence analysis was utilized to provide a new understanding of the variations in bacterial populations existing in biofilms. Data revealed from the analysis will provide insight on the phylogenetically and metabolically distinct species present in the biofilms. This will aid in the formation of new anti-biofilm strategies to help minimize microbial-induced corrosion.

Corrosion under insulation (CUI) is a critical challenge that affects the integrity of assets for which the oil and gas industry is not immune. Over the last few decades, both downstream and upstream industry segments have recognized the magnitude of CUI and challenges faced by the industry in its ability to handle CUI risk-based assessment, predictive detection and inspection of CUI. It is a concern that is hidden, invisible to inspectors and prompted mainly by moisture ingress between the insulation and the metallic pipe surface. The industry faces significant issues in the inspection of insulated assets, not only of pipes, but also tanks and vessels in terms of detection accuracy and precision. Currently, there is no reliable NDT detection tool that can predict the CUI spots in a safe and fast manner. In this study, a cyber physical-based approach is being presented to identify susceptible locations of CUI through a collection of infrared data overtime. The experimental results and data analysis demonstrates the feasibility of utilizing machine-learning techniques coupled with thermography to predict areas of concern. This is through a simplified clustering and classification model utilizing the Convolutional Neural Networks (CNN). This is a unique and innovative inspection technique in tackling complex challenges within the oil and gas industry, utilizing trending technologies such as big data analytics and artificial intelligence.
