The relationship between Cathodic Protection

and Microbiologically-influenced Corrosion

Dr. Ahmad Mahmoud Salamah*

Maha Rajab**

(Received 13 / 1 / 2011. Accepted 2 / 6 / 2011)

∇ ABSTRACT ∇
Microbiologically-influenced corrosion (MIC) is one of the greatest mysteries of
corrosion science and engineering. (MIC) is corrosion resulting from the presence and
activities of microorganisms, including bacteria and fungi. It is responsible for 27% of the
corrosion deposits on the exterior of line pipe. To protect against all forms of external
corrosion and cracking, several coating materials are used including asphalts, polyolefin
tapes, and fusion-bonded epoxies (FBE). Line pipe is further protected by an impressed
current or cathodic protection (CP). MIC can occur in the presence of these preventative
measures.

Key word: Corrosion, Microscopic Organisms, Biofilm, Cathodic Protection
