Microbially Influenced Corrosion (MIC)

Some microorganisms can enhance corrosion processes. This is known as “microbially influenced corrosion” (MIC). The heaviness depends on the combination and type of microorganisms present.

Our MIC analyses can help to contain and solve the problem.

Molecular Risk Assessment for MIC

Provides a first assessment on the contribution of microbially influenced corrosion (MIC) to the system. Basis are measurements of the DNA concentration of microorganisms associated with MIC .

Molecular Profiling Analysis of Industrial Water

Identifies the most prominent bacteria in the analysed water or filter, and reports their available metabolic properties.

'Molecular Total Microbial Count' (mTMC) in Industrial Water

Measures the total DNA concentration of bacteria. This ‘molecular total microbial count’ is a measure for how many microorganisms are present in a sample.

Molecular Quantification of Sulfate Reducing Bacteria (SRB) in Industrial Water

Measures the DNA concentration of sulfate reducing bacteria (SRB) in the analysed water or filter.
