MIC and Marine Corrosion: Industry Training Course
The Carlow Training School is designed as an intensive two-day technical workshop focusing on Microbiologically Influenced Corrosion (MIC) and related corrosion management strategies. This program brings together leading experts to provide participants with both theoretical foundations and practical insights into corrosion processes, assessment methods, and integration of microbiological data for informed decision-making.
The training will cover:
- Fundamentals of MIC and corrosion of metals
- Corrosion management practices and standards
- Case studies from industrial and marine environments
- Sampling theory and data interpretation
- Advanced integration of microbiological evidence with engineering approaches
By combining lectures, interactive workshops, and real-world case discussions, the program aims to strengthen technical competencies in corrosion control and microbial analysis. This initiative supports knowledge transfer between academia and industry, fostering innovation and best practices in infrastructure.
ISMOS 11: Bergen Norway
In the oil and gas industry, technologies have been developed to address microbial-related issues such as oil field souring, microbiologically influenced corrosion, biofouling, and targeted measures for risk assessment and mitigation. Microorganisms have also benefited the oil sector through microbial-enhanced oil recovery and bioremediation of petroleum-contaminated environments. However, during the current transitional phase in the oil and gas industry, the role of the microbiome within the current infrastructure and its potential impact on future systems remains an open question.
