The Manual of Biocorrosion explains the microbiology,
electrochemistry, and surface phenomena involved in biocorrosion
and biofouling processes. Written primarily for non-specialists,
the information in this manual is practical and offers a
comprehensive look at the three components of biocorrosion: the
microorganisms, the metal, and the aqueous environment. It also
addresses methods for the monitoring, prevention, and control of
biocorrosion. The first part of the book covers the fundamental
aspects of microbiology, electrochemistry, and biofouling of metal
surfaces. The second half describes biocorrosion assessment in the
laboratory and the field, the main control and mitigation
procedures used, practical case studies, and laboratory methods and
formulations.
The Manual of Biocorrosion is the book the industrial sector (water
treatment plants, oil refineries, etc.) has been waiting for,
providing the basics for implementing prevention, control, and
mitigation procedures. In addition, it covers the latest industry
trends with discussions of biocide selection, strategies for
treating biocorrosion without harming the environment, and the
latest monitoring programs. The academic sector will benefit as
well from the up-to-date information on mechanisms and recent
advances in all biocorrosion aspects and technology. Research
trends such as the application of surface analysis techniques and
modern electron microscopy, the use of conventional and innovative
electrochemical techniques for assessment, and microbial inhibition
of corrosion are all considered.
