What should I know about MIC monitoring?
MIC Monitoring
There are a wide variety of methods available for corrosion and MIC monitoring, including microbiological methods based on DNA. Whether monitoring the effectiveness of mitigation or assessing an asset for the first time, the selection of monitoring methods to provide multiple lines of evidence is crucial. There is no method that solely and reliably identified MIC; rather it is the intelligent combination of multiple methods and technologies. This course provide details about each method and how to select and implement the appropriate methods for different assets.
