Use Multiple Lines of Evidence
MIC assessment is based on collecting and analyzing multiple lines of information, including chemical conditions, microbiology, operation and design information and corrosion/materials assessments.
Learn about state-of-the-art molecular microbiological methods and how data from these methods is interpreted.
Gain confidence in your ability to organize and conduct a MIC threat assessment.

It's more than just microbes...
Microorganisms are present nearly everywhere in the environment and some can survive extreme conditions, however; how do we know when they are the cause of corrosion?
While research is going on now to search for biomarkers for MIC, we know that the presence of microorganisms alone does not mean that MIC will occur. Thus, other lines of evidence that help us understand corrosion mechanisms in a given environment are essential.
