Uniform Corrosion of Copper Piping Caused by Microbiological Attack
-
Published:2019
Abstract
Copper piping in a closed-loop water heater system was found to be corroded with MIC and erosion of the weak oxide layer. Investigation (visual inspection, bacterial corrosion cultures, and 20x/400x micrographs) supported the conclusion that the corrosion was caused by microbiological attack, specifically sulfur-reducing bacteria. No recommendations were made.
