Funded Activity Summary

The role of sulphate reducing bacteria in the pitting corrosion of mild steel as used for engineering infrastructure applications. The present project will provide better understanding necessary for the improved assessment of infrastructure potentially suffering pitting corrosion deterioration, including hazardous material containers, tanks, pipelines, offshore platforms and ships. Mild steel has been proposed (in the UK and USA) for the design of nuclear waste containments. In some locations the saline ground-waters may cause pitting. Extremely long time horizons are involved and hence improved understanding is important.
