Abstract
Microbially influenced corrosion of carbon steel in anaerobic
environment is difficult to monitor with electrochemical
techniques because of heterogeneous surface conditions and
electrochemically active corrosion products. Weight loss
measurement, LPR, EIS, hydrogen permeation, and a refined ER
technique have been evaluated including field tests in soil and
marine sediment. The conclusions are that EIS can detect combined
biofilm and corrosion product film formation, but corrosion rate
is overestimated. The ER technique seems to give a correct and
sensitive corrosion rate measurement within minutes. Hydrogen
permeation measurements can indirectly identify sulphide.
