Failure Modes, Effects and Causes of Microbiologically Influenced Corrosion

Failure Modes, Effects and Causes of Microbiologically Influenced Corrosion: Advanced Perspectives and Analysis presents academic research about microbial corrosion (MIC), integrating it into engineering applications that result in a more thorough understanding of MIC and how it is recognized and treated. In addition, new concepts that will be useful in understanding integrity and corrosion management practices are explored. This book will be useful for industry professionals, particularly maintenance and operation engineers, corrosion and material engineers, and R&D personnel working in the field of corrosion protection.

• Focuses on the skills and knowledge necessary to understand how (Failure modes) and why (Effects and Causes) materials fail
• Explains why corrosion control measures, such as the use of coatings, cathodic protection and inhibitors are useful
• Discusses the practical side of MIC treatment in terms of fundamental concepts of time and cost of operation

Dr. Javaherdashti holds a double degree in materials science and metallurgical engineering. He has more than 20 years of industrial and academic experience. In addition to various research papers and root cause analysis reports, Dr. Javaherdashti has authored several reference books on corrosion. He is an American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)-approved trainer and has designed and executed many international industrial workshops. Furthermore, he has been involved in many consulting and problem-solving activities around the globe and is also a corrosion advisor to internationally renowned companies. Dr. Javherdashti is a veteran member of various well-reputed international corrosion societies such as the National Association of Corrosion Engineers (NACE).

Farzaneh Akvan has M.Sc. degree in Physical Chemistry with a focus on corrosion. Furthermore, as a graduate of Harvard Business School and an entrepreneur, she has professional interest in corrosion cost analysis and corrosion management. Besides her professional job as a corrosion consultant, she has served as the Manager of National Corrosion Association and senior corrosion inspector at SGS Company. She was selected as the “Best Young Researcher of all Europe” in 2010 and received the award of Honor from Gubkin State University. Along with her associated work with Dr. Javaherdashti on Futuristic models of corrosion management, she has several publications about corrosion, particularly MIC. She has been a veteran member of IES, Young researchers and elites club and NACE.
