Welcome to our Wiki about Internal Microbially Influenced Corrosion in Pipelines

Authors: Xiaohan Huang, Jennifer Le, Yu Liu, Edward Song, James Zhong

This Wiki was created in Fall 2014 for the class CHEM 409: Applied Chemistry and Chemical Pathways for Engineers. The website was created by a group of third year chemical engineering students at the Schulich School of Engineering. The purpose of this website is to provide an general outline of the problem of microbially influenced corrosion and its importance, as well as provide chemical mechanisms and preventative and treatment measures.
