Abstract

Microbial induced (MIC) can occur due to the long building time frames connected with nuclear facilities and the huge number of redundant or standby systems where water is permitted to remain stagnant for long periods of time.MIC affects stainless steels and copper alloys are all susceptible to MIC in raw water applications.Visual examination is especially helpful in performing preliminary assessments of MIC.If properly diagnosed,MIC can be effectively treated during plant development
The main aim of this work is directed to investigate some methods for evaluation and controlling one of the most important economic problems resulted from the presence of some microorganisms which are responsible for promoting corrosion process of metals
The research also concerned with the scales formation studies for water and the effect of some scale inhibitors on the scales formed during cooling processes. This research also includes the results of using some special biocides as achemical method used for reducing microbial counts
