Abstract
Microbiologically influenced corrosion (MIC) poses serious problems for the petrochemical and refinery industries. Particularly favourable conditions for MIC arise in storage tanks and transmission pipelines for mixtures of diesel oil with the addition of a biocomponent (in Poland 7%). The best conditions for the development of MIC occur at the fuel-water interface, where microorganisms are provided with a source of food and water, the presence of which is one of the basic conditions for the development of microorganisms. The development of microbiological deposits leads to the formation of sludge, causing fuel deterioration and corrosion that occurs under the resulting biomass. Studies have shown that biodiesel, alone as a substitute and as an additive to traditional fuels, increases the corrosion rate of carbon steel used in pipelines, storage tanks and other fuel infrastructure. Therefore, there is an increasing demand for research on methods of protecting steel surfaces in these conditions. The phenomena causing the corrosion of tanks and directions of research related to the protection against corrosion of infrastructure will be discussed.
