In industrial and fluid handling systems, frequently the protective film forming materials suffer from severe corrosion due to microbial effects. As an example, various micro-organisms, including bacteria, exist in seawater normally fed to power and desalination plants. Unless seawater intakes are properly disinfected to control these microbial organisms, biological fouling and microbial induced corrosion (MIC) will be developed. This problem could destroy metallic alloys used for plant construction. Seawater intakes of cogeneration plants are usually disinfected by chlorine gas or sodium hypochlorite solution. The dose of disinfectant is designed according to the level of contamination of the open seawater in the vicinity of the plant intake. Higher temperature levels, lower pH, reduced flow velocity and oxidation potential play an important role in the enhancement of microbial induced corrosion and bio-fouling. This paper describes, in brief, the different types of bacteria, mechanisms of microbiological induced corrosion, susceptibility of different metal alloys to MIC and possible solutions for mitigating this problem in industry. A case study is presented for the power plant steam condenser at Al-Taweelah B-station in Abu Dhabi. The study demonstrates resistance of Titanium tubes to MIC.

This paper investigated the characteristics of anodized aluminum 6061-T6 alloy for corrosion and stress corrosion cracking(SCC) under natural seawater. The hard anodizing oxide film formed on the 6061-T6 was a uniform thickness of about 25 ㎛. The corrosion characteristics were performed with a potentiodynamic polarization test. SCC was characterized by a slow strain rate tensile test under 0.005mm/min rate. As a result, the anodizing film showed no significant effect on SCC in the slow strain rate test. However, the corrosion current density of base metal was measured to be approximately 13 times higher than that of the anodized specimen. Therefore, the anodizing film significantly improved the corrosion resistance of 6061-T6 alloy in natural seawater.

The antimicrobial resistance of 160 strains of Enterococcus faecalis and 173 strains of E. faecium to 12 antimicrobial agents was investigated. The test strains were isolated from 126 wild seawater and farmed fish, including olive flounder (Paralichthys olivaceus), black rock fish (Sebastes schlegeli), red sea bream (Pagrus major), and sea bass (Lateolabrax japonicus), in 2005 and 2006. Overall, 91.9% of the E. faecalis isolates and 88.4% of the E. faecium isolates showed antimicrobial resistance to at least one antimicrobial agent. The pattern of antimicrobial resistance of the isolates differed little according to the species of fish. The percentage of E. faecalis and E. faecium with specific antimicrobial resistance differed according to the sample source. For the isolates from farmed fish samples, 66.7% of E. faecalis were tetracycline resistant and 54.5% of E. faecium were erythromycin resistant. By contrast, in the wild fish seawater samples, 92.0% of E. faecalis were rifampin resistant and 88.5% of E. faecium were tetracycline resistant.

Reinforced concrete structures built on the seashore or in seawater are damaged from saltwater which cause to accelerate corrosion of reinforcing steel in concrete. Therefore, Corrosion of steel reinforcement of concrete structures become more and more serious, and prediction of service lives of concrete structures considering steel corrosion is needed much more. this research is to investigate basic physical properties of various corrosion inhibitors and to evaluate their corrosion resistance in concrete. The object of this study is develop appropriate corrosion protection systems so as to enhance the durability of concrete.

The properties of Low-heat cement are especially in lower heat of hydration than that of other types of cement. In other respect, Low-heat concrete is more advantageous than OPC concrete in chemical resistance, long term age compressive strength, slump loss and resistance to seawater. This paper deals with 28 days age compressive strength and slump loss by elapsed time of mortar and concrete that made with Low-heat cement and 3 types of other cement.

In this paper, we carried out the fundamental experiments on the resistance of chemical attack of mortar using the electric arc furnace slag as fine aggregate. The mortar specimens made from the electric arc furnace slag (EAF slag) as fine aggregate were immersed in artificial seawater and two sorts of chemical solutions, and measured to investigate the change of compressive strength and weight.

The durability of concrete structures decrease due to deterioration of concrete when they are constructed in marine or pollutional environments. In this study, the mortar specimens made from the five different types of cement were immersed in artificial seawater and four kinds chemical solution, and were measured the change of compressive strength and weight. The results show that the longer the immersed days are, the more the compressive strength reduction is. It has been remarked that the resistance of slag cement and ground granulated blast-furnace slag is excellent in chemical attack.

선박 기관실의 해수 배관은 염소이온 농도와 전기 전도성이 높은 해수가 빠른 속도로 유동하는 환경에 놓여 있게 된다. 따라서 부식성이 강한 염소 이온으로 인해 배관 내부에 국부 부식이 발생하여 해수가 누설되는 경우가 종종 발생하고 있다. 그래서 해수 배관의 누설 부위에 대해 일반적으로 선박 내에서 여러 가지 피복아크용접봉을 사용하여 교류 아크용접기로 보수용접을 한다. 본 연구에서는 해수파이프 등에 E4301, E4311, E4313 및 E4316과 같은 피복아크용접봉으로 용접한 경우, 용접부위에 대해 영역별로 내식성 차이를 전기화학적 방법으로 비교 분석하고, 각각의 용접부위에 대한 미세조직 관찰 및 미소 비커스 경도를 측정하였다. E4313의 용접봉을 사용한 용접부가 다른 용접봉을 사용한 용접부에 비해 가장 낮은 경도 값을 나타내었으나 내식성은 가장 우수하게 나타나고 있다. 그리고 용접봉의 종류에 관계없이 용접부는 모재보다 상대적으로 내식성이 더 우수하였고, 경도도 더 높은 값을 나타내었다.

고로슬래그는 콘크리트의 염소이온침투 저항성능 개선 목적으로 가장 널리 활용되는 혼화재이나, 해수에 노출된 고로슬래그 혼입 콘크리트의 장기거동 및 상변이에 대한 보고는 부족한 실정이다. 본 연구에서는 열역학 모델링을 통해 해수에 노출된 슬래그 시멘트의 장기 상변이를 모사하였다. 모델링 결과 슬래그 혼입은 해수에 노출되었을 때 상변이가 쉽게 일어나지 않는 안정적인 상을 생성시킬 것으로 예측되었다. 해수에 노출되었을 때 ettringite 생성으로 인해 포틀랜드 시멘트 및 슬래그 시멘트에서 모두 팽창이 일어날 것으로 예측되었으나, 슬래그 시멘트에서는 brucite가 덜 생기는 것을 확인하였다. 공극률은 슬래그 혼입 시멘트의 경우 더 높았으나, 염소 흡착능이 높은 알루미네이트 수화물이 슬래그 시멘트에서 더 활발히 생성되는 것을 확인하였다. 따라서 슬래그 혼입을 통해 해양 환경에서 사용되는 콘크리트의 내구성능을 크게 증진시킬 수 있는 것으로 나타났다.

From 2013 through 2015, we investigated the contamination status and antimicrobial resistance patterns of pathogenic Vibrio parahaemolyticus in commercially valuable seawater and shellfish (Oyster Crassostrea gigas, short-neck clam Venerupis philippinarum, ark shell Scapharca broughtonii and mussel Mytilus galloprovinciallis) from the southern coast of Korea. The detection rate of V. parahaemolyticus was highest in short-neck clams (23.7%), followed by ark shells (19.2%), oysters (15.9%), mussels (13.6%), and seawater (8.6%). The following percentages of PCR assays of shellfish were positive for the thermostable direct hemolysin-related hemolysin gene (trh) : oysters (12.8%), short-neck clams(11.8%), and ark shells (3.4%). Similar assays for the thermostable direct hemolysin gene (tdh) resulted in positive results for short-neck clams (5.9%) and ark shells (3.4%). Antimicrobial resistance was present in 100% of 8 tdh (+) and 2 trh (+) V. parahaemolyticus isolates challenged with ampicillin. However, all pathogenic V. parahaemolyticus were sensitive to 14 other antibiotics. To ensure the safety of shellfish consumption, the continuous monitoring of the prevalence and distribution of virulence factors of V. parahaemolyticus in shellfish farms is needed.
