Cathodic Protection of Pipe Lines Against Some Microbial Corrosion

The book "Cathodic Protection of Pipe Lines Against Some Microbial Corrosion" by Marwa Adnan provides a comprehensive investigation into the microbial corrosion of carbon steel pipes. The study was conducted at the University of Tikrit in the Department of Biology and spans a period of nine months. It analyzes the effects of different soil types on the corrosion rate of underground pipes, with soil samples taken from three different regions. The results show that the corrosion rate significantly depends on the soil composition and that the use of cathodic protection is an effective method for reducing corrosion. The research highlights the role of iron-oxidizing bacteria that contribute to corrosion and offers valuable insights for the industry to extend the lifespan of pipelines and minimize corrosion damage.
