MIC & Marine Corrosion: Industry Training Course

MIC & Marine Corrosion: Industry Training Course

The Carlow Training School is designed as an intensive two-day technical workshop focusing on Microbiologically Influenced Corrosion (MIC) and related corrosion management strategies. This program brings together leading experts to provide participants with both theoretical foundations and practical insights into corrosion processes, assessment methods, and integration of microbiological data for informed decision-making.

The training will cover:

  • Fundamentals of MIC and corrosion of metals
  • Corrosion management practices and standards
  • Case studies from industrial and marine environments
  • Sampling theory and data interpretation
  • Advanced integration of microbiological evidence with engineering approaches

By combining lectures, interactive workshops, and real-world case discussions, the program aims to strengthen technical competencies in corrosion control and microbial analysis. This initiative supports knowledge transfer between academia and industry, fostering innovation and best practices in infrastructure. 

The technical topics for the two-day program:

Day 1 (Thursday):

  • What is MIC? (Microbiologically Influenced Corrosion)
  • Introduction to corrosion of metals
  • Corrosion management and MIC assessment
  • Standards workshop

Day 2 (Friday):

  • Case studies: corrosion management and marine corrosion
  • Theory of sampling (short version)
  • Integration of microbiological data with other lines of evidence
  • Wrap-up and evaluation (including quiz and certificate)

 

Benefits for the participants of the training course:

  • Comprehensive course materials – printed version for easy reference
  • The latest CRC Press book on Microbiologically Influenced Corrosion (MIC) – included as part of your learning resources
  • Engaging lectures and interactive sessions covering MIC fundamentals and practical applications
  • Hands-on case studies and real-world examples to deepen your understanding
  • Access to digital resources and supplementary reading materials for continued learning
  • Refreshments during breaks on both days
  • Two full lunches during the program
  • Networking BBQ dinner one evening
