| Abstract | Internal microbiologically influenced corrosion (IMIC) is recognized as one of the primary reasons causing failures of natural gas pipelines. In this work, a critical review was performed to analyze the uniqueness of pipeline IMIC, including the corrosive environment, biofilm formation, mechanism, novel research methods, and scientific gaps to be filled in the further research activities. The IMIC of gas pipelines occurs in corrosive environments where a thin layer of water condensate presents on the internal surface of pipe wall. Corrosion occurs upon dissolution of gases such as CO2 and H2S. A biofilm generates to isolate the environment underneath the film from fluid flow to support microorganism population. Due to a limited volume of aqueous solution, the biofilm is mixed with corrosion products to affect the further IMIC. Challenges exist to measure and characterize the bacterial activity under the biofilm, and the localized nature of IMIC. The electron transfer process during IMIC has remained unclear, lacking convincing evidence to support proposed mechanisms. Novel research techniques are suggested investigating IMIC to develop mechanistic understanding for effective management of the problem. |
