Microbiologically influenced corrosion (MIC) is a kind of electrochemical corrosion that is enhanced by the effect of certain microorganisms including sessile bacteria. In this investigation, more than 200 samples collected from different systems of Iranian refineries have been examined (by culturing methods and observations) for corrosion-enhancing, biofilm-producing microorganisms such as sulfate-reducing bacteria (SRB), iron-oxidizing bacteria (IOB), heterotrophic biofilm-forming bacteria (HBB), and some eukaryotes such as fungi. This study showed the presence of microorganisms, such as SRB, HBB, thermophillic HBB, and yeasts, except for IOB. It was also revealed that biocides are used to reduce the number of planktonic (floating) bacteria, instead of the number of sessile bacteria, that form biofilms. Using surfactants, or washing with chemicals like chlorine or organic acids in overhauls, may destroy the biofilm and free the residential bacteria into the bulk solution, thus exposing them to the biocide. For thick biofilms, a chlorine or acid wash may also yield the same results.
