Biologische Korrosion an Stauanlagen, F&E-Projekt am Bayerischen LfU

Worldwide, the rapid corrosion type MIC (microbial induced corrosion) and invasive fungal growth are reducing the service life of structures and jeopardizing operational safety. The Bavarian Environment Agency (LfU) in cooperation with the Friedrich-Alexander-University Erlangen-Nuremberg (FAU) is currently working on a pilot study to determine the extent of the problem and to develop defense strategies. First results are presented in this paper.
