Translational Corrosion Science, the subject of the SSPC 2015 presentation by the Department of Defense Corrosion (DoD) Prevention and Control Program, is a science-based process to accelerate the development and application of high-quality solutions to difficult material degradation problems, and to do so more economically. DoD has launched the translational corrosion science program, assisted by the National Defense University and Potomac Institute for Policy Studies, to fully develop the process concept and to implement the approach.

Microbiologically Influenced Corrosion (MIC) is a major concern in process industries, particularly in the Oil and Gas sector. It is estimated that 25-30% of corrosion related failures in pipelines and industrial equipment can be attributed to MIC. The cost of metallic corrosion has been estimated to range between 2-3% of the gross domestic product (GDP) in developed countries and MIC certainly accounts for a significant fraction of the total cost of corrosion amounting to billions of dollars due to unexpected shutdowns, equipment replacement, mitigation strategies, etc.
Sulfate-reducing bacteria (SRB) constitute a specialized group of phylogenetically diverse anaerobes that are responsible for the dissimilatory reduction of sulfate to sulfide. They are present in a variety of environments, including oil- and gas-bearing formations, soils, and domestic, industrial, and mining wastewaters (1,2). SRB are a major concern in the oil and gas industry with significant economic and safety implication.
Microbiologically influenced corrosion (MIC) is a key risk to oil and gas infrastructure and confers great cost to asset owners. The AMPP 2021 IMPACT Canada study, which analyzed the energy, manufacturing, and mining sectors, shows the cost of corrosion in Canada is roughly $51.9 billion per year. To break this down further, MIC is estimated to make up roughly 20% of all corrosion which is roughly $10.4 billion in Canada alone, each year.
