Microbiologically influenced corrosion: A review focused on hydrotest fluids in subsea pipelines

The selection of an appropriate seawater treatment for preservation of subsea pipelines during hydrotesting and subsequent wet lay-up poses a significant dilemma for offshore engineers. Seawater, which is routinely used in the hydrotesting of offshore pipelines, contains oxygen and microorganisms wh...
