Microbiologically influenced corrosion is a cause of degradation of piping and heat transfer surfaces in shipboard systems. Monitoring biofilm activity on line provides the information needed to initiate mitigation activities, such as cleaning and water treatment, well before the structural integrity of piping or components is jeopardized. Results from an electrochemical biofilm probe, exposed to biologically active seawater are presented.
