Rohrback Cosasco Systems now offers both a retractable and retrievable bio-probe for monitoring microbiologically influenced corrosion (MIC). Bacteria may be present in a system as either sessile (attached to the metal surface), or planktonic (present in the process fluid). There can be considerable differences between the types of bacteria present in either of these two forms. From a corrosion perspective, the sessile bacteria are the ones that are of primary importance since these are the ones that affect the corrosion, and the ones that must be controlled with chemical treatment. For this reason fluid samples for testing of bacteria only test for planktonic.

Various industries can benefit from the use of Cosasco Bio-probes in the detection and prevention of microbial or biological induced corrosion. Bio-probes can be used in either high or low pressure systems without the need for plant shutdown in chemical processing plants, onshore and offshore gas producing facilities, nuclear power plants, underground pipelines, water treatment plants, sewage handling and treatment plants, and any other industrial systems have positively identified MIC.
