On 28th January 2025 at the annual Joint ICorr EI Event in Aberdeen, Dr Carol Devine announced her retirement from the Corrosion World as an MIC Specialist with NCIMB Aberdeen.
Carol has a BSc in Microbiology from the University of Aberdeen and a PhD in Subsurface Molecular Microbial Ecology, also from Aberdeen, with a special interest in sulphate-reducing bacteria (SRB) and microbiologically influenced corrosion (MIC) and in the contamination of gas oil storage and distribution systems.
She worked for many well-known Corrosion and Integrity companies operating in the Energy Sector, including: Commercial Microbiology, Intertek, NECE, ICR and most recently NCIMB.
Carol has been a regular ICorr Presenter and a huge long-time supporter of the Aberdeen Branch who has contributed enthusiastically to numerous Aberdeen Corrosion Forum Events on the topic of MIC management, held in August of each year.
Her company NCIMB have also twice hosted the Aberdeen Branch Industrial Visit.
On behalf of the Aberdeen Committee and ICorr nationally, we wish her every success with her future plans and good health in the years ahead.
