ICorr Certified MIC Technologist Training Course
2025-05-19 09:00 - 2025-05-23 17:00, 2025-10-13 08:00 - 2025-10-17 17:00 (Europe/London)
The Certified Microbiologically Influenced Corrosion (MIC) training course is available twice in 2025 by the Institute of Corrosion (ICorr) to meet the increasing demand from industry.
MIC is the least understood phenomenon of corrosion despite it was confirmed as the prime cause of a number of high-profile failures around the world with devastating effect on health, safety, reliability and finance of operations, company reputation and the environment. Around 20% of all corrosion failures are primarily due to the metabolic activities of microorganisms in industrial systems, with an estimated annual cost of UDS 2.5 billion to the oil and gas industry.

Abstract:
AI is influencing corrosion management faster than ever. Like in this case of Digital Paint Report (DPR) is a cloud based, AI driven tool designed to assist shipowners and operators in remotely monitoring coating and corrosion conditions aboard their vessels.
Steelcorr innovated by creating this “Digital Paint Report (DPR)© app, an AI-powered Corrosion and Hull Fouling Monitoring solution”, that is used by 500+ Ships globally. Leveraging machine learning algorithms, the app analyses uploaded images to detect areas of coating breakdown, grade corrosion severity, and track trends over time. It presents an intuitive dashboard with actionable insights, enabling more timely, consistent maintenance planning and reducing reliance on labour-intensive visual surveys. Already deployed on hundreds of vessels, the DPR app has demonstrated how intelligent imaging and remote data processing can significantly streamline hull maintenance workflows.
