Why I am Starting the BIOCORIX Blog

I founded BIOCORIX to help address industrial biofilm-related problems, with a special focus on microbiologically influenced corrosion, or MIC.

MIC is a complex phenomenon that sits between several disciplines. It involves microbiology, corrosion science, materials, water chemistry, engineering, operation, and maintenance. Because of this complexity, it is often misunderstood, underestimated, or investigated only after damage has already occurred.

With this blog, I would like to make scientific and technical knowledge more accessible to people who deal with these problems in real systems: engineers, operators, facility managers, consultants, asset owners, and decision-makers.

The goal is not to oversimplify science, but to translate it into practical and useful insights.

In the coming posts, I will write about biofilms, corrosion, diagnostics, sampling, monitoring, mitigation strategies, and the small technical details that can make a major difference in system reliability.

The first article focuses on fire sprinkler systems, safety-critical installations where corrosion is not only a maintenance issue, but may also affect system reliability when it matters most.
