In industrial and transportation pipelines, the presence of biofilms may cause localized damage (pitting), leading to leakages and reduction of flow area due to the formation of biomass. API grade steels pipes are the materials commonly used in industrial and transportation pipelines and may be affected by this type of phenomenon. The microbiologically influenced corrosion (MIC) occurs due to interactions between the microbial groups present in the biofilm, the release of metabolites and their relation with the metal surface. The present work study of the behavior of API pipe steels degrees B, X-65 and X-80 in synthetic sea water containing mixed culture of bacteria (SRB, APB, IOB) carried out on a dynamic system and compared to medium without added microorganisms. Chemical analysis of the process fluid and quantification of microbial planktonic and sessile bacteria performed showed the relation between bacterial groups within biofilms and their kinetics over time. Scanning electron microscopy and energy dispersive spectroscopy was applied for visualization of biofilms and their corrosion products. The extent, severity and morphology of corrosion of API pipe steels were assessed by optical microscopy, being possible to relate the effect of the consortium of microorganisms on the corrosion process. Also the influence of microstructure of different steels in preferential nucleation sites for pitting were evaluated.
