• MIC is a significant cause of internal corrosion in above and underground tanks
• Water and sludge collecting in the bottom of the tank is a perfect environment for bacteria growth
• Corrosion will typically be in the bottom low point of the tank
• There are several types of
bacteria that cause MIC
• Has a unique corrosion

• Limitations as written:• API 653 allows a wide range of
options that if not owner defined can result in significant differences in proposals and inspections
• API 653 focuses on the tank and foundation to the first flange. It does not include information on other appurtenances, electrical or piping systems
