From: Analysis and ranking of corrosion causes for water pipelines: a critical review
Ref. | Publication year | Research focus |
|---|---|---|
Spark et al.12 | 2020 | This review concentrated on soil factors causing MIC in buried potable water pipelines, which include soil chemistry, soil characteristics, bacteria, and biochemical mechanisms. |
Wasim et al.17 | 2018 | This review focused on soil factors affecting the corrosion of metallic pipelines such as soil resistivity, pH and moisture level, temperature, differential aeration, particle size, presence of bacteria and soil type. |
Lee and Schwab18 | 2005 | This review discussed factors contributing to drinking water distribution system deficiencies in developing nations, which are pipeline corrosion, inadequate disinfection residual, low water pressure, sporadic service, excessive leaks, unequal water pricing, and inequitable water usage. |
Imran et al.19 | 2006 | This review focused on the effect of blending water sources on the water quality in water distribution systems. Also, it discusses how to optimize source water blends to avoid corrosion. |
Emerson and De Vet20 | 2015 | This review discussed Iron-oxidizing bacteria, which can cause corrosion in water distribution pipelines. |
Bachmann and Edyvean21 | 2005 | This review focused on the causes, consequences, and control of Biofouling in drinking water systems to avoid corrosion. |
McDougall et al.22 | 2001 | This review discussed recent advances in understanding the role of biofilms (microorganisms) on copper corrosion in potable water systems. |
Percival23 | 1998 | This review focused on the formation and control of long-term and short-term microbial biofilms on pipe walls, which cause serious problems in potable water systems, such as corrosion and bacterial growth. |
