Protection from Corrosion
Pipes can be protected from corrosion by following the procedures given
By increasing the pH to 9.5 pipelines can be protected against the action of sulphate reducing microbes.
Buried pipes can be coated to prevent contact between metal surface, water and soil microbes.
Electric currents can be applied to the pipe to preclude corrosion processes.

Various bacterial inhibitors can be employed to control microbial corrosion. For example, alkyl substituted amine and quaternary ammonium compounds are toxic to microbes. Various bacterial inhibitors can be employed to control microbial corrosion. For instance, alkyl substituted amine and quaternary ammonium compounds are toxic to many bacteria like Desulfovibrio sp., a bacterium of major importance in the corrosion process.
