Microbiologically Influenced Corrosion (MIC)

The article titled "Microbiologically Induced Corrosion in Wing Fuel Tanks" appeared in the April 2020 issue of The Gulfstream Journal and details how MIC has the ability to progress quickly leading to expensive wing repairs. If left unchecked Microbiologically Induced Corrosion can cause damage such as pitting on hi-locks and the wing structure. Gulfstream states that routine microbial contamination testing and consistent draining of the aircraft fuel tanks is key to maintaining a healthy fuel system. SEAL Aviation can perform an inspection of your fuel tanks to determine if your Gulfstream is experiencing the presence of corrosion due to Microbiologically Induced Corrosion. SEAL Aviation can also help you test for microbial contamination to ensure your fuel system remains healthy.
