The bio-film developing on carbon steel surfaces in anaerobic condition may induce localised corrosion. To be able to better understand this type of bio-corrosion, this piper presents a new electrochemical technique, which has been developed in collaboration between IFREMER and the Laboratory for liquid physic and electrochemistry. Focussed on local aspect of this phenomenon, the described technique enables surface torrent density mapping to be performed and anodic or cathodic zones to be identified. A double micro-electrode probe is placed closed to the steel simple surface and potential difference between them is measured. This value is directly connected to ohmic drop within electrolyte and consequently, to local torrent. By scanning the substrate surface, local torrent repartition is visualized and one tan detect and characterise Localised corrosion attacks. After presenting the technique and the calibration procedure, a bio-corrosion phenomenon induced by stripping a bio-film at a carbon steel simple surface is analysed by successively drawing localised torrent maps, included biocide efficiency assessment.

Les Mills Body Attack 79 Torrent
Soil erosion, in addition to causing on-site loss of topsoil and reducing the productivity of the land, brings about major off-site environmental effects such as water body pollution and eutrophication. In the Mediterranean area, this fact is especially relevant where precipitation is characterized by scarcity, torrent storms and extreme variability in space and time. To study the effects of soil erosion runoff potential pollution we installed six erosion plots on the taluses of orchard terraces where an intensive irrigated agriculture based on subtropical crops has been established.
