Sulfide-induced corrosion of sewer infrastructure costs multi-billion dollars globally. Sewer maintenance and management largely depends on the estimation of the sewer corrosion rate, which currently can be very rough due to poor understanding of details of the process. Hence improved understanding of the corrosion processes has a major beneficial impact globally through increased service life and reduced repair/replacement costs. The overall aim of this V Publications during candidature Peer
