Redox potential (Eh), also known as oxidation-reduction potential, is a measure of the tendency of a chemical species to acquire electrons and be reduced. In the context of microbiologically influenced corrosion (MIC) in oil pipelines, Eh significantly influences the activity and types of microorganisms that can thrive and contribute to corrosion. A lower (more negative) Eh indicates a reducing environment, while a higher (more positive) Eh indicates an oxidizing environment. MIC is often associated with anaerobic (oxygen-free) conditions, which typically have....
