Microbiological contamination can cause equipment to breakdown, corrode or to malfunction. It can also cause the spoilage of bulk products and can be responsible for health hazards.
We have experience advising on:
The spoilage of foodstuffs, both raw materials and finished products
Contamination of fuel oils and other hydrocarbon liquids
Public health hazards, such as Legionnaire’s disease
Fouling and breakdown of production machinery and process lines
Losses due to microbiologically influenced corrosion (MIC)
Cleanroom contamination
Self-heating of bulk cargo including corn, soybeans and their products
We can undertake site visits to:
Examine incidents at factories and on cargo ships
Determine the cause of microbiological contamination
Investigate the effects of microbiological contamination or degradation
Collect samples, which can be examined by our analytical chemists or in specialist laboratories
