World-leading MIC expertise at your fingertips.
Our world-class BioTECHT services are delivered by a team with global reach and experience coupled with local insight and deep expertise.
Grounded in value creation, quality and responsiveness, to bring unique insights to each of our partners.
Gain clarity and confidence by accessing a world-class support framework for cost-effective MIC management of your assets.
We are proactive and passionate professionals, committed to providing ongoing support, input, training, and resources to our clients to ensure the success, appropriateness and cost-effectiveness of implemented MIC management strategy and plans.
The BioTECHT division at TECHT works with its clients through a number of the following specialised services.
Expertise in the development of fit-for-purpose MIC management and monitoring solutions to address MIC risks in different assets and support timely, informed maintenance decisions.
Independent third-party review of MIC management strategy, plans, procedures and practices. Unbiased, independent performance check.
Knowing your system and what conditions support microbial life is the first step in understanding the overall health of your asset, as well as the source of potential problems and the overall Microbiologically Influenced Corrosion (MIC) risk. Our MIC site survey and assessment is an unbiased, independent, and robust assessment of MIC risk.
This service includes biotesting to reveal the microbial makeup of your assets via analysis of surface, solid samples, water samples, combining insights from traditional and molecular methods.
Equipment design features, microbiological data, mitigation treatments, historical data, and environmental and operational parameters are assessed to generate a system MIC risk categorisation and deliver holistic and practical management and monitoring plans.
The aim is to identify MIC threats and related operational practices, quantify the risk to the operation, advise best practices, develop tailored monitoring, and remedial options in a prioritized report with estimated costs and budgeting guidance.
At TECHT, we understand that all assets are different, and therefore, we seek to create tailored, cost-effective monitoring programs that deliver meaningful data and practical solutions.
Our services include:
Biofilms are recognised as a global issue impacting health, food, water, marine and industrial sectors. Biofilm formation is the critical step in Microbiologically Influenced Corrosion (MIC).
At TECHT we are specialists in biofilms. We offer the following services:
Education raises awareness. Trained operators are more likely to prevent and manage Microbiologically Influenced Corrosion (MIC) risk effectively.
We offer tailored in-house, and hands-on training to asset owners to be able to better understand and manage Microbiologically Influenced Corrosion (MIC).
Trainees are introduced to fundamental aspects of Microbiologically Influenced Corrosion (MIC) on different materials and in different environments. Our training allows trainees to select the best monitoring and mitigation programs to protect their assets.
Most importantly, the programs are tailored to the specific needs of the asset owner with relevant case studies and practical examples to gain clarity and confidence in managing Microbiologically Influenced Corrosion (MIC) threats.
We provide our services to some of the worlds largest industries.
TECHT is undergoing ISO9001 accreditation and is proudly associated with the following industry bodies
Laboratory testing work has assisted us by simulating process conditions to allow data driven decisions on material selection. Really enjoyed working with the BioTECHT team.
“TECHT was able to assist site personnel to ensure the job got done when undertaking planned maintenance inspections. Service that is over and above.”
“Structural integrity items encompass structural steel and concrete structures that are designed to last for the life of the operation. When the life of mine is extended, action needs to be taken. TECHT engineers assisted in setting up the Structural Integrity Reliability Program at our plant to ensure our structures are fit for purpose for the extended life.”
“TECHT engineers undertook a range of inspections that satisfy our statutory internal and external asset inspection requirements, to a high standard.”
“TECHT undertook a corrosivity assessment of our site and developed a corrosion mitigation plan strategy based on the findings. The report allowed us to downgrade material specifications with confidence, saving the project hundreds of thousands.”
TECHT acknowledges the Traditional Custodians across Australia and their continuing connection to the land, and community. We pay our respects to all members of the Aboriginal communities and their cultures; and to Elders past, present and emerging.
