It is generally recommended to keep water flow velocity more than 1.5 m/s, pH above 10–11 and temperature well above 90 °C to lower the risk of MIC. Reader should understand that beyond these seemingly rigid rules and regulations, there are huge uncertainties, making them be understood as a whole not as isolated items. For example, you may try to keep water flowing and still the probability of getting no MIC may not be nil.

Kurissery et al. (see footnote 19) quote from two references (see footnotes 23 and 24 in their papers) to explain how grain boundary energy content can affect bacterial attachment. In their reasoning, as bacteria are themselves negatively charged, “chances are more for the cells to be attracted towards the grain boundaries with a high energy level and elemental segregation”.
