The objective of this course is to equip engineers and managers with the necessary knowledge and tools to address corrosion challenges through effective corrosion control and materials selection procedures. It is not essential to possess an extensive understanding of corrosion to effectively mitigate approximately 80% of corrosion-related issues in industrial environments.

Upon successfully completing this course, participants will gain a comprehensive and high-quality understanding of various corrosion monitoring methods. The course provides a detailed examination of the advantages and limitations associated with each method. Additionally, participants will learn how to analyze raw data and convert it into valuable information for decision-making purposes.

Course Objectives:

Upon the successful completion of this course, participants will be able to:-

· Know the characteristics of external and internal corrosion in industrial areas.

· Recognize the different corrosion techniques by identifying the various forms of corrosions

· Determine the several designs and material selection related to corrosion control

· Distinguish the key aspects of atmospheric corrosion and its prevention by coatings

· Learn the components of corrosion, coating and lining of hydrocarbon storage tanks

· Describe the elements of buried and underwater corrosion and its prevention by coating and cathodic protection

· Apply the procedures of cathodic protection of buried and above-ground storage tanks

· Understand the attributes of corrosion of reinforced concrete and its prevention using additives, coatings and cathodic protection

· Identify the effects of corrosion in process pipelines and its prevention using inhibitors and biocides

· Employ the various methods of measurement of corrosion

· Characterize the advanced method of corrosion monitoring

Who Should Attend?

Inspection and corrosion engineers will appreciate the frank discussion of the competing methods available in this course. Senior engineers and managers will gain by developing their interpretive skills in data analysis. Further, this course is ideal for all engineers and technical staff whose responsibilities include the reduction of corrosion either at the design stage or during the operation of the facility. Managers, in particular, will benefit by increasing their awareness of the options available to them.
