Corrosion Engineering: Monitoring, Prevention and Control Course
Introduction:
The whole science of corrosion, engineering, and control is unfortunately often ignored, sometimes with disastrous consequences. Many engineers now actively engaged in corrosion-related problem solving have little training in corrosion due to lack of availability or interest during their formal education.
It is of paramount importance therefore that the Oil and Gas industry provides a constant supply of its products to users at a competitive price whilst managing the impact on the environment and complying with stringent safety targets. Corrosion can seriously affect the industry's ability to deliver this and the need to control corrosion is intensified by the high risk factors involved with ensuring that materials do not fail uncontrollably in aggressive operating environments.
Course Objectives:
The conference will be cover latest research and development in corrosion prevention, advanced process control and methods in metallurgy and production of non-corroded alloys and pipes particularly in oil and gas industry.
The conference is introduced in course sessions with two experts exchanging and sharing their knowledge and skills with participants who will cover the following topics:
- Flow accelerated corrosion
- Erosion-corrosion
- CO2 corrosion
- Electrochemical reactions of particular interest in corrosion
- Water chemistry and corrosion
