Course Introduction
Corrosion is a pervasive and costly threat to industrial infrastructure, with significant implications for safety, asset longevity, environmental protection, and operational costs. Effective corrosion management requires more than routine inspection—it demands a comprehensive strategy combining risk assessment, material science, protection technologies, and predictive maintenance.
This advanced 5-day course is designed for engineers and asset managers seeking to upgrade their corrosion management capabilities. Covering both fundamental mechanisms and sophisticated mitigation techniques, the course integrates international best practices, asset integrity frameworks, and real-world case studies from sectors such as oil & gas, petrochemicals, power, and water utilities.
Course Objectives
By the end of this course, participants will be able to:
• Identify corrosion mechanisms across different materials and environments
• Assess corrosion risks using qualitative and quantitative tools
• Design and implement corrosion control systems (coatings, CP, inhibitors)
• Interpret inspection data and manage predictive corrosion monitoring programs
• Integrate corrosion management into asset integrity and lifecycle planning
Key Benefits of Attending
• Reduce unplanned failures and maintenance costs through proactive management
• Protect personnel, the environment, and corporate reputation from corrosion risks
• Extend asset life and improve plant availability and performance
• Meet industry standards and regulatory requirements for corrosion control
