An intensive professional development training course on
Corrosion Control
in Gas, Oil & Water
Mitigating and Controlling Corrosion
Damage Mechanisms in Oil, Gas and Water
Why Choose this Training Course?
The "Corrosion Control in Gas, Oil & Water" training course offers in-depth knowledge of corrosion phenomena and focuses on identifying and addressing metallurgical issues in process units. Participants will learn about effective monitoring techniques and strategies for reducing corrosion-related damage.
In industries like petrochemicals and water, equipment costs are a significant investment. For long-distance, large-diameter pipelines, the need for corrosion-resistant alloys can lead to prohibitively high expenses if the corrosivity of the fluid is not properly managed. By enhancing the understanding and control of corrosion in carbon steel, its application range can be expanded, leading to substantial economic benefits.
Corrosion control is crucial in Oil & Gas operations. This course emphasizes applying engineering principles and procedures to manage corrosion economically. While it is often impractical to eliminate corrosion entirely, various methods can be employed to mitigate its effects.
Participants will also learn about corrosion monitoring, which provides early warnings of damaging process conditions that could lead to failures. The course will cover how changes in process parameters impact system corrosion, and the importance of monitoring for evaluating pipeline service life and planning for replacements or shutdowns.
