Course Description
Corrosion is not a maintenance problem. It is a design decision made years earlier, expressed slowly, and paid for at the worst possible time — and the difference between an asset that reaches design life and one that fails early is usually a materials choice nobody revisited.
This course develops corrosion management capability. Participants learn corrosion mechanisms and their drivers, environmental factors in oil, gas, water and process service, materials selection against service conditions, corrosion allowance and life prediction, protective coatings and linings, cathodic protection, corrosion inhibition and chemical treatment, monitoring and inspection for corrosion, and the corrosion management system through which it is all held together.
What you will achieve
By the end of this training course, participants will be able to:
- Explain corrosion mechanisms and their driving factors
- Assess environmental factors in oil, gas, water and process service
- Select materials against service conditions
- Apply corrosion allowance and predict remaining life
- Specify protective coatings and linings
- Apply cathodic protection principles
- Design corrosion inhibition and chemical treatment programmes
- Build a corrosion management system with monitoring and inspection
How the course is delivered
The course combines corrosion science with materials selection and management exercises using realistic service environments from oil, gas, water and process operations.
The programme connects mechanism understanding to the decisions that actually control corrosion cost: materials selection, protection strategy, chemical treatment and monitoring.
