COURSE OVERVIEW

This practical and highly-interactive course includes various practical sessions and exercises. Theory learnt will be applied using our state-of-the-art simulators.

This course is designed to provide participants with a detailed and up-to-date overview of Corrosion Specialist: Corrosion Monitoring and Inhibition Techniques. It covers the corrosion principles and corrosion mechanisms and types; the material behavior and corrosive environment; the factors affecting corrosion rate and corrosion of metals and alloys; the corrosion damage assessment, failure analysis and visual inspection techniques; the weight loss coupons and electrical resistance (ER) probes; the linear polarization resistance (LPR) monitoring, ultrasonic thickness measurement and corrosion mapping techniques; the principles of corrosion inhibition and film-forming inhibitors; and the vapor phase inhibitors (VPI) and cathodic inhibitors.

During this interactive course, participants will learn the inhibitor testing and evaluation, laboratory test methods, performance criteria and environmental considerations; the safe handling and storage of inhibitor, chemical handling standards, PPE requirements, storage conditions and spill response; the cathodic protection (CP), galvanic (sacrificial) anode systems and impressed current CP systems; the CP monitoring and maintenance, CP applications in industry and integration of CP with corrosion monitoring; the corrosion risk assessment (CRA), corrosion management strategies, monitoring program design and integrity management systems (IMS); the emerging technologies in corrosion control; and the remote monitoring systems, smart sensors and IoT applications and predictive analytics.
