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 & Fouling. It covers the basic concepts and importance of corrosion and fouling in refinery maintenance; the types of corrosion like chemical, galvanic, pitting, crevice and intergranular corrosion; the common refinery corrosion problems; the types of fouling like biological, chemical, physical and their characteristics; the effects of corrosion and fouling on equipment performance; the safety risks and environmental impact of unchecked corrosion and fouling; the mechanisms of corrosion including the electrochemical processes and environmental factors affecting corrosion rates; and the fouling mechanisms, how fouling occurs and the factors that accelerate fouling in refineries. 

 

During this interactive course, participants will learn the corrosion and material selection; monitoring corrosion and fouling; the control strategies for corrosion and fouling; evaluating benefits and liabilities of control strategies; the design considerations to mitigate corrosion and fouling; managing less common corrosion and fouling problems; the innovative technologies in corrosion and fouling control; integrating corrosion management into reliability-focused maintenance practices; and the predictive maintenance for corrosion control.
