Corrosion Monitoring, Prevention & Control

Introduction

The corrosion process is a wonderfully elegant example of nature at work. Of all industrial problems confronted by the engineers, only a few can be economically more important than the prevention of corrosion. Various industries experience significant issues with corrosion that collectively results in billions of dollars of loss each year. Corrosion monitoring, prevention and control is essential to increase the productivity and efficiency of any plant.

This Proclad Academy training course is structured to cover fundamental aspects of corrosion monitoring, prevention and control. Attendance to this training course will enable participants to establish a solid foundation in corrosion control. Exercises, hands-on practical sessions and virtual experiments throughout the course will help participants understand the concepts important to corrosion monitoring, prevention and control.

The key features of Proclad Academy’s Corrosion Monitoring, Prevention & Control training course are:

• Impact of corrosion: economic, environmental and safety
• Commonly-encountered corrosive environments
• Various forms of corrosion
• Corrosion inspection and monitoring
• Corrosion control and prevention

Learning Objectives

Participants on Proclad Academy’s Corrosion Monitoring, Prevention & Control training course will be able to:

 

• Define corrosion and recognize the economic, environmental and safety impact of corrosion
• Recognize terms and definitions of basic electrochemistry, as well as define the processes and concepts of electrochemistry, oxidation and reduction reactions, thermodynamics, kinetics, and passivity
• Identify the characteristics of commonly-encountered corrosive environments such as atmospheric, water and other electrolytes, soil and high temperature environments
• Distinguish between engineering materials such as metals, non-metals, composites, concrete and ceramics and their relationship to corrosion control
• Discuss the various forms of corrosion, how to recognize each form, materials subject to each form, environments that promote each form and how to control each form
• Explain how corrosion can be controlled during the design process through construction, as well as process parameters, drainage, dissimilar metals, crevices, and corrosion allowance
• Give examples as to how and when to use the control corrosion methods of design, material selection, modification of environment, protective coatings, and cathodic and anodic protection
• Differentiate between inspection and monitoring and identify the common testing techniques for each

Target Audience

This Proclad Academy training course provides an excellent avenue for corrosion practioners, designers, technical managers, inspection and maintenance engineers, quality control personnel and those involved in failure analysis to update their appreciation of corrosion and the awareness of the emerging technologies for corrosion control and prevention.
