COURSE OUTLINE

MODULE 1 - Corrosion Fundamentals: “Understanding the threat”

Gain a better understanding of the threats and impacts that different corrosion and cracking mechanisms may have to your equipment and piping. This module lays the foundation for the next modules.

LEARNING OUTCOME:
Review typical direct and indirect corrosion costs. See examples of the most common corrosion and cracking mechanisms that affect upstream and midstream oil and gas facilities.

MODULE 2 - Corrosion Control in my Plant: “How do I mitigate the threat?”

This module will explain the relative material performance for common metals and alloys used in upstream/midstream facilities. Non-metallic solutions and protective coatings will also be discussed. Finally, corrosion control using corrosion inhibitors will be explained.

LEARNING OUTCOME:
Learn how different materials (metals and non-metals), coatings and corrosion inhibitors can control various corrosion problems in upstream/midstream facilities.

MODULE 3 - Corrosion Inspection & Monitoring: “How do I know whether my control methods are working?”

This module will discuss various inspection technologies that are commonly used to detect corrosion in vessels and piping. Onstream corrosion monitoring techniques will also be discussed.

LEARNING OUTCOME:
Gain clarity on where to use particular inspection or monitoring techniques when measuring wall thickness of vessels or piping systems; ultimately preventing loss of containment.

MODULE 4 - Corrosion Control Manual – “Developing a proactive corrosion management program”

Discover why a corrosion control manual is the most important “tool” for a corrosion engineer or inspector to have in maintaining a facility’s assets.

LEARNING OUTCOME:
The ingredients of a proactive corrosion management program will be explained. A typical corrosion control manual will be used to demonstrate how to get the most benefit from a corrosion manual.
