Industrial Corrosion: Monitoring, Inspection, Testing and Control
Introduction
Unlock the secrets to combating the costly impact of corrosion in the industry through the power of effective corrosion testing and monitoring. In the face of harsh operating conditions, environmental factors, and corrosive chemicals, industrial equipment, installations, and plants face relentless corrosion challenges. The consequences can be dire, ranging from structural failures and containment breaches to expensive repairs, product contamination, environmental harm, personnel risk, and damaged public confidence. Our dynamic and immersive training course immerses you in the world of corrosion prevention and monitoring, specifically tailored to the oil and gas exploration and production industry.
Designed for both industry veterans seeking a refresher and newcomers looking to establish a strong foundation, this meticulously crafted three-day program provides the knowledge, tools, and strategies to comprehend, analyze, and conquer corrosion-related monitoring and inspection issues. With an emphasis on practical solutions, participants will explore an array of crucial topics, including:
