Basic Corrosion Control & Prevention Methods
Course Description
This basic corrosion course covers fundamental aspects of corrosion control and its prevention. The course will enable beginners to establish a solid foundation in corrosion before moving on to advanced topics. The course will help participants understand the basic concepts and fundamentals important to corrosion. This basic corrosion course also helps participants prepare for their NACE certification examinations at the Corrosion Technician, Corrosion Technologist and Senior Corrosion Technologist levels. It provides an excellent avenue for corrosion practitioners, 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.

By the end of this course delegates will be able to:

  • Basics of Electrochemistry
  • Types of Environments
  • Engineering Materials
  • Forms of Corrosion
  • Corrosion Control & Prevention Methods
  • Testing & Monitoring Techniques

Corrosion Control Engineers & Personnel, Process Engineers, Metallurgists, Inspection Personnel, Mechanical Engineers, Material Selection Personnel, Plant Contractors, Operations Engineers, Team Leaders & Supervisors, Maintenance Supervisors,  Senior Plant Supervisors, Mechanical Engineers, Corrosion Control & Monitoring Systems Personnel, Oil and Gas Production Facilities Personnel, Chemists, Chemical Engineers, Technicians and Supervisors, New Petroleum Engineers, Asset Management Personnel, Design & Construction Engineers, Team Leaders & Coordinators, Construction Coordinators, Maintenance Engineers, Technologists,  Maintenance Team Leaders & Engineers, Personnel who are / will be responsible for detecting, inspecting, monitoring, controlling corrosion in oil and gas piping, pipelines used in production operations and Personnel responsible for metallurgy, corrosion or the prevention of failures in plant and equipment.
