Corrosion & Fouling Management

Corrosion & Fouling Management

OBJECTIVES

By the end of the course, participants will be able to:

• Understanding its Mechanism.
• Knowing how to reduce cost, by studying the corrosion economics.
• Knowing how to apply the suitable protective methods.
• Knowing how to test and monitor for corrosion, by selecting the proper corrosion test method.

WHO SHOULD ATTEND?

Anyone who needs to be able to recognize corrosion, understand its devastating potential, and how to properly manage it by knowing how to apply the proper protective method and the proper testing or monitoring technique especially as it relates to his area of responsibility. This includes, Engineers, Technicians, Managers, Supervisors, Salespersons, Inspector, Lab trainers and anyone needs a basic understanding of corrosion and cathodic protection.

No previous training in corrosion control is required. However, to gain the most from this course, a basic understanding of science and chemistry is recommended
