Course Description

Corrosion and Fouling Management

Course Overview

This course provides a fundamental understanding of the science of corrosion, the causes of corrosion and fouling, and techniques to solve corrosion and fouling problems encountered in refineries. Working as a team, participants will solve a corrosion issue using effective problem-solving techniques. Students are encouraged to bring examples of corrosion problems they’ve encountered on the job and the material will be addressed as time permits.

The course manual serves as both a course guide and reference material. It contains “rules of thumb” that can be immediately put into practice when participants return to their jobs.

Introductory college chemistry is desirable but not mandatory. Some familiarity with a variety of refinery units is highly desirable.

This course is not scheduled, please contact us at here for more information.

Who Should Attend

The course is particularly beneficial to both new and experienced refinery personnel who are involved in the identification, diagnosis, and treatment of corrosion and fouling problems – including inspectors and corrosion professionals.

The Course Duration is (in Days): 5.0
