COURSE OVERVIEW

Corrosion is still a major integrity threat for many industries. The traditional method of corrosion control had been based on the corrosion engineering concept. However, in the early 2000s it was revealed in the UK’s Offshore Industry that corrosion engineering by itself could not efficiently mitigate corrosion, and some other parameters or factors were also required for comprehensive and efficient corrosion mitigation.
Thus, a modern method of asset integrity management based on the corrosion management (CM) concept was born. The corrosion management approach offers more options both during the failure investigation and rectification phases; compared with the traditional corrosion engineering approach. Therefore, appreciating what exactly the corrosion management concept is and how it is implemented are of paramount importance.
Consequently, attending a genuine corrosion management training course is crucial for the relevant personnel and their management.

INSTRUCTOR

Petro Teach Instructor

Instructor holds PhD in the Pipeline Corrosion from University College London. He has more than twenty-two years of international experience as a corrosion engineer working with different engineering and operating companies in various countries.
He developed a new corrosion management model in 2012 which has been adopted by many governments, organisations and companies both in hydrocarbon and non-hydrocarbon industries around the world ever since. The model considers both corrosion engineering-based and non-corrosion engineering-based integrity management measures.
He is the author of five asset corrosion management books, all published by AMPP (former NACE International) between 2012 and 2020. His latest book which is on MIC was published in late 2022.
He also provides corrosion management consultancy and training to both hydrocarbon (oil, gas and petrochemicals) and non-hydrocarbon (agriculture, chemicals, marine, metal processing, mining, power generation, seawater, water and wastewater and utilities) industries. He has taught the same topic to post-graduate students in Robert Gordon University in UK.

FAQ

DESIGNED FOR

The course is designed for the following disciplines and positions:
o Corrosion and Integrity Engineers and Managers
o Inspection Engineers
o Maintenance Engineers
o Cathodic Protection and Coating Engineers
o Operation and Production Managers
o Pipeline Integrity Engineers
o Process Engineers
o Health and Safety Engineers
o Chemical Treatment Engineers
o Asset Managers
o Lab technicians

COURSE LEVEL

Course level (Basic, intermediate or advanced).

Course level is advanced, but it does not require any prerequisites for attending; however, some field experience in the areas of asset integrity and corrosion is beneficial.

LEARNING OBJECTIVES

The main learning objectives of the course are:
o To understand what CM is and what it is not
o To make a distinction between the CE and CM concepts
o To explain the traditional asset integrity management approach (which was only based on the CE concept) and compare it with the modern asset integrity management approach (which is based on the CM concept)
o To learn how CM is implemented across an asset
o To appreciate the various benefits of CM applications
o To share international CM experience, case studies and best practice from some of the biggest engineering and operating companies in the world
o To learn how to optimize corrosion costs for an asset
