Course Content
DEFINITION & MECHANISMS OF CORROSION
-
Duration : 1 Day
Ferrous and non-ferrous metals: structure, composition, mechanical properties, metallurgy.
Analysis of the origin and development process of each form of corrosion and possible methods of prevention.
Forms of corrosion studied: uniform, galvanic, pitting, crevice, inter-granular, selective, corrosion-erosion and cavitation, stress corrosion, contact corrosion.
TYPES OF CORROSION ENCOUNTERED IN THE OIL & GAS INDUSTRY
-
Duration : 1 Day
Each type of corrosion is studied together with possible remedial treatment:
Corrosion by hydrogen sulfide.
Corrosion by carbon dioxide.
Corrosion due to oxygen in aqueous environment.
Caustic soda corrosion.
Corrosion in acid gas treatment units.
Atmospheric corrosion or corrosion by sea water.
Corrosion by mercury.
Corrosion of reinforced concrete.
Case studies of corrosion observed in Oil & Gas installations: identification of the types of corrosion and suggested remedial treatments.
CORROSION PREVENTION
-
Duration : 1 Day
Design of equipment aimed at avoiding certain types of corrosion.
