The first step in safety and reliability of refinery equipment is identifying, understanding, preventing the relevant failure mechanisms. Corrosion is the primary cause of failure of components in the process industries. The success or failure of the equipment to corrosive environment to a great extent depends on the right metallurgy. Thus proper understanding of the metallurgy and corrosion phenomenon helps engineers to mitigate corrosion and to monitor it on a periodic basis, based on which, corrective actions can be taken. Premature failure of critical components like pipelines, tanks, pressure vessels, boilers and related equipment, heat exchangers and welded joints often results in operating down time, loss of production, environmental pollution and in some cases, loss of human life. Millions of dollars are spent every year by these industries to combat corrosion. The course crosses the boundaries from the fundamental information to top notch in the recent technological achievement in this field.
By the end of this course delegates will be able to:
