COURSE OVERVIEW

 This practical and highly-interactive course includes real-life case studies and exercises where participants will be engaged in a series of interactive small groups and class workshops. 

 This course is designed to provide delegates with a detailed and up-to-date overview of asset integrity: protective coat engineering. Further, the course will also cover the uses of coating and lining, employ the best practices and identify external factors that influence their uses; the process of chemistry of liquid applied coating and coating formulation chemistry; differentiation of organic and inorganic coatings; and the coating characteristics including the basic chemistry and unique characteristics that affect surface preparation and application needs. 

During this interactive course, participants will learn the common test and qualification method for liquid-applied coating and identify the chemistry of non-liquid coatings; the unique application and quality control methods for important non-liquid coatings; the testing coating properties and performance as well as the coating defects and substrates; the various coating system types including system selection, goals, objectives, performance requirements, design engineered properties and trade-offs; and the coating specification, coating surveys and maintenance program.
