FE0266 : Advanced Corrosion Technology: Corrosion Control, Corrosion Inhibitors and Corrosion Mitigation in Refinery Distillation, Recovery, Hydrotreating & Hydrocracking

This practical and highly-interactive course includes various practical sessions and exercises. Theory learnt will be applied using our state-of-the-art simulators. 

 

This course is designed to provide participants with a detailed and up-to-date overview of Advanced Corrosion Technology. It covers the corrosion thermodynamics and kinetics, electrochemical fundamentals and polarization and corrosion control; the electrochemical perspective of corrosion inhibitors, refinery corrosion mechanisms and monitoring and measurement; the atmospheric and vacuum distillation units (CDU/VDU), key damage mechanisms and overhead system corrosion control; the desalter and crude pretreatment, recovery units, materials selection and inspection and risk-based inspection (RBI); and the hydrotreating reaction chemistry, hydrocracking severity, pressure regimes and hydrogen partial pressure effects. 

 

During this interactive course, participants will learn the major damage mechanisms, reactor and high-pressure equipment and effluent and cold sections; the mitigation strategies, inspection and integrity management covering advanced NDT for HTHA, acoustic emission monitoring and risk-based inspection in hydroprocessing units; the CP fundamentals, CP criteria and standards and CP interference; the isolation techniques, AC mitigation and CP monitoring and troubleshooting; the coating fundamentals, surface preparation, coating systems for refinery and coatings and CP interaction; and the failure analysis of coatings and integrated corrosion management strategy.
