ISO 15156/ NACE MR0175

This course is a half day long and presents the essential elements of all three parts of the Standard governing the use of metallic materials for sour service. This is the principal standard of the oil and gas industry, designed to prevent accidents like that shown.

The course is aimed at junior corrosion and materials engineers, as well as mechanical, process and chemical engineers, who need to be aware of the standard. The course is also suitable for technical sales personnel involved with products covered by the standard.

The first presentation describes all three parts of the standard and their essential elements. The second lecture covers responsibilities, as set out in the standard, levels of information and how to take commercial advantage of the standard.

The course can be put on for a single company's staff, or as part of a wider, more public gathering.

CORROSION IN THE DESALINATION INDUSTRY

This course is normally a full day course, but can be shortened to a half day, depending on the familiarity of the participants with corrosion mechanisms.

The course is aimed at engineers involved in desalination, either in the design, materials selection or operations of reverse osmosis, multi-stage flash and multiple effect distillation plants.

The full course has five parts:

• Corrosion mechanisms
• Materials
• Corrosion in RO plants
• Corrosion in thermal plants
• Prevention of corrosion

The course can be put on for a single company's staff, or as part of a wider, more public gathering.

GALVANIC CORROSION

This is a half day course that covers the essentials of galvanic corrosion, which still causes a huge number of industrial failures every year, and also how to prevent them.

The course is aimed not only at corrosion and materials engineers, but also at mechanical and process engineers who have to select materials for arduous service.

The course has two parts. In the first, the requirements for galvanic corrosion to occur are discussed as are the effects of various parameters on the severity of attack. Also covered are the galvanic relationships between various commonly used alloys. In the second part, common galvanic corrosion problems in seawater, freshwater and the atmosphere are discussed, as well as appropriate solutions.

The course can be modified to focus on other environments, such as acids and other aggressive chemicals, or atmospheric corrosion for architects.

The course can be put on for a single company's staff, or as part of a wider, more public gathering.
