Corrosion Management Masterclass

The teaching will be done via PowerPoint slides containing text, tables, plots, pictures, etc. The teaching will be interactive, that is, on a regular basis the participants will be asked to participate in an ongoing topic, discussion or challenge. Past integrity case studies will be presented throughout the training course to promote best international practices while simultaneously discouraging integrity practices which had resulted in impairing asset integrity in various projects.

This Gulf Rowad training course will end with a short exam to further help all the participants to remember all the important subjects, concepts and practices discussed throughout the course.

By the end of this Gulf Rowad training course, participants will learn to:

• Fully understand and appreciate the Corrosion Management (CM)  concept
• Develop asset Corrosion Management (CM) strategy and implementing it
• Determine corrosion control matrices
• Determine corrosion key performance indicators
• Design and apply various Corrosion Management (CM) tools and products

Anybody within the company or among its contractors who is associated with corrosion engineering, asset integrity management, inspections, chemical treatments, coating systems, cathodic protection, project engineering, asset management and repair and maintenance would greatly benefit from this training course.

This Gulf Rowad training course is suitable to a wide range of professionals but will greatly benefit: 

• Corrosion & Integrity Engineers
• Production & Operation Engineers
• Inspection Engineers
• Repair & Maintenance Engineers
• Coating & CP Engineers
• Asset Project Engineers & Asset Managers
• Chemical Treatment Suppliers
• Corrosion Monitoring Systems Suppliers & Lab Technicians

Organisational Impact

The organization as a whole will gain a new knowledge and set of skills which will help them to significantly enhance their corrosion mitigation and control and further optimise their pertinent integrity costs.

The organization gains will include:

• Improved (site) personnel safety and environmental protection
• Enhanced teamwork, communication and reporting
• Increased corrosion failure pre-emption capability across the organization
• Optimised corrosion and integrity costs
• Extended equipment and asset life due to reduced corrosion rates
• Increased production / operation times and reduced number of unplanned shutdowns

Personal Impact

Participants will learn to mitigate and control corrosion more efficiently through improved understanding of premier root causes behind the majority of corrosion issues and failures. Attending the course will help them to:

• Learn what corrosion management concept is and how it differs from corrosion engineering
• How the corrosion management process is implemented across an asset?
• How the overall integrity management and inspections could become more efficient through a risk-based approach?
• How the organisation’s capability in pre-empting corrosion failures increases?
• How the pertinent integrity and corrosion costs are optimized?
• How various non-corrosion engineering-based integrity measures could also significantly enhance corrosion control and mitigation often at no or very little costs?
