Protecting Your Asset:

3-Day Intensive Workshop on

“Corrosion Management”

Don't Let Your Assets Crumble. Invest in Knowledge Bank

26-28th September 2024| Holiday Inn Mumbai International Airport, Mumbai, India

PROGRAM OVERVIEW

This comprehensive training program will equip participants with the knowledge and skills to effectively manage corrosion challenges in different industries. Corrosion is a pervasive issue that can lead to significant financial losses, safety hazards, and environmental damage. By addressing this critical concern, companies can improve operational efficiency, reduce maintenance costs, and ensure regulatory compliance.

The choice of corrosion prevention methods and analysis techniques must be planned to close a corrosion protection mechanism. It also depends on reaching a path to improve the formulation of the protection system. Ideally, a complete investigation should contain a combination of different techniques. However, it is more important to understand the phenomena in each case and attribute the response to mechanism protection.

In the industrial sector, constantly monitoring corrosion by adopting appropriate testing techniques, application of cathodic protection, and coating of an exterior surface of vessels and structures can help a corrosion savvy to identify damage to equipment over time and take effective remedial action before it gets out of control.
