Corrosion Control Management
Corrosion is a leading cause of failure in many industrial systems, especially in sectors like oil & gas, chemical processing, and marine. This course provides participants with a comprehensive understanding of corrosion, its impact on equipment and materials, and effective management strategies for preventing and controlling it. Through real-world examples and hands-on exercises, participants will learn the best practices for corrosion management and mitigation.
