Pipeline Corrosion Identification and Prevention

This technical course provides a deep dive into the mechanisms, identification, and control of corrosion, the single largest threat to pipeline integrity. It covers both internal corrosion (due to H2S, CO2, water) and external corrosion (due to soil, stray current), detailing the principles of cathodic protection (CP) and protective coatings. Participants will learn how to use corrosion monitoring tools, interpret inspection data, and design effective prevention programs to ensure the long-term fitness-for-service of pipeline infrastructure. The course is essential for maintaining asset integrity, complying with regulations, and preventing catastrophic failures.
