: Gain insights into how specific units—such as desalters, atmospheric distillation, and overhead systems—are susceptible to unique failure modes. Professional Impact & Certification
: Understand electrochemical processes and both high- and low-temperature corrosion principles. NACE Corrosion Control in the Refining Industry
The course, now administered by AMPP (the organization formed by the merger of NACE and SSPC), is an intensive technical program designed to mitigate the massive economic and safety risks posed by corrosion in refineries. With corrosion costs in the U.S. refining sector estimated at over $3.6 billion annually, this course serves as the foundational training for the Refining Corrosion Technologist certification. Core Curriculum & Learning Objectives : Gain insights into how specific units—such as
: Learn to implement protection through material selection, chemical inhibitors, cathodic and anodic protection, and protective coatings. With corrosion costs in the U
Completing the course is a primary requirement for professionals seeking to advance their careers in asset integrity and refinery management. Damage Mechanisms Affecting Catalytic Reformer Units
: Analyze raw data from corrosion probes and non-destructive testing (NDT) to make informed maintenance decisions.
