The University of Oklahoma's Corrosion Control Course offers comprehensive, foundational training for Corrosion Control professionals. Aligned with AMPP standards, the course provides specialized tracks in Methods and Instrumentation or Corrosion Assessment and Control.
By attending the OU Corrosion Control Course, you'll gain the expertise needed to excel in the field of corrosion control.
Selecting Coatings for Specific Corrosion Mechanisms:
Choosing linings resistant to H2S, CO2, MIC, specific chemicals, high temperatures, etc.
How Coatings Prevent Internal Corrosion:
Understanding the barrier mechanism specific to internal environments.
Limitations of Coatings:
Understanding when coatings might not be suitable or require supplementary protection (e.g., very high tempatures, aggrressive chemical attack.
Impact of Internal Corrosion on Coatings:
How underlying corrosion can cause coating failure (e.g., cathodic disbandment near holidays, undercutting).
Inspection Challenges:
Difficulties in inspecting internal coatings in service and how it relates to corrosion monitoring.
Role of Coatings in Integrity Management:
How internal coatings fit into a larger program alongside monitoring, chemical treatment, and other mitigation methods.
Corrosion Mechanisms:
Understanding different types of corrosion, such as uniform corrosion, pitting, and stress corrosion cracking, and the factors that contribute to them.
Inspection Techniques:
Learning various methods for assessing the extent and location of external corrosion, including non-destructive testing (NDT) and above-ground surveys.
Cathodic Protection:
Understanding the principles and application of cathodic protection, a common method for preventing corrosion, including impressed current and sacrificial anode systems.
Coatings and Linings:
Studying different types of coatings and linings used to protect pipelines and other infrastructure from external corrosion, including their properties, application, and limitations.
External Corrosion Direct Assessment (ECDA):
Learning about ECDA, a structured process for assessing and managing the impact of external corrosion on pipeline integrity.
Regulatory Requirements:
Understanding relevant standards, best practices, and regulations related to external corrosion control.
Fundamentals of Impressed Current Cathodic Protection (ICCP):
Understanding the core principles of ICCP as a corrosion control technique.
Rectifier Theory and Applications:
Delving into the basic theory behind rectifiers and their various applications within ICCP systems.
Components and Operation:
Learning about the essential components of rectifiers and how they operate to deliver cathodic protection.
Installation and Routine Maintenance:
Gaining knowledge on the proper installation procedures and routine maintenance practices for rectifiers.
Troubleshooting and Hands-On Application:
Developing skills in troubleshooting standard rectifier units, including hands-on practice.
Discussion and Review:
Engaging in general discussions and question-and-answer sessions to reinforce learning.
