About
This eLearning course aims to educate on the sources of corrosion, types of corrosion, and mechanisms for preventing or mitigating their impact on crude distillation and vacuum distillation process units, including the corrosion mechanisms and their impact on equipment and instruments. The course discusses corrosion-preventing actions that can be applied during the design stage and control actions during normal operation, routine, and special maintenance activities. Effective corrosion control minimizes its destructive impact, thereby enhancing the operating cycles of process units, optimizing maintenance costs, and ensuring safer and more profitable operations of refining installations.
Target Audience
Process engineers, planning and economics engineers, inspection engineers, HSE
engineers, maintenance engineers and supervisors, laboratory managers and
supervisors, turnaround planners and operation supervisors.
You Will Learn
- Identify corrosive components in crude oil
- Examine the sources and mechanisms of corrosion in crude distillation and vacuum units
