Refinery Storage Corrosion

This eLearning course aims to educate on the sources of corrosion, types of corrosion, and mechanisms for preventing or mitigating the impact on most of the storage facilities in an oil refinery installation. It includes detailed discussions on the corrosion mechanisms and the impact on equipment and instruments in the storage facilities. Corrosion-preventing actions that can be applied during the design stage and control activities during normal operation, routine, and special maintenance activities are discussed for each tank type and their associated facilities along the eLearning course. 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 the refining installations and their storage facilities.
