Seminar Description
Effective corrosion inhibitor programs mean fewer equipment repairs, lower maintenance cost and less production downtime. In establishing corrosion treatment programs, it is essential to determine the most effective inhibitor for a given environment. In most cases, corrosion inhibitors are selected based on performance in the field. Traditionally, inhibitors and various inhibition treatments are tried until a combination that reduces failures and their inherent costs is found. This is a costly and time consuming process.

This seminar will cover the fundamental aspects of corrosion inhibition, the historical developments and the industrial applications of inhibitors within the Process industry. The seminar deals with the electrochemical principles and chemical aspects of corrosion inhibition, such as stability of metal complexes, the Hammett equation, hard and soft acid and base principle, quantum chemical aspects and Hansch’s model and also with the various surface analysis techniques, e.g. XPS, Auger, SIMS and Raman spectroscopy, that are used in industry for corrosion inhibition. Case studies given in this seminar include: oil and gas wells, Gas/Oil Separation Plants, Petroleum Refineries, petrochemical plants, water cooling systems, Acid Systems and many more. Further, the seminar will cover economic and environmental considerations which are now of prime importance within Oil & Gas industry.

This seminar will help participants to evaluate their inhibitor selection criteria and take back to their organizations methods to cut costs while ensuring that their corrosion management programs do not suffer.

Seminar Objectives
Upon the successful completion of this seminar, the participants should be able to:

• Update the Corrosion Engineers knowledge, the Chemists and other relevant disciplines, regarding the new Corrosion Inhibitors technology and treatment, for corrosion control and mitigation.

• Highlight potential problems associated with injection operations and its chemical treatment management.

• Evaluate and select corrosion inhibitors, their application, how to quantify inhibition rates and monitor their efficiency in corrosion mitigation.

• Classify the system according to its characteristics e.g. PH levels, oxygen contamination, temperature and pressure

• Select an inhibitor system – what’s your secret recipe?

• Evaluate corrosion inhibitor efficiency – justifying cost vs. performance

• Know the risks if you do not choose the appropriate inhibitors

• Review how the type of chemicals used changes according to the asset conditions.
