Implement Fundamentals of Corrosion and Corrosion Prevention (42 hours)

Transcription

1 PE WSQ COURSE ON CORROSION PROTECTION Corrosion is a multidisciplinary issue affecting almost all industrial sectors around the world. Losses due to corrosion are enormous and the economical impacts significant, highlighting the dire need for a proactive approach to corrosion prevention and control. However, the lack of knowledge and experience in corrosion and corrosion protection among local technical managers, designers, engineers, and technicians remains one of the main obstacles to effective actions in the industry. To address this need, this module covers the fundamentals of corrosion-related issues in the industry. The module is designed to equip participants with the basic fundamentals of corrosion and its evaluation and mainly covers the following three key topics: Corrosion Fundamentals and Consequences This includes the dangers associated with corrosion, different types of corrosion and their mechanisms, and the basics of the corrosion process. Overview of Corrosion Control and Rectification This session starts with an introduction to corrosion control methods, followed with details of surface preparation according to standards, coating application, quality control/inspection, and corrosion rectifications. Case studies on corrosion problems arising from coating failures will also be shared during classroom lectures. Corrosion Characterisation and Testing This section covers corrosion testing and characterisation techniques and procedures in industrial practices. Participants will have the opportunity to gain hands-on experiences via laboratory sessions. The comprehensive structure of this module incorporates classroom lectures, hands-on experimental work, and suitable case studies to represent a wider cross-section of the rudiments and evaluation of corrosion. Why This Course Implement Fundamentals of Corrosion and Corrosion Prevention (42 hours) The module equips participants with the basic knowledge and skills critical for the evaluation of real-time corrosion-related issues and for specifying pertinent remedies/preventive approaches to combat the problems. This will help them to not only upgrade their professional skills, but also enhance their career growth opportunities. For companies, the benefits of having a more knowledgeable workforce are three-fold: It would help reduce potential operational failures/damages, improve overall efficiency, and increase operational savings.

2 Who Should Attend The module will be beneficial to technical managers, designers, engineers, and technicians dealing with corrosion-related issues at their respective fields of employment. Given the interdisciplinary nature of this subject, the personnel could be from any of Singapore s industrial sectors including, but not limited to, oil and gas, marine, chemicals, food and beverages, manufacturing, infrastructure (power, water, roads, and transport), and construction, etc. When & Where Please visit our website at KTO.SIMTech.a-star.edu.sg for the updated course schedule.
