Internal Corrosion for Pipelines Basic

Introduction

The ICP – Basic Principles course introduces the fundamentals of implementing, monitoring, and maintaining an internal corrosion control program as part of an overall pipeline integrity management program. It is an introductory level course focusing on internal corrosion of liquid and natural gas pipelines used for transmissions, storage, and gathering systems. Classroom instruction consists of lecture, group exercises, case studies, and hands-on field testing using different instruments and techniques utilized to identify and monitor internal corrosion. There are no prerequisites for this course but a high school diploma, GED or equivalent, 4 years of internal corrosion work, and basic corrosion course are recommended.

Objectives

    Upon the successful completion of this course, the participants should be able to:

    • Identify the types of corrosion, influencing key environmental variables, and methods to control corrosion.
    • Monitor corrosion through devices and tests, including analysis of gas, liquid and sludge/solid samples, coupons, and electrical probes ü Examine exposed surfaces and be able to determine the root cause of corrosion
    • Perform integrity assessment methods including internal corrosion direct assessment, in-line inspection, and hydrostatic testing
    • Proper selection of mitigation methods such as:
      • Chemical treatment by biocides and corrosion inhibitors
      • Facilities maintenance including the use of pigs, clearing drips, and clearing valves
      • Internal coatings
      • Cathodic protection only for internal protection of tanks
      • Facility design considerations

Training Methodology

This is an interactive course. There will be open question and answer sessions, regular group exercises and activities, videos, case studies, and presentations on best practice. Participants will have the opportunity to share with the facilitator and other participants on what works well and not so well for them, as well as work on issues from their own organizations. The online course is conducted online using MS-Teams/ClickMeeting.

Who Should Attend?
