Basic Designing Corrosion Control in Oil and Gas Facilities

This course provides overall basic knowledges on corrosion principle, different forms of corrosion and types of damage caused corrosion found in oil/gas facilities, 

basic design for corrosion protection in oil and gas facilities (including material selection, painting / coating, chemical treatment, corrosion monitoring). 

By the end of the course, student will be able to understand the corrosion process and how to apply corrosion protection in oil and gas facilities.
