Course:
Corrosion Management and Failure Analysis: Microbiologically Influenced Corrosion (MIC)

18 – 19 November 2024
Syddanske Forskerparker
Forskerparken 10
5230 Odense

Registration deadline 23 October 2024.

The course will cover basic corrosion management principles, basic MIC mechanisms, use of molecular microbiological methods (MMM) in diagnosing and managing MIC, selection of MIC mitigation methods, selection and interpretation of MIC monitoring methods, case studies demonstrating MIC diagnostic tools, failure analysis principles, MIC modelling and demonstrate applicable sampling techniques and equipment.

Learning objectives:

• Be able to apply the latest Industry Guidelines and Standards on Corrosion Management and Microbial Corrosion of Engineered Systems
• Be able to apply Corrosion Management principles to assessing, mitigating and monitoring the corrosion threat of MIC
• Understand, and correctly apply and interpret state of the art MIC diagnostic methods
• Understand sampling procedures for various sample types obtained in the water, process and energy sector
• Be able to plan and execute a failure analysis investigation where MIC is the root cause 

Why you should attend: 

To be able to diagnose, prevent and act against the MIC threat in industrial process systems in the maritime sector, water and processing industries. To be able to distinguish between abiotic and biotic corrosion. 

Who should attend: 

Individuals with responsibility for developing, implementing and executing corrosion management activities, including corrosion and materials engineers, microbiologists, production chemists, process engineers, integrity managers, laboratory technicians and field staff. Both asset operators, manufactures, consultants and academics will benefit from the latest updates in this course.

Language:

The course will be taught in English
