The Program covered the concepts of corrosion, the causes of corrosion and the methods by which corrosion is identified and mitigated. It focused on different corrosion protection methods. In the current business environment, corrosion failures may involve personal injuries, fatalities, unscheduled shutdowns, contaminated products and environmental damage. 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 action in the industry.
