Turning Knowledge into Prevention - Damage Mechanisms Explained

Understanding corrosion damage mechanisms is essential for preventing leaks, failures, and unplanned shutdowns in refining and other industrial operations. This training section is organized by corrosion damage mechanisms, with each mechanism divided into focused micro-modules.

These micro-modules explain how corrosion initiates and progresses, the operating and environmental conditions that promote damage, and the potential consequences if it is not properly managed. Emphasis is placed on practical recognition, inspection considerations, and mitigation approaches, enabling learners to apply the knowledge directly in day-to-day operational and maintenance activities.

Crude Corrosivity

This training provides a comprehensive overview of naphthenic acid corrosion and high-temperature sulfidation, sometimes described as crude corrosivity. It addresses the fundamental characteristics of these damage mechanisms, with emphasis on the influence of process conditions, material selection, inspection, and monitoring practices.
