Internal Corrosion Control
CorrMagnet's continuing education program is accredited by the Engineering Institute of Canada (EIC).
This unique online course presents methodologies and tools to effectively and economically control internal corrosion of oil and gas industry's production, transmission, storage, and distribution infrastructures. It presents steps to assess internal corrosion threats as well as steps to develop, implement, monitor, maintain, and manage internal corrosion control solutions. The course also covers international standards/best practices including NACE internal corrosion direct assessment (ICDA) standards and Canadian Association of Petroleum Producers (CAPP) internal corrosion best practices, as well as regulatory requirements in Canada and the USA to control internal corrosion.
Who should attend?
- All who are interested in controlling internal corrosion in the oil and gas industry
- New corrosion professionals in the oil and gas industry
- Experienced non-corrosion professionals in the oil and gas industry.
- All who want to earn Professional Development Hours (PDH) and Continuing Education Units (CDU)
- Engineers and technical persons generally need certain number of PDH and CDU to maintain their professional degrees
- CorrMagnet is one of the EIC's Quality Learning Providers.
