Cathodic Protection and Procor® Solutions
Corrosion, like mechanical vibration, is an omnipresent challenge, affecting infrastructure, machinery, and pipelines across industries. It is a destructive phenomenon that compromises material integrity, leading to fatigue, failures, and substantial maintenance costs. Cathodic protection (CP) is a critical method to mitigate this degradation, safeguarding assets in sectors such as oil and gas, maritime, and infrastructure. In this course, participants will gain insights into CP design, monitoring, and maintenance, equipping them with the skills to combat corrosion effectively and enhance the longevity and reliability of assets in diverse environments.
Objectives:
This training on cathodic protection provides a comprehensive introduction to the principles and real-world applications of CP systems, focusing on their role in safeguarding metals from corrosion. Participants will gain practical experience through hands-on field measurements and the use of Procor, a software tool for modelling, simulating, and analysing corrosion systems. With advanced functionalities such as 3D modelling, boundary condition definition, and corrosion rate computation, Procor equips participants with the ability to make accurate predictions and informed decisions in corrosion management.
The training provides participants with:
- Electrochemistry focusing on its principles and how they are directly applied to CP systems.
- Insights into CP methodologies, covering both theoretical and practical aspects to understanding of corrosion prevention strategies.
- Practical field skills, such as conducting CP field measurements and interpreting data to implement reliable corrosion management solutions.
- Hands-on experience with modern tools like Procor, enabling participants to model, simulate, and analyse corrosion systems effectively.
