Corrosion & Cathodic Protection

This course provides a practical understanding of corrosion and cathodic protection used in industrial facilities. Participants learn the basic principles of corrosion, its causes, types, and effects on equipment and structures. The course explains how corrosion can affect pipelines, storage tanks, pressure vessels, and other metal components. Participants are introduced to different corrosion control and prevention methods used in industry. The course covers the fundamentals of cathodic protection and explains how it helps protect metal surfaces from corrosion. Both impressed current and sacrificial anode cathodic protection systems are discussed. Participants learn about anodes, reference electrodes, rectifiers, coatings, and monitoring systems. The course also covers basic inspection, testing, maintenance, and troubleshooting practices. Practical examples help participants understand how corrosion risks can be identified and controlled. By completing the course, participants can better support safe, reliable, and cost-effective corrosion management in industrial operations.
