Introduction
This bulletin presents updating information regarding the case study presentation evening, Thursday 12th of November 2020. for the benefit of all participants in the evening.
The format
The Young Engineers are currently working in 7 teams on the case study. On the evening of 12th November each team will be asked present their findings from the case study. The teams will need to demonstrate team work however the mechanism of delivery is up to each team and their mentors.
Each team will be held in the lobby and will be called forward to present one team at a time the remaining teams will remain in the lobby and will not be able to hear the preceding team’s presentation. Each presentation will start at the allocated time. The presentation is expected to last for 20 minutes. There is then five minutes for questions. The team will step down when the Chair closes that part of the session (at 25 minutes), that team can then remain in the meeting with video and audio muted to listen to all subsequent deliveries.
Following the completion of all presentations there will then be a break while the judges confer and decide on the winning team. The winning team will be announced at the end of the evening, congratulations and commiserations given by the Chair and the meeting will be closed.
Preparation for the meeting
Each team is requested to complete preparation of their presentation some days in advance. Please send your presentation by either email or a file transfer service such as WeTransfer to david.mobbs@c-i-m.co.uk by midday on Wednesday 11th November.

Aberdeen Branch Event - Joint Meeting with IOM3/MIS
2020-11-24 18:00 - 19:30
Date: 24/11/2020
Event Type: Joint Meeting with IOM3/MIS
Speaker: Professor Debra Carr – Defence and Security Accelerator. DASA Scotland Innovation Partner.
Topic: Body armour: why, how and what (from)? : A provocative presentation to get you thinking “out of the box”: An excellent opportunity to hear from a Materials Technology Expert, from out with our own Industry. Advanced body armour is not just relevant for military people and we should consider its’ deployment in partnership with ROV’s or Inspection Tasks / NII and all types of Surveillance Drones, so that we can operate in more effectively in hostile and production sensitive environments? Materials used for body armour have recently been re-purposed as Blast protection sheets and are already being used on the Drill floor to allow High pressure testing of Drilling well control equipment to take place concurrent with other operations thereby saving significant time and money – could this approach be applied elsewhere? Are there more tasks where personnel could be using modified body armour?
Time: 18:00: Finish* at 19:30

Challenges and Future of the discipline & Young ICorr Festive Quiz!
2020-12-17 16:00 - 17:00
Thursday 17th December 4pm
Young Institute of Corrosion (Young ICorr) are really please to have Dr Bijan Kermani presenting “Challenges and future of the discipline”. The general energy outlook indicates that there is an increasing global energy demand and that hydrocarbons still contribute to the majority of the global energy mix. Technology continues to play a fundamental role for the hydrocarbon industry sector’s business success; reducing capital and operational expenditure, environmental, safety and reputational risk and increasing reliability. In these, innovative materials/corrosion and integrity management technologies play significant roles.
While significant progress has been made over the years in understanding the root causes of integrity management threats with advances in innovative solutions to address key challenges facing the sector, there still remain major challenges.
This presentation covers three themes including (i) a career path, (ii) corrosion and materials challenges facing hydrocarbon production industry sector, and finally (iii) how corrosion and metallurgy discipline is moving forward.
It concludes that the future is bright for corrosion discipline, although many challenges remain; the requirement for future innovation and the portrayal of a positive image of the discipline.
Following the talk there will be a team quiz, we will allocate the teams to enable you to meet other Young ICorr members. We look forward to seeing you then.

London Branch Virtual Meeting
2021-02-11 18:00 - 19:00
About the Talk
This talk will present the basic function of solid-state DC decouplers used in conjunction with cathodic protection (CP) systems and their common pipeline applications, including AC Mitigation and isolation joint protection.
In addition, this talk will review some of the challenges often encountered with obtaining accurate CP potentials on protected structures during interrupted surveys. Capacitors, which are essential components of decouplers used with AC mitigation systems, can in some situations influence instant-off measurements and lead the operator toward incorrect conclusions. This talk will explain the influence of capacitance on instant-off measurement response, illustrate the behaviour using several field installation examples and offer techniques to overcome the capacitive effects during interrupted surveys.
About the Speaker
Jay Warner is the Manager for International Business Development at Dairyland Electrical Industries. He works to promote technical awareness of isolation and grounding issues for cathodically protected systems and helps customers apply Dairyland’s solid-state decoupler technology to corrosion protection systems within the energy, utility, marine and rail industries. Prior to his current role, Jay served as the Engineering Manager at Dairyland.
Jay graduated from Purdue University with degrees in Mechanical Engineering and has a background in control systems across a variety of industries including automotive, heavy duty trucks and power generation. He has been an active member of NACE for over 5 years.

2021-03-30 18:00 - 19:30
Date: 30/03/2021
Event Type: ICorr Technical Event
Speaker: Dr George Sergi – VECTOR. Galvanic Corrosion Control of Reinforced Concrete:
Topic: Galvanic Corrosion / CP Control of Reinforced Concrete; Lessons learnt from 20 years of Site Trials. Sacrificial anodes have been used in reinforced concrete structures for up to 20 years. This presentation reviews the performance of the oldest set of anodes used in enhanced patch repairs where anodes were placed at the periphery of the patch at around 600 mm spacing on centre. It demonstrates, from results of current output and steel de-polarisation levels that the repair system is still functioning adequately. These prototype anodes, designed for a 10-year life, have continued to deliver a reduced but significant current complying with currently accepted criteria. The overall reduction in current was found to be adequately described by an ‘anode aging’ model where the current delivered is halved over constant time intervals, enabling determination of an ‘aging-factor’.

Optimizing impressed current cathodic protection (ICCP) anode sled locations for offshore jacket structure retrofits
2021-04-08 18:00 - 19:00
Optimizing impressed current cathodic protection (ICCP) anode sled locations for offshore jacket structure retrofits.

Presenter: Dr Matthew Taylor (Deepwater Corrosion Services, Inc.)
Synopsis:
Choosing anode sled locations is a critical step in the ICCP retrofit design process. Typically, a CP engineer locates sleds based on site plans, experience, intuition, and some simple equations evaluating “remoteness” criteria.
3D CP Multiphysics software (both BE and FE) models have been used to evaluate the performance of a given CP design. These models, typically proprietary in construction and calibrated by historical structure polarization data give general indications of system performance, often ignoring the effects of ICCP on associated pipelines. Any attempted optimization procedure involves “guess and check” techniques, with no method of validating the results.
Pipeline CP measurements made during and after ICCP system commissioning has revealed that pipelines were more affected than previously believed given the “remoteness” criteria traditionally used.
This talk describes algorithms and analysis to optimize the placement, quantity and output of anode sleds to improve system efficiency, minimize risk to pipelines and reduce cost.

Aberdeen Branch Event - Virtual In-Line Inspection for Corrosion Management in Un-piggable Pipelines
2021-04-27 12:00 - 13:00
Tuesday, 27th April 2021 at 12:00 – 13:00 UK BSTime
Virtual In-Line Inspection for Corrosion Management in Un-piggable Pipelines
1 hr | Free
Michael Smith | Senior Engineer Data Scientist | ROSEN UK
Over the past 30 years, ILI data have been collected all around the world. Although pipelines are diverse in their characteristics, many share similar risk profiles for common pipeline threats such as external and internal corrosion. This has led the industry naturally towards machine learning as a complementary corrosion monitoring solution for pipelines that cannot be inspected using ILI. For a given uninspected pipeline, we can source data for similar inspected pipelines and use machine learning algorithms to generate predictive models. The results of a “Virtual ILI” create clear justification for planning actual inspections or maintenance in challenging pipelines.
