SUMMARY:ICorr London Branch - In-person Technical Presentation
DESCRIPTION:In-person Technical Presentation \nAli Morshed : “Why Effective MIC Control is Still a Major Challenge in the Industry” \nLancaster Hall hotel\, Bayswater\, London\, 6.30pm.  Refreshments and networking 7.30-9.00pm \nAbstract:          \nMicrobiologically influenced corrosion (MIC) still remains as a major integrity threat and cause of failure for many upstream\, midstream and downstream\, oil and gas assets – in spite of the continuous technological advances in the areas of oilfield microbiology\, metallurgy and chemicals. \nMIC can be defined as corrosion influenced by the presence\, or activity\, of microorganisms. Such microorganisms can cause corrosion problems for various oil and gas assets either directly or indirectly. The corrosion damage inflicted by them is considered direct when they create or further increase the environment’s corrosivity (e.g.\, by acid production through their metabolism). The damage is considered indirect when they attack\, deteriorate or weaken\, a corrosion control measure already in place\, thus further promoting corrosion. Such affected corrosion control measures include surface coatings and some corrosion control chemicals such as certain types of oxygen scavengers. \nLocations or systems most susceptible to bacterial contamination and MIC include\, but are not limited to: \n\nSea water injection\nFire water\nDrains\nCooling water\nSand wash water (where treated sea water is used to wash the sand accumulated in various pressure vessels)\nWater displacement systems (where treated sea water is used to empty a product storage tank)\nWet product transfer pipelines\nWet product storage tanks\n\nThe important caveat regarding MIC is that prevention is always better than cure\, because microbial control once lost\, may take years to restore\, if at all! \nExtensive field experience from both the UK’s North Sea sector and the Persian Gulf region indicates that the main root cause of the encountered MIC leaks\, failures\, and issues\, has been either the total lack\, of or inadequate\, knowledge and expertise in relation to bacterial and MIC basics and fundamentals among the pertinent personnel. \nMore precisely\, MIC incompetency has been the main culprit behind the encountered MIC leaks and failures. In general\, the observed MIC incompetency can be divided into the following four subject areas: \n\nBacterial nourishment and growth conditions\nBacterial and MIC monitoring\nBacterial and MIC assessment\nBacterial and MIC control\n\nThe last three items\, when are incorporated with each other comprise the overall bacterial and MIC mitigation process\, as was mentioned earlier. \nSimultaneously\, it has also been observed that oil and gas assets which successfully managed and controlled the MIC integrity threat were the ones whose relevant personnel possessed adequate MIC competency\, mainly due to MIC training they had received. \nWhile MIC incompetency remains the main root cause of bacterial and MIC problems\, timely\, practical\, and adequate MIC training is regarded as the main solution and way forward for tackling the existing MIC issues for the oil and gas assets concerned.

SUMMARY:ICorr Fundamentals of Corrosion or Engineers Course
DESCRIPTION:This industry leading course provides direct access to professional membership of ICorr\, for those with relevant experience. Corrosion management\, failures and remediation commonly occur throughout all branches of engineering where metals are part of the structure or process. FOCE is a corrosion course that covers the basic principles of corrosion that are needed by engineers to understand why and how failures occur\, actions that can be taken to manage the ongoing corrosion and/or remediate the structure\, and options to prevent further corrosion\, where possible. The course is presented as a series of modules\, starting with essential background information about the corrosion process and then applying the basic principles to common engineering metals\, including stainless steel\, aluminium\, and copper alloys. \nBoth the general and the different types of localised corrosion such as crevices\, pitting\, bi-metallic corrosion\, etc.\, is considered. Common atmospheric and immersed conditions\, re-bar in concrete\, high-temperature atmospheres\, water treatment\, buried pipes\, etc are considered to understand corrosion. \nCorrosion management strategies\, including material selection\, cathodic protection\, surface preparation\, coatings\, chemical treatments\, inhibitors\, etc.\, are included in the course. \nThe role of the corrosion engineer is described and includes investigation of failed components\, inspection\, and testing of samples\, with practical examples and case histories included in the course notes. \nAs a classroom-based course\, FOCE is provided in English by an experienced\, practicing corrosion consultant. A copy of the training material is provided to each attendee. Questions and active participation are encouraged throughout the course\, as many participants enjoy learning about the additional real-life examples that are provided by fellow attendees. Fun quizzes are held each morning so both the candidates and the tutor can assess their progress during the week on an ongoing basis. One-on-one sessions can be arranged where a student has a specific module requirement. \nThe learning modules are given over four intensive days\, and candidates for the examination on the final day are encouraged to revise the material each evening to ensure that they understand the course content. \nAt the end of the course\, all attendees are given a Certificate of Attendance\, which shows that they have been present for all the modules. \nAfter passing the examination\, participants receive a Certificate of Achievement\, which demonstrates that they have received sufficient corrosion training to apply directly for a Professional grade of Membership of ICorr\, such as TICorr or MICorr\, depending on the other requirements of the membership grade. \nPrevious attendees of the course have ranged from complete beginners in corrosion (zero previous knowledge) to practicing Corrosion Consultants and some of the comments received from participants are given below. \nPlease note that FOCE specifically geared for professional membership is not a Cathodic Protection or Protective Coatings Inspector type course and does not provide these qualifications. Those courses are available separately through ICorr’s specialist training providers and further details are available on the ICorr website. \nICorr also offers many other specialist courses in Microbial Corrosion\, Oil and Gas related corrosion topics\, intumescent coatings\, etc. Details of all ICorr courses are available on the Institute website. \nFOCE course cost is currently £1650 + VAT and includes a copy of the course notes\, lunch each day plus tea and coffee. \nThe course fee must be paid in full before the delegate can attend the course. Potential delegates can fill in the application form on the website and contact ICorr for making payments. \nAdditional dates in 2024 will be posted in Corrosion Management magazine and on the ICorr website: https://www.icorr.org/fundamentals-of-corrosion-for-engineers/ Recent feedback from delegates \n1. Great course\, which I will certainly recommend to others. \n2. The (redacted) project and myself have definitely gained as a result. With the knowledge gained I have been identifying issues on site and poor practices that are now being addressed. As a result Line Managers have sent me to undertake checks of the Civil Engineering works in areas I do not normally inspect. \n3. I really enjoyed the course – you have a great teaching style\, very clear and logical\, it made the material easy to follow.
