ICorr Central Scotland Updates

Jul 15, 2025 | Institute News, Uncategorized

The Central Scotland Branch had two excellent events in March and April which extended its technical reach and attracted attendees from outside its catchment. Both events were very well attended and covered fascinating and somewhat enigmatic topics – Passive Fire Protection and Internal Linings. The Branch Committee also held a steering meeting on 24th April 2025
to plan for future events, chief among which is an exhibition in June 2025.

On 26th March 2025, Carboline’s Srijith Nair captivated the audience by delving deep into the world of Passive Fire Protection. Leveraging over 20 years’ technical experience in the domain, Srijith gave a detailed presentation on the topic “PFP – The Benefits of Blending Organic and Inorganic Technology”. He provided insights on the state of the art regarding PFP and explained how new technologies are providing fire protection on assets.

April’s technical meeting further deepened attendees’ knowledge of coatings and linings. Simon Daly, a Coatings Consultant at Safinah Ltd. with 35 years’ industry experience, delivered a seminal presentation on “Selection of internal coatings for pressure vessels” on 30th April 2025. Simon’s presentation covered the chemistry of internal linings, discussed testing protocols and provided a preview on the publication of a new standard on internal linings.
