Each hour will be an intense series of Power Points to
illustrate and explain the fundamentals of CO2
corrosion. The course will focus on CO2 and H2S
corrosion.
Note : That this course is designed to provide
educa on rather than training. By receiving
this educa on a competent person should be
able to apply the knowledge to solve a
specific problem. Training relates to how to
deal with specific problems but usually does
not discus why the system works, or how to
apply knowledge to solve other problems.

INTRODUCTION:
We start with a background to the electrochemical nature of corrosion se ng the scene as to the energe c
driving force for corrosion and the electromo ve force produced by galvanic cells. EMF voltages can be affected
by both temperature and concentra on, ie the Nernst Equa on. Pourbaix developed the Nernst equa on into a
corrosion poten al map, which we use to highlight when corrosion is possible or not possible.

However, the thermodynamic poten al of corrosion occurs at zero current, and does not take into account the
effect of constant current on voltages. For corrosion we need to understand the kine cs of electrode processes,
best explained by construc ng Evans diagrams. This finally allows us to see the true complexity of corrosion and
the difficulty in predic on. This is a lot of extremely complex chemistry, but without it we cannot understand the
causes of corrosion.

Dr Paul Rostron is a Chartered Chemist of the Royal Society of Chemistry, and a member of the Institute of
Corrosion, UK. Currently he is a Lecturer at Cranfield University, UK where he lectures in fuels and energetic
materials. prior to this he was Assistant Professor at the Petroleum Institute, Abu Dhabi. he has over 30 peer-
reviewed publications in corrosion and conducts research into petroleum corrosion both failure analysis and
research into corrosion prevention. He also delivers residential courses in corrosion around the world. He has
over 20+ years experience working with the corrosion professionals and has been actively involved in corrosion
research for over 25 years. Current research topics includes:

a Corrosion mapping of the UAE.

a Mixing efficiency assessment of two component coatings.
a Corrosion rate as a function of pipe expansion ratio for down-hole applications.
a Sour gas condensate corrosion mechanism.
a Galvanic Corrosion in Ethylene glycol recovery unit.

 DAY 1
We look at sweet and sour corrosion, looking at how
the corrosion product can affect corrosion rates,
par cularly the large surface area cathode effect.
Module 1
a Review of electrochemistry and Evans diagrams:
Since corrosion is electrochemical, it is vitally
important one gets a good grounding in the
fundamentals. This module is a summary of the
material covered in the basic corrosion course, and
is primarily a refresher/ introduction to electrode
kinetics, primarily the Evans Diagram.
Module 2
a Corrosion Measurement Techniques:
How is the rate of corrosion determined? There are
several techniques, such as the use of coupons
periodic inspection, linear polarization and pigging.
These techniques are discussed in detail in this
module.
Module 3
a Pipeline Corrosion Control:
Pipelines are used extensively and face many
different corrosive threats. In this module we
discuss pigging and how to control corrosion, both
the internal and external threats, as well as advice
on pipeline design and how to remediate old
pipelines
Module 4
a Splash Zone Corrosion:
Marine structure shave many corrosive threats,
primarily due to immersion service and chlorides,
yet the hardest to control is corrosion in the splash
zone. We discuss the causes and remediation
techniques which can control this.
Day 1 Exercises :
illustrative examples and calculations to reinforce
the day's activities
Module 5
a Acid Gas Corrosion:
Some of the most difficult to control corrosion
comes from the acid gases, carbon dioxide and
hydrogen sulphide. We look at CO2 Mesa corrosion
as well as the damage hydrogen sulphide can
cause, primarily the cracking of susceptible steels,
a review of NACE MR0175 is included in this
module.
DAY 2
We tackle the complexi es of sour corrosion, the
causes of cracking and the toxicity of H2S. We look at
corrosion mi ga on strategies, star ng off with
coa ngs and pipelines, coa ng assessment, field
joints etc.
Module 6
a Concrete Corrosion:
Concrete reinforcement bars (rebar) provides
tensile strength to concrete structures. However
rebar is not immune to corrosion and a major
determinant of the life of a concrete rebar structure
is the specifications in the design phase. We show
how simple corrosion control techniques can
dramatically increase the design life of structures.
Module 7
a Corrosion Under Insulation:
This is a very common problem, and yet once the
mechanism is understood, you can make simple
changes to your system which will eliminate the
problem completely.
Module 8
a Corrosion Inhibitors:
One of the simplest ways of increasing asset life is by
reducing corrosion rates such that the life of the
remaining corrosion allowance in your structure can
be dramatically extended. Inhibitors make this
possible. In this module we discuss what inhibitors
are, how they work and how you can implement
them to your system.
Module 9
a Cathodic protection:
You can spend weeks understanding how cathodic
protection works. In this module we discuss the
principles of how it works, as well as looking at the
common problems it can cause.
Module 10
a Coatings:
It is estimated that 70% of the cost of corrosion is
due to the costs associated with applying protective
coatings. In this module we discuss the different
types of coatings, how coatings work and most
importantly how to ensure effective coatings
systems.
Finally we complete the course with a discussion of
* cathodic protec on, inhibitors and materials selec on.
