Instructor Led Corrosion Training

The Boiler MBA ... Seminar FACT =>Tube failures, resulting from erosion, corrosion, short term overheating, fatigue, long term overheating, or manufacturing defects may be considered the most common source of water-tube boiler downtime. FACT =>It is generally acknowledged that a single tube failure, requiring an estimated four days of repair work, can result in significant loss of revenue, apart from the  more...

Non-Destructive Evaluation The field of Nondestructive Testing (NDT) is a very broad, interdisciplinary field that plays a critical role in assuring that structural components and systems perform their function in a reliable and cost effective fashion. NDT technicians and engineers define and implement tests that locate and characterize material conditions and flaws that might otherwise cause planes to crash, reactors to  more...

Plant Life Management - Ageing Degradation Mechanisms Ageing is not about how old your equipment is ita ™s about what you know about its condition, and how thata ™s changing over time. Beginning with the fundamentals, the objective of this series of seminars is to provide practical information regarding materials degradation and the consequences for ageing plants. a To extend maintenance period. a To mitigate potential failures  more...

Degradation of aging plants ...ct materials due to external causes such as poor designs, corrosion or improper operation of the equipment in which the material is used. Under one set of service and operating conditions a particular defect may be inconsequential and extremely unlikely to cause or contribute to a failure. Under another set of conditions, the same defect can be extremely hazardous and cause instant  more...

Source of Failures This module reviews a selection of industrial failures and explains how errors or defects can lead to failures. a Errors in assembly. a Service abnormalities a Ductile a Brittle mode. a Inadequate or improper maintenance. a Unintended or inadvertent factors. a Material Related. a Fabrication defects. a Improper processing. a Deficiencies in design  more...

Corrosion damage assessment for Risk base Inspection Part 2 This corrosion module aims to provide the participants with an understanding of why and how corrosion occurs, the metallurgical and environmental factors influencing corrosion, and practical methods of corrosion control. Participants will be able to grasp the basic concepts related to corrosion, metallurgy, and to apply the knowledge in their workplace  more...

Risk Based Inspection Its utility is based on the rough premise that 10% of the equipment in a process contributes 90% of the risk. Consequently, if this 10% of the equipment can be identified, testing and inspection can be focused on it rather than low-risk items. This approach is clearly preferable to the usual method of treating all equipment equally, regardless of its risk contribution.  more...

Understanding Boiler Tube Failures Part 2 Have you ever repaired a tube leak and put the boiler back in service, only to be forced off-line by another leak? Identifying and correcting the root cause is essential. To ensure low availability loss and to eliminate repeat failures, a large number of utilities often misdiagnose BTF mechanisms.  more...

Under standing Boiler Tube Failures part 1 Boiler tube failures are the leading cause of steam plant non-reliability. A tube failure may cause a forced outage, usually at the most inopportune time. The outage results in lost production and lost revenue. A reduction in the frequency of tube failures can be achieved by understanding the root cause of the failure and taking steps to eliminate the problem. How can you focus these efforts?  more...

A systematic Approach to Failure Analysis Have you ever been handed a failure investigation and were not quite sure all the steps required to complete the investigation? Did you had to review a failure investigation and wondered if all the aspects had been properly covered? Or perhaps you read a failure investigation and wondered what to do next? Learn the steps to organize a failure investigation and ensure success.  more...

Wear of Engineering Materials and Protection 18 CEUs Daily Schedule 8: 00am - Registration and coffee (1st day only) 8: 30am - Session begins 4: 30pm - Adjournment Breakfast, two refreshment breaks and lunch are provided daily. Course description Wear is known as the material loss occurring when two surfaces rub each other, which is one of main failure processes in various industrial sectors. As an example, wear results in significant  more...
