Refinery Corrosion in Sulfuric Acid (H2SO4) Alkylation Units
About the eLearning Course
This eLearning course discusses the sources of corrosion, types of corrosion, and mechanisms for preventing or mitigating their impact on sulfuric acid alkylation units, including the corrosion mechanisms and their impact on equipment and instruments. It discusses corrosion-preventing actions that can be applied during the design stage and control actions during normal operation, routine, and special maintenance activities. Effective corrosion control minimizes its destructive impact, thereby enhancing the operating cycles of process units, optimizing maintenance costs, and ensuring safer and more profitable operations of refining installations.
Target Audience
Process engineers, planning and economics engineers, inspection engineers, HSE engineers, maintenance engineers and supervisors, laboratory managers and supervisors, turnaround planners and operation supervisors.
