Corrosion and Microbiologically Influenced Corrosion Control

This course focuses on raw water corrosion fundamentals and on identification, monitoring, and mitigation of cooling water system corrosion. This course is a practical starting point for more-specialized courses on corrosion. Course includes a reference manual.

Topics Covered

  • Fundamentals of corrosion
  • Differences between general corrosion, pitting corrosion, under-deposit corrosion and MIC
  • Corrosion mechanisms and their effect on components and systems
  • Appropriate techniques to identify and mitigate corrosion in raw water systems
  • Case studies
  • Corrosion monitoring

Who Should Attend

Mechanical design engineers, system engineers, chemistry staff and project engineers who seek a foundational understanding of corrosion and MIC.

Corrosion Can Occur Anywhere

Microbiologically-influenced corrosion (MIC) is an ever-present threat to nuclear plant service water systems. This course will provide the student with practical application of corrosion theory and how to monitor for, and mitigate the effects of MIC.
