Oil Refineries
2026-03-30 - 2026-03-31 | Utter Pradesh
Failure is not an option. In high risk, high-value industries, such as oil and gas production, refining, nuclear and thermal power, aviation, shipping etc., corrosion failures have many repercussions: loss of money, loss of production, safety and environment damage. Best industry practices are implemented to avert or minimize corrosion failures. But failures still happen. Wise men say, “We should learn from others’ failures”. Failure is an opportunity to learn.
The proposed program covers Case Studies in Oil Refineries, describing the failures, analyses of such failures, and remedial actions. Failure investigation is an intricate exercise, mainly because of the variety in practices, operations and events. This program will not only teach participants the reasons for various failures, but will also enable understanding the methodology of failure analyses for appropriate corrective actions.
WHO SHOULD ATTEND
Personnel engaged in refining industries, design, metallurgical investigations, process engineers, operations officers, monitoring and maintenance planners, service company representatives who support refiners, corrosion and equipment engineers, metallurgists, coating inspectors, inspection supervisors, material engineers and academic institutes.

Microbiological Corrosion In Oil & Gas Industry
2026-03-30 - 2026-03-31 | Utter Pradesh
Microbiologically Influenced Corrosion (MIC) has been reported to influence many industry operations. it can accelerate most of corrosion, including uniform, pitting, crevice, galvanic, intergranular, and stress corrosion cracking.
The major microbial problem in the oil and gas industry is in storage tanks, transportation pipelines and other water networks, which can lead to loss of product quality, formation of sludge, and failure of pipeline network, and storage tanks. A fine film of water on the tank surfaces, or a few micro-litres in the fuel, is enough to allow growth of microorganisms, and cell metabolism, once begun, results in the production of biodegradable products and thus the cycle continues. Survival of microbial population on hydrocarbons even in the absence of oxygen is a severe threat to the hydrocarbon industry.
In order to address the problem of microbiological corrosion in a systematic manner, it is essential to understand the microbial contaminations and their effect on metallic corrosion w.r.t. the operating conditions and accordingly develop a robust treatment plan along with monitoring techniques.
WHO SHOULD ATTEND
Personnel engaged in oil & gas Technical, Operations, Maintenance and Inspection Team, Researchers, Academic Institutes, Business personnel of Corrosion Monitoring Equipment, Pipeline Operations and Maintenance Teams. Microbiologists and Biotechnologists. Water Treatment, Refinery, Internal / External Corrosion Engineers, Additives & Paint manufacturers.

Fundamentals of Coating & Lining
2026-03-28 - 2026-03-29 | Utter Pradesh
Protective Coatings are the most widely used method to control and/or mitigate corrosion. Protective coatings are the first line of defence against the costly effects of corrosion and are designed to prevent or limit contact between a structure’s surface (usually steel or concrete) and its corrosive environment. When a coating system is properly selected and installed, it is able to achieve its designed service life with minimal maintenance and repair. The majority of coating failures are caused by faulty surface preparation, application technique, or selection of the wrong coating for the intended service environment.
Rework and replacement are expensive and can be avoided by good practices and understanding the standards and recommendations of the trained coating inspector so that problems can be identified before the project moves on to the next step. This reduces the potential for coating failures that can result in costly repairs, downtime, environmental issues, and health hazards.
WHO SHOULD ATTEND:
This course thoroughly trains coating professionals to properly understand the technical aspects of surface preparation and application of protective coatings on a variety of structures in any industry.
Personnel who are Contractors, Fabricators – Project Supervisors, QA/QC personnel, Blasters & Painters, Foremen & Contractor Supervisors, Pipeline Engineers, End User/Paint Contractors, Supervisors, etc.
It is designed to give the students a path for continued professional development that can open the doors to more job opportunities.

Cathodic Protection and Survey Techniques
2026-03-06 - 2026-03-07 | The Fern Residency Hotel, Ahmedabad
Cathodic Protection (CP) is most important technique for protection of underground pipes and metallic structures from corrosion. Corrosion is responsible for metal loss thus weakening the structure, which results into premature failure of underground structure. Thus causing huge economic loss, supply disruptions, environmental pollution besides loss of the company’s reputation and penal actions. CP surveys involve measuring the electrical potential of the structure to verify that it is adequately protected by a CP system, often using techniques like direct current voltage gradient (DCVG) to identify coating defects and assess the effectiveness of the system.
TOPICS TO BE COVERED

Basics of Corrosion

OBJECTIVE – Pipelines are the most efficient, safe and economic mode of transport for Oil and Gas, Hydrocarbons and Water. Rightly considered the lifeline of modern industrial infrastructure, steel pipeline and vulnerable to atmospheric corrosion above ground and electrolytic corrosion in underground / marine environments. Pipeline Corrosion can result in colossal losses and create safety hazards for people, assets and the environment. India currently has nearly 69,800 km of operational cross-country pipelines for products transportation, with an additional 35,000 km under construction by early to end-2025.
Pipeline Integrity Management & Corrosion Mitigation techniques are essential for maintaining a safe and reliable pipeline asset. Based on the operational requirements, a pipeline may be assessed with a combination of various integrity tools during the life of the pipeline such as In-Line Inspection (ILI), Direct Assessment (DA), and Pressure Testing. Each integrity assessment method complements the other and do not have identical performances; rather each has an advantage over others. Essentially, there are three ways to confirm the physical condition of pipelines; Monitoring, and Inspections covering under Integrity Management. This will also dig deeper into the pivotal role of Coatings, Cathodic Protection (CP), AC/DC Interference detection and mitigation and how it related to overall pipeline integrity.

CORCON-2025: Landmark Event in the International Corrosion Conference Arena at Jaipur
2025-10-01 00:00 - 2025-11-30 00:00 | Utter Pradesh
CORCON over the last 31 years, has emerged as Asia’s largest and most prestigious corrosion conference on the subject of corrosion science and engineering.
“Our nation is building infrastructure at an unprecedented pace! India plans to spend nearly Rs 143,000 crore on infrastructure between the years 2024 and 2030. The Union Budget of 2025-26 alone has marked a record Rs 11.21 lakh crore, which is around 3.1% of our GDP. This is towards capital investment in infrastructure alone. Over the last decade, capital expenditure on infrastructure has grown five-fold, and by 2050, India will require around US$2.4 trillion in urban infrastructure investments,” said Mr Dipen Jhaveri, Chair, AMPP India Chapter. He was speaking at the inaugural function of CORCON 2025 at the Jaipur Exhibition and Convention Centre on October 6, 2025. “These facts make one thing clear, that as India builds more pipelines, refineries, petrochemical units, steel plants, power plants, and fertilizer units, more water. With systems and urban infrastructure, the demand for robust corrosion protection technologies has never been greater.
“CORCON brings together the best minds and organizations to address these challenges,” said Mr Jhaveri. “CORCON has grown over the last three decades into Asia’s largest corrosion conference, serving as a global platform for enhancing knowledge and best practices, showcasing innovations and technologies, building collaborations across industries, academia, and research, and also inspiring the next generation of corrosion professionals.”
This year, the 31 edition of CORCON hosted over 800 delegates, 80-plus exhibitors, and a remarkable lineup of eminent speakers from around India and the world.
