Corrosion Control in the Refining Industry
2026-08-03 - 2026-08-07 | 305-A, Galleria, Hiranandani, Powai, Mumbai – 400076, INDIA
The Refining Corrosion Technologist certification is targeted at individuals who are responsible for identifying, locating and controlling corrosion in refinery environment. Those applying for this certification should possess an understanding of refinery process unit-specific corrosion mechanisms. From the proximity of assets to salt water to the production and storage of hazardous chemicals, refineries pose unique challenges that require specialized training to combat corrosion. The course work covers the effects of corrosion on the production environment and addresses methods to implement corrosion control throughout the full lifecycle, from material selection and design to maintenance.
In the Corrosion Control in the Refining industry course, get an overview of refinery process units and specific process descriptions, and learn to recognize corrosion and metallurgical problems that occur in process units. With this course, you gain valuable information to be used on the job.

Pipeline Integrity Management & Corrosion Mitigation
2026-08-20 - 2026-08-21 | Hotel Crowne Plaza, (Mayur Vihar-Delhi) Noida., District Centre, 13 B, Mayur Place, Mayur Vihar,, New Delhi, Delhi, 110091, India
AMPP India Chapter (NACE International India Section) is organizing the Educational Training Program on “Pipeline Integrity Management & Corrosion Mitigation” scheduled from 20 August (Thursday) & 21 August (Friday) 2026 at Hotel Crowne Plaza, Mayur Vihar-Delhi, Noida.
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 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 pipeline such as In-Line Inspection (ILl), 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. Testing and Inspections covering under Integrity Management. This will also dig deeper into the pivotal role of Coatings, Cathodic Protection (P), AC/D Interference detection and mitigation and how it related to overall pipeline integrity.
TOPICS TO BE COVERED – TRAINING PROGRAM

Corcon 2026
2026-10-31 00:00 - 23:59 (Asia/Kolkata) | Noida, Utter Pradesh, India
The world is rapidly moving towards developing sustainable infrastructure with the focus on corrosion free materials for effective optimizing corrosion controls and reduction in lifecycle costs. Corrosion- control and mitigation at the initial design and construction stage of assets is more rewarding in the long run-in terms of increased safety, performance, asset life, environment protection and operational cost-effectiveness. Overall, the global cost o f corrosion is estimated to be in trillions. In India corrosion is believed to impact approx. 4 % of the country’s GDP and the ever-growing environmental threat calls for urgent and appropriate measures. CORCON, the annual conference and expo o n corrosion science and engineering held in India, is the largest event of its kind in Asia, attracting participation from academic and research institutions, public and private sector organizations including defense establishments and professionals. This event offers an excellent platform for exchange of information on matters concerning corrosion, learning about existing and upcoming products and technologies and networking. As the world faces more and more challenges with ageing infrastructure, i t is imperative for advocates of corrosion mitigation t o unite and address the problem. Each year over 1000 industry leaders from around the world come together a t CORCON, i n an effort to tackle corrosion issues, and inform participants of the latest solutions and methods.
