Corrosion prevention event for engineers and facility managers
By Sandra Rossi | 20 October 2015
The Australasian Corrosion Association (ACA) will host the Corrosion and Prevention 2015 (C&P2015) Conference in Adelaide from November 15-18, 2015. In one stream, asset and facility management and maintenance professionals will benefit from opportunities to hear presentations by, and speak with, corrosion specialists about the importance of design, operation and repair in corrosion control. The second stream will focus on the Oil & Gas industry with technical papers from a cross-section of the industry highlighting how costly corrosion can be for the sector. Seminars and technical papers will provide opportunities to explore best practice in corrosion management, environmental protection techniques, public safety and economics. A panel of industry experts has been assembled by the ACA to discuss the challenges and the importance of maintaining vital infrastructure. Attendees will have the opportunity to ask questions and debate the latest techniques and practices with representatives of water and port authorities, major national consulting companies, suppliers and companies including Santos and Chevron. The P F Thomson Memorial Lecture—the keynote address of every C&P Conference since 1951—will be delivered by Dr Robert Francis covering the latest research into galvanic corrosion. The ACA will also host an Introduction to Corrosion seminar on Tuesday, November 17. This has been designed for both experienced engineers and those new to the industry wanting to learn about, or refresh their knowledge of, metallic corrosion and the means to control it.
