Program Details

Detailed information about this program

Corrosion in refining facilities presents unique challenges - from saltwater proximity and hazardous chemical exposure to high-temperature service and complex metallurgy. This course teaches you to identify corrosion mechanisms specific to process units, understand electrochemical principles, evaluate corrosive environments, and apply proven control methods through design, materials selection, environmental modification, protective coatings, and cathodic/anodic protection. Your purchase includes access to the Corrosion Control in the Refining Industry course, helping you build the practical and technical foundation required for the Refining Corrosion Technologist Certification exam (delivered via Pearson VUE CBT). Successful completion signals your readiness to tackle refinery corrosion control from design through maintenance. Prerequisite There are no required prerequisites for this course. Recommended: 1-2 years of work experience and Basic Corrosion course

Key competencies developed through this program

Auto-populated·from NSX Competency Framework

Mastery: developing (Level 2)(based on Certification)

  • Failure analysis investigations — analyze product failure data and laboratory results with limited oversight to identify probable causes and propose corrective actions in a manufacturing or R&D setting.
  • Process control procedures — design and execute routine testing sequences, adjusting parameters based on observed results within established engineering frameworks.
  • Material performance monitoring — evaluate deterioration trends over time using analytical software and document findings for project records in an industrial environment.
  • Quality assurance activities — conduct and interpret tests on raw materials and finished products, applying accepted standards to render pass/fail determinations independently.
  • Technical and economic trade-off assessments — evaluate specifications against cost and processing constraints to support design decisions on moderately complex product development projects.
  • Metal alloy modification procedures — apply thermal and mechanical treatments to achieve targeted property outcomes, referencing process parameters established by senior engineers.
  • Fabrication and joining method selection — determine suitable techniques for standard material combinations by applying engineering judgment in a production or prototype development context.
  • Analytical and CAD software — use intermediate functions to model material behavior and visualize component designs in support of engineering analyses.
  • Engineering reports and technical summaries — write clear, well-structured documents communicating test results and recommendations to both technical and non-technical stakeholders.
  • Junior technical staff — provide day-to-day guidance on laboratory procedures and data collection methods within an assigned project team.
