Module Objectives

Module1

Corrosion in the United States

Review the findings, results and suggested actions of the 2002 Corrosion Report. Understand the range and cost of corrosion in the United States with an emphasis on the Water and Wastewater Industry.

Module2

Fundamentals of Corrosion

Learn the fundamentals of corrosion and how to prevent fatal disasters caused by it. Basic principles of chemistry and physics, such as atomic theory and molecular bonding are introduced to explain the science behind the corrosion cell, which is paramount to understanding corrosion.

Module3

Environments of Corrosion

Corrosion rates vary depending on the material and environment. Examine the different environments in which corrosion occurs, the interaction of these environments with material, and the corresponding effects on corrosion rates.

Module4

Engineering Materials

Examine how ductile iron, steel, aluminum, concrete and copper are used in modern engineering projects along with the applications, characteristics and vulnerabilities of each material.

Module5

Forms of Corrosion

Generalized, localized, pitting, crevice and intergranular corrosion types are discussed. Galvanic, erosion, de-alloying, stress, fatigue and temperature based corrosion are also covered; as are the effects, causes and solutions for these various forms of corrosion.

Module6

Methods of Corrosion Control

This module introduces the methods for slowing or preventing corrosion. Learn corrosion mitigation techniques include material section, environment modification, coating application and cathodic protection.

Module7

Economics of Water Corrosion

Gain an understanding of the economics of water corrosion and the challenges corrosion presents to the industry. Detailed investigations cover the costs of water corrosion in pipes, storage tanks, reservoirs, and the impacts of wastewater corrosion.

Module8 Water Corrosion

This module illustrates the physical and chemical properties that cause soil and water to act as corrosive agents. The most common forms of corrosion seen within the water and wastewater sectors are examined along with the mechanisms that accelerate water corrosion.

Module9

Water Corrosion Prevention—Part 1

Learn to investigate how corrosion issues can be addressed through improvements in corrosion management, and inspection and monitor-ing techniques.

Module10

Water Corrosion Prevention—Part 2

Gain a better understanding of the corrosion control strategies for each system component by following the course of water through treat-ment, storage, distribution to the consumer.

Module11 Water Corrosion

Recognize the costs of corrosion in the water system and how they can be reduced through sound financial analysis and better manage-ment control options.

Module12 Wastewater Corrosion

Learn about the various infrastructures and corrosive environments pertaining to the wastewater industry, the process of H2S corrosion, and microbiologically influenced corrosion.

Module13

Wastewater Corrosion Control—Part 1

Learn material selection for corrosion control, corrosion control in each treatment process and sulfate corrosion control.

Module14

Wastewater Corrosion Control—Part 2

Gain a better understanding of inspection technologies for sewer systems, corrosion prevention and rehabilitation considerations and considerations of maintaining and repairing a compromised system.

Module15

Wastewater Corrosion Control Economics

Learn costs of corrosion control methods and how to perform a cost analysis to select the most cost-effective corrosion control option.
