An overview of corrosion in various industries
Due to the climate and climate of Iran, there are many corrosive areas in the country. Persian Gulf and Oman Sea are among the most corrosive waters in the world. In the center of Iran, the desert and industrial environments and in the north of the rain-air atmosphere have provided a good environment for the intensification of corrosion of the equipment.
As it was said, corrosion is a phenomenon that occurs in most industries and environments, so no industry can be spared from corrosion. As a result, corrosion management should be considered in all industries.
Corrosion management
Corrosion management is an attempt to organize corrosion activities and control methods that have found a special status in recent workshops.
With the increasing proliferation of anti-corrosion technologies, choosing the right methods to control corrosion in a particular unit, the need to implement a codified program called corrosion management seems essential. Corrosion management is a collection of methods and solutions that are applied in a corrosion prevention system to optimize economically corrosion control methods.
According to the Buttel Institute, with a simple application of existing knowledge and technology, one-third of the corrosion costs of the industry are avoided.
Another point that is often neglected is that indirect damage to corrosion in some cases is far greater than direct damage.
For example: Replacing a centrifuge pump does not only cost you a piece of repair, but also disconnects the flow in the pump re-starting process and the cost of the wage.
In addition, damage to materials and contaminants caused by it causes many problems with regard to safety and the environment.
* Prediction of equipment failure due to corrosion and its cost estimation can greatly reduce the damage caused.
** Corrosion management provides preemptive methods and strategic steps in two non-technical and technical areas.
A. Corrosion management in non-technical areas
1) Increase awareness of the huge cost of corrosion and save on these costs and apply the correct technology and reduce costs.
Hence, many corrosion problems result from a lack of awareness of corrosion management and the responsibility of persons in the exchange of inspection, repair and maintenance of the engineering system.
2) Changing policies, regulations, standards and management practices to reduce corrosion costs
(3) continuous improvement and training of employees for the introduction and recognition of corrosion control
4) change and correct mischief and false belief in corrosion weaponry and make new decisions to prevent this phenomenon.
B) Corrosion management in technical areas
Preventive strategy is of great importance in technical areas.
1) Use advanced design methods to better manage corrosion
2) Improve the life expectancy prediction techniques and evaluate their performance through familiarization with new corrosion technologies.
In summary, the advantages of using corrosion management in industries and industrial plants are:
1) Reduce costs
2) Reducing injuries and dangers
3) Decrease in unpredictable device stops
4) Increase the productivity and availability of devices
The Role of Technology in Corrosion Management:
Using corrosion techniques and new technological developments in corrosion management, corrosion can be controlled in many industries, which requires a strong awareness and determination to prevent and control corrosion among engineers and corrosion experts.
Correct and accurate application of corrosion management and the use of new technologies in this area can prevent annual losses of billions in damages in industrial centers.
Different researchers and researchers have introduced various types of corrosion as the most important corrosion mechanisms. Therefore, the same classification for types of corrosion by authors and researchers is not provided.
