Management of Corrosion in Chemicals and Energy

Corrosion management is a key challenge in both the chemicals and oil & gas industries. Tackling the widespread impact of the costly and pervasive problem of corrosion often demands thoughtful solutions based on unique insights. In this whitepaper, we present four different case studies highlighting corrosion prevention and mitigation methods using engineering and materials knowledge.
