Corrosion is the primary degradation mechanism for linear and vertical assets in water and wastewater systems. It has been estimated that the water/wastewater industry accounts for $58.5 billion lost to corrosion. The total cost of corrosion in the United States is estimated at 3.1% of US GDP, $780B. To reduce the cost of corrosion, active steps can be taken throughout the asset life cycle.
The Corrosion Control and Infrastructure Renewal in the Water and Wastewater Industry course will cover the principles of corrosion chemistry, mechanisms, and control with specific focus on materials and systems in water and wastewater pipe, facilities, and appurtenances throughout the asset lifecycle.
Join the Corrosion Control and Infrastructure Renewal in the Water and Wastewater Industry course to gain the knowledge and tools needed to combat corrosion, extend asset life, and reduce costly failures.
