A22 OCTOBER 2016 MATERIALS PERFORMANCE NACE INTERNATIONAL: VOL. 55, NO. 10 Forums Please note that the dates given for these forums are tentative. The lengths of some forums may be shortened. For the most up-to-date listing, visit nacecorrosion.org. Monday, March 27 Future of Regulations and Standards—Performance Based Measures vs. Prescriptive Measures Presented by: Oliver Moghissi, DNV GL North America Oil & Gas Over the past several years, standards-developing organizations and regulators have seen a powerful conversation on the use of performance-based measures vs. prescriptive measures. Join policy makers and industry leaders as they discuss the future direction of regulations and standards. Corrosion in the Water/Wastewater Infrastructure Presented by: Robert Boswell, Boswell Consulting and Testing Services, Ltd.; Graham Bell, HDR; Brenden Sheehan and Steven Fox, City of San Diego; Gwen Wood Chabane; Allen Cox; Ian McFatridge; and Doug Kanis This forum will discuss the challenges, successes, and obstacles that face city municipalities and water utilities in their efforts to continue providing safe, clean water post the Flint, Michigan crisis. The speakers will talk about the following subjects: § Comparison and contrast of corrosion control in the water and wastewater industries with the rest of the corrosion control world § Corrosion control case studies from the city of San Siego, California § Review of the contributions of corrosion to chromium in drinking water § Corrosion and its control, polyethylene encasement (v-bio™), for cast and ductile iron pipelines § Case studies of the use and abuse of polyurethane coatings in water and wastewater environments § The use of an engineered software tool for surveying asset conditions § Interior and exterior corrosion, prevention and mitigation, project specifications and plans for rehabilitation, and reducing negative impact on the environment during tank recoating projects. PHMSA Pipeline Safety Forum Presented by: Kevin Garrity, Mears Group, Inc., and Alan Mayberry, PHMSA NACE International members play a critical role in protecting the public from potential catastrophic failures of liquid/gas pipelines. Join policymakers, regulators, and industry experts for a discussion on how PHMSA and other agencies address corrosion in pipeline safety. The forum will provide both a regulator and industry perspective on best pipeline safety practices and latest developments. Corrosion Knowledge Management (CKM): The Role of Company's Strategic Management in the Management of Corrosion Presented by: Reza Javaherdashti, Parscorrosion Consultants; Gerhardus Koch, DNV GL; and Melissa Gould, DNV GL Corrosion management (CM) has been so far taken as the best way of dealing with corrosion. CM mainly consists of, but not is limited to, applying methodologies such as cathodic protection (CP), coatings, materials selection, and the like to control the risk of corrosion. However, what these methods all by default are lacking is the important factor of humans, as reflected in strategy management, economical-ecological models for corrosion, and the organic bond between the management resources and the necessity to program them to control corrosion. The "human factor" in dealing with corrosion is not only limited to recognizing issues such as human errors, such as those applied in the application of coating or design of CP. It is much more important than that. It can cover issues from the interaction between corrosionists and non-corrosionists (including managers with little or no background in corrosion as well as professional engineers with backgrounds other than corrosion) to the choice of selecting the best model of two existing models for corrosion consulting departments ("consultant-based" and "outsourcing" models) to handle CM more effectively. In other words, the human factor and its vast importance in both design and application of CM strategy and tactics cannot be ignored. Tuesday, March 28 IMPACT Study: What's New and Next Presented by: Elaine Bowman, NACE International, and Pierre Crevolin, HDIM Protective Coatings Since the 2016 launch of the benchmark IMPACT study, new information has been gathered and analyzed for several geographic areas of the world. This new information will be shared. Additionally, new tools that will help owners of assets direct their corrosion management programs will be demonstrated and shared with forum participants. Corrosion Knowledge Management of Microbiologically Influenced Corrosion: New Frontiers for Old Problems Presented by: Reza Javaherdashti, Parscorrosion Consultants; Brenda Little, U.S. Naval Research Laboratory; and Pierangela Cristiani, Ricerca sul Sistema Energetico – RSE S.p.A. While there are a lot of advances in both understanding and treatment of microbiologically influenced corrosion (MIC), many in industry are still applying the old-fashioned way of recognition (mostly, culture-based filed tests) and treatment. Also, some routine industrial practices such as hydrotesting and application of MFL during intelligent pigging may lead to MIC. This forum will focus on new findings for recognition and treatment of MIC.
