A21 NACE INTERNATIONAL: VOL. 56, NO. 10 MATERIALS PERFORMANCE OCTOBER 2017 Forums MONDAY, APRIL 16 Coating Technology & Systems of the U.S. Navy Presented by: Cameron Miller, James Martin, Colton Spicer, and Jimmy Tagert, U.S. Naval Research Laboratory This forum will provide an overview of coatings and related technology systems being used or developed by the U.S. Navy for corrosion control. The forum will inform industry of the technologies being employed and looked at by the Navy and provide the opportunity to interact with commercial industry on common challenges. Specifically, the forum will present the following subject areas: § Overview of Navy coatings and qualification processes § Thermal spray coatings and testing methods § Simulating real-world operational environments in laboratory testing § Coating removal and surface prep technologies (e.g., laser ablation/texturing, heat induction, etc.) § Inspection and nondestructive evaluation tools/technologies (e.g., in situ 3-D profilometry, thermography, etc.) How the Corrosion Industry is Revolutionizing Corrosion Management - IMPACT Plus Presented by: Elaine Bowman, NACE International Institute The most significant outcome of the IMPACT Study, which was launched by NACE International in March 2016, was the need to change how corrosion decisions are made. To meet this need, the IMPACT Portal was developed as a set of online asset management tools that offers a common language and structure needed to ensure communication throughout all levels of an organization. This forum will demonstrate how an organization can utilize IMPACT Plus to assess the maturity of their corrosion management processes through the Corrosion Process Framework and Corrosion Management Maturity Model (CMMM). Then, in a reference library, find hundreds of sources of information to close performance gaps identified through the CMMM. Water Forum Presented by: Robert Boswell, Boswell's Consulting Testing Services The Water Forum provides a venue for those involved in the water and wastewater industries to learn about new technologies, lessons learned, and industry best practices. Presenters come from a diverse range of backgrounds and skills sets and have over 100 combined years of experience in the industry. The content of the forum is applicable to both beginners and veterans of the water and wastewater industries. The War of Middle East and Africa Against Corrosion Presented by: Gasem Fallatah, NACE International There are a lot of misconceptions toward the Middle East and Africa. This forum will expose the biggest threat in this region: the attack of corrosion. These regions are exposed to a very harsh environment, such as extremely high temperature, high salinity, and high humidity. This forum aims to present the real face of Middle East and Africa and show their battle against corrosion. The first part of the forum will present case studies on specific corrosion challenges in the area. Corrosion experts from the Middle East and Africa will reveal evidence of corrosion and their ways of controlling it given the harsh environment. As corrosion is one of the biggest issues in this area, businesses are being developed to help control this issue. The second part of the forum will present the development of businesses in these areas. Leaders for business development will share some information on the current market needs and ways on how to penetrate the industries. TUESDAY, APRIL 17 Coating Asset Management – The State of the Industry Presented by: D. Terry Greenfield, CorroMetrics Services, Inc. To achieve the economic value of an installed protective coating system, the designed life cycle must be realized. This goal can be achieved through an effective coatings management program. This forum will be comprised of coatings industry professionals that have implemented programs to better manage their protective coatings assets. Each panel member will present about their program and how they were able to implement the program while sharing successes and challenges. Content will include maintenance philosophies, condition surveys, and data management systems. The panel members will be available for questions. PHMSA Presented by: Kevin Garrity, Mears Group and Alan Mayberry, PHMSA NACE 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 the latest developments Battle of Corrosion in Latin America Presented by: Jorge Canto, Corrosion Y Proteccion; Fabian Sanchez, OCP Ecuador; Ricardo Izquierdo, SLOM; Zehbour Panossian, ABRACO; and Elaine Bowman, NACE past president. We find particular mountains, rivers, and forests in Latin America are a challenge for many corrosion combat projects. Speakers will share their experiences in each of these environments fighting against corrosion. Latin America faces many similar professional challenges in the corrosion field as the rest of the world. From Mexico to Argentina, including Central America, Brazil, Bolivia, Colombia, Ecuador, Panama, Peru, and Venezuela, growth as well as extensive industrialization have been seen. This has brought the risks of corrosion of different types to the various industries. Local Latin American professionals representing various countries and industries discuss how the available knowledge and technologies have been used to combat the impact of corrosion in the southern continent. With the flavor of the different cultures and countries, and their challenging geographies, the experience could be at times creative, other times intriguing, and above all interesting both from the professional and the cultural perspectives. Finally, a case study of IMPACT from a Mexican operator will be shared by NACE Past President Elaine Bowman. 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 www.nacecorrosion.org.
