What separates a refinery that runs safely for decades from one that suffers a catastrophic, headline-making failure? More often than not, the answer lies in understanding damage mechanisms before they turn into disasters. This comprehensive course delivers an in-depth mastery of API RP 571, the industry-standard reference for damage mechanisms affecting fixed equipment in the refining and petrochemical industry. Designed for inspection engineers, reliability engineers, materials specialists, corrosion professionals,
and anyone pursuing API certification, this course unpacks every major damage mechanism—from sulfidation, naphthenic acid corrosion, and high-temperature hydrogen attack (HTHA) to chloride stress corrosion cracking, sulfide stress cracking, and wet H2S damage along with their root causes, detection methods, inspection strategies, and proven mitigation approaches.
