The efficient use of chemical analysis and instrument technique are very imperative tools to solve any laboratory problem. The course provides laboratory analysis methods and troubleshooting techniques of most used instruments in any laboratory. In addition, it provides elegant tools for obtaining qualitative and quantitative data techniques with practice work on analysis Software. The aim of this course is to enrich and update the knowledge and skills of the participants for understanding the problem of chemical analysis and implementing analysis troubleshooting.

Objective

The Course will enable Participants to:

• Impart the technique of solving problem in the laboratory.
• Understand and apply practically the instruments troubleshooting.
• Know the difficult task of judging the accuracy and precision of experimental data and how these judgments can be sharpened by the application of statistical methods.
• Understand the tools and techniques for achieving process analysis, qualitative methods, cause and effect diagrams and calibration graph.
• Explain the on-bottom stability by describing the design of weight coatings and identifying the impact of climate change on pipeline stability and the additional provisions on bottom stability
• Determine the various subsea pipeline failures and the different methods of repair of damaged subsea pipelines and explain the concept of cathodic protection including the design codes, methods of CP surveying, analysis of data & coating condition
• Describe internal corrosion comprising its morphology, inspection, monitoring and evaluation, identify the various types of pigging and explain their features, functions and limitations
• Implement the statistical methods used in corrosion data evaluation and the various procedures used in the prevention of corrosion
• Carryout methods of cathodic protection retrofitting and demonstrate the calculation method to evaluate protection limits

Audience

The course is planned for chemist, lab technicians, chemical engineers, instrumental engineers and lab supervisors/managers.
