Pradip Goswami, P.Eng, IWE, The instructor has over 30 years of experience as a Welding, Metallurgical & Corrosion Engineering Specialist in Materials Selection, Welding engineering and Life/Integrity Management of critical equipments and Pressure Piping for Oil and Gas, Refining, Petrochemical, Power Plant (Nuclear and Non Nuclear). These experience profile is built on the past and present experience in the above areas. Presently the author is actively involved in Reliability and NDE/ Condition monitoring and weld repair of many of the above equipments and high-pressure piping as mentioned above in Nuclear & Conventional Power Plants in Canada. The piping systems where the instructor has extreme familiarity and experiences are:- For further details and up to date terms and conditions, visit www.tuvakademie.net\tac1.pdf n High temperature steam piping in ALL Power plants-Involv- Duration n Service Water Piping-Involving Microbiological Corrosion. 5 days - 08:00am until 03.30pm daily Location & Date Dubai, 19 - 23 October 2014 Participation Fee US$ 3,875 per participant Your Contact Ms. Annie Cabarles Tel: +971 2 4411148 Email: [email protected] ing management of Creep and Fatigue damages. n Feed water Piping in ALL Power plants-Flow Assisted Corrosion and Corrosion Fatigue High pressure Gas Transmission Piping- Involving Microbiological Corrosion n High Pressure Anhydrous Ammonia Piping- Involving Stress Corrosion Cracking issues. n High Pressure Acid Piping:- Involving severe corrosion and flow induced erosion. n Often integrity management program of these piping involves state of art NDE technique such as phased array UT. The life/integrity management of above piping involves sound application of ASME PCC-2, PCC-3, ASME B-31.1, B-31.3 ,API -570, and EPRI guidelines. Also API RP-579/ASME-FFS Code (Fitness for Service) is applied for piping , whenever required. All these piping systems mentioned here involves C-Mn steel, Various Low Alloy Steels such as P11, P22, P23, Grade-91 Steel. Also the other materials of construction are Alloy-20, 6Mo alloys and Duplex S.S.
