Basic Function:

 

• Provides expertise and assumes responsibility for areas related to corrosion monitoring and control in Abu Dhabi Refinery including cross country pipelines, and Mussafah terminal. 

• Reviews the metallurgy of the equipment and piping and makes recommendations for upgrading as required. 

• Reviews the operating conditions to assess and monitor corrosive conditions and evaluates the material performance in corrosive streams.

 

Work Performed:

 

• Conducts inspection, corrosion monitoring and corrosion control for the plant equipment, storage tanks and pipelines to ensure integrity and reliability of ADRD equipment. 

• Prepares periodic corrosion reports and maintains updated inspection management system. 

• Reviews the existing cathodic protection system design, highlights problems and suggests improvement to ensure protection of all respective structures / equipment at ADRD. 

• Reviews the inspection / corrosion observations and analyses the same after turnaround and on-stream inspections.

• Identifies causes of corrosion and failure and makes necessary recommendations. 

• Carries out failure analysis and failure investigation in order to enhance safety and integrity of the plant. 

• Supervises the cathodic protection system upkeep and monitoring of piping, tanks, marine and concrete structures. Updates / prepares the records and inspection files for the plant and equipment. 

• Maintains updated inspection management system. 

• Reviews the existing corrosion monitoring tools and advises upgrading as required to ensure effective corrosion monitoring 

• Reviews the corrosion control policies / procedures and upgrades the same as required to ensure effective corrosion control.

• Reviews the metallurgy for the modification and major projects. Updates procedures and specifications related to corrosion management & inspection activities and recommends repairs/operating parameters to extend the life of equipment and piping.

• Carries out on-site metallography using replica technique to monitor microstructures; evaluates microstructure condition and issues reports. 

• Carries out thorough and detailed review of all ADRD units to define the corrosion loops and carries out detailed study to meet the requirements of Risk- Based Inspections.
