Corrosion is a natural inevitable phenomenon that has been one of the biggest concerns for every industry. It can raise
serious damage that can affect the safety and reliability of structures. Fleming Gulf is coming up with The LATAM Corrosion
Conference, CORRCON 2015, in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, that would address some of the major challenges and best practices
in the wide discipline of corrosion. The conference would highlight comprehensive sessions under coatings, corrosion
monitoring and modeling, corrosion inhibitors, internal corrosion, external corrosion and pipeline integrity.
• Exhaustive agenda reviewed by the advisory board, that addresses the major challenges in the corrosion sector
• Devising optimum corrosion control strategies and their implementation
• Case Studies on major failures due to corrosion and identifying ways to manage them
• Networking platform to interact with the key industry leaders from top companies
• Interactive Panel Discussion on formulating effective prevention strategies to mitigate the cost of corrosion and moving
from reactive to proactive corrosion management models
