AMPP INDIA CHAPTER

AMPP India Chapter (hosted by NACE International India Section (NIIS)) was established in 1992. AMPP India Chapter is one of the largest and most active sections of AMPP through its significant efforts for the promotion of corrosion awareness, protection and control of corrosion in India. With over 1000 members, AMPP India Chapter has organized over 220 certification courses on CIP Level 1, Level 2, Peer Review, CIP 2 Emphasis, Nuclear Power Plant course, O-CAT, PCS 2, Basic Corrosion, Direct Assessment, Internal Corrosion for Pipeline, Refinery Corrosion and Cathodic Protection 1, 2 & 3 of AMPP. It has also organized more than 275 educational corrosion awareness programs and hosted 31 annual corrosion conferences. To commemorate Corrosion Awareness Day, AMPP India Chapter awards individuals and institutions for their contributions to corrosion awareness and developments in the field of corrosion science and technology. The AMPP India Chapter sponsors five student chapters. AMPP student chapters had organized “CORSYM” international corrosion conference for students. AMPP is committed to enhance the quality and range of its services and activities in the field of corrosion awareness and dissemination of knowledge on corrosion, its protection and control in India and worldwide.

CORCON: (Corrosion Conference & Expo)

The world is rapidly moving towards developing sustainable infrastructure with the focus on corrosion free materials for effective optimizing corrosion controls and reduction in lifecycle costs. Corrosioncontrol and mitigation at the initial design and construction stage of assets is more rewarding in the long run-in terms of increased safety, performance, asset life, environment protection and operational cost-effectiveness. Overall, the global cost of corrosion is estimated to be in trillions. In India corrosion is believed to impact approx. 4% of the country’s GDP and the ever-growing environmental threat calls for urgent and appropriate measures.

CORCON, the annual conference and expo on corrosion science and engineering held in India, is the largest event of its kind in Asia, attracting participation from academic and research institutions, public and private sector organizations including defense establishments and professionals. This event offers an excellent platform for exchange of information on matters concerning corrosion, learning about existing and upcoming products and technologies and networking. As the world faces more and more challenges with ageing infrastructure, it is imperative for advocates of corrosion mitigation to unite and address the problem. Each year over 1000 industry leaders from around the world come together at CORCON, in an effort to tackle corrosion issues, and inform participants of the latest solutions and methods.
