Welcome to the website of the Working Party on Corrosion and Scale Inhibition
Vision
WP1 is the platform and forum for all aspects of corrosion inhibition and scale inhibition in all kinds of industrial application:
- from basic understanding of protection mechanisms to science-based modelling,
- from compound selection for specific services to appropriate application modes,
- from investigation methods and fitness-for-purpose testing to online monitoring,
- from environmental concerns to legal aspects.
Corrosion and scale inhibition is an issue in many industrial branches. Therefore, WP1 cooperates with many other EFC working parties and organizes joint sessions on EUROCORR conferences and international courses on this subject. Present activities aim at
- validation of measuring systems for monitoring the performance of corrosion and scale inhibitors in the oil & gas industry, refineries, cooling water treatment, hydraulic fluids, metal treatment fluids and other applications,
- standardization of inhibitor performance testing in cooperation with ASTM, CEN, ISO, NACE,
- reviewing the potential of environmentally friendly inorganic and organic inhibitors
- identifying fields for future research and development,
- fostering networking between R&D labs for cooperation in European research programs.

| WP1 Business Meeting: Tuesday, 6 September 2011, 16.10 to 17.10h
Topic: Corrosion and Scale inhibition - Where is research going today?
- New inhibitors: Do we need them?
- Inhibitors from natural products: Nice to know or technical potential?
- Synergisms: Do we understand them?
- Inhibitor combinations: Innovation or Alchemy?
- Methodology of testing: Do we use the right ones?
- Surface analysis: Which question answers which method?
- Theoretical approaches: How far did we come?
- Industrial applications: Where are improvements needed?
Continuation of discussions started in Moscow at EUROCORR'2010. All attendants interested are heartily invited to come and contribute.
