An upcoming Materials Performance (MP) Webcast will explore tools and techniques to manage corrosion at water and wastewater utilities, as practiced by one of the largest combined water/wastewater utilities in the United States.
The conversation will be led by John W. Norton, Jr., PE, director of energy, research, and innovation at the Great Lakes Water Authority (GLWA) (Detroit, Michigan, USA).
GLWA treats more than 40% of the water, and 30% of the wastewater, for the state of Michigan, and Norton leads their research efforts to understand, extend, and enhance its linear and process infrastructure.
Topics in the webcast will include the basics of chemical, biological, and galvanic sources of corrosion found within water infrastructure; the types of corrosion commonly found within water infrastructure; methods to assess corrosion in water/wastewater infrastructure; methods to resolve corrosion in water/wastewater infrastructure; and recommendations for utilities who wish to improve their corrosion management programs, based on lessons learned from the GLWA.
The webcast is brought to viewers by the NACE Water/Wastewater Council of water and wastewater industry stakeholders and professionals. It will take place on Tuesday, Nov. 3, at 2:00 p.m. Eastern time. Those interested in attending can register here.
