CORROSION A MAJOR THREAT IN INDIA

4102013

                                                                                                                  

Average 3-4% of the country’s GDP affected due to Corrosion

New Delhi, 3^rd October 2013: Corrosion is a major threat to Asset Integrity. In an initiative to strengthen and protect assets and the environment from Corrosion, a mega international conference and expo, CORCON 2013 was inaugurated by Hon’ble Minister of Heavy Industries & Public Enterprises, Praful Patel on 30^th Sept (Monday)  in The Lalit, New Delhi. With the loss due to corrosion worldwide has been estimated at over one trillion US dollars per year or 3.5% of the world’s GDP. Tushar Jhaveri, the first Indian President in history of NACE over 70 years along with Dr. Samir Degan, Chairman of NACE International Gateway India section, Bob Chalker, Executive Director of NACE International (US), Del Doyle, Director of NACE International focused on the developments in the Corrosion Industry and its control.

Mr. Sudhir Vasudeva CMD, ONGC said, “Corrosion is one of the major challenges in developing suitable infrastructure essential for green energy, potable water and clean air-three essentialities required for a a healthy human development index, in which India, as per UNDP report 2013, ranks as low as 136 out of 186 countries. And as the average cost of corrosion is in the order of 3-4% of a country’s GDP, corrosion prevention and co ntrol is imperative for the growth of India.”

The event sees some of the keynote speakers from the best in the industry namely B.C. Tripathi, CMD, GAIL, A.K.Purwaha, CMD EIL and Board of Directors and President and Chairman of NACE International.

R.D Goyal, Director, GAIL said, “Assets must only be safety protected but also their economic life be extended beyond design.

Studies reveal that prediction, diagnostics and early corrosion control can save upto 60% of all maintenance and repair costs.”

Dr. Samir Degan, Chairman of NACE said, “In the past corrosion issues were not taking seriously and costs due to corrosion lead to significant expenses in maintenance budgets around the globe.  As corrosion awareness grows, organisations are planning for eliminating these issues in the design stages itself, leading to a reduction of costs in the future.  Platforms like CORCON allow for problems to be discussed and ideas exchanged which leads to increase in corrosion awareness and ultimately should lead to reduction in costs due to corrosion worldwide, which currently are estimated at US 1 trillion per annum.”

This year CORCON had over 1000 delegates from across the spectrum of all industries for the four day event from 30 September to 3rd October 2013. It witnessed over 20 countries participation which gives it a truly global outlook.
