AMPP Nonmetallics Conference 2023

AMPP Nonmetallics Conference 2023

Explore the advancements in technology and potential applications of nonmetallics as a resource for combating corrosion

The topic of nonmetallics has gained significant attention in the Middle East, with major oil and gas as well as petrochemical companies focusing their efforts on it. This cost-effective solution has gained momentum in recent years due to its ability to mitigate corrosion, increase lifecycle, and improve energy efficiency in these industries. To maintain this momentum and build upon the success of the first Nonmetallics Conference in 2018, it is important to continue raising awareness about recent advancements and best practices for the operation and maintenance of nonmetallic products.

Technical program

The conference will feature technical presentations on the following topics:

  • Advancement in the Materials and Use of Nonmetallic in High-Pressure and High-Temperature Applications
  • Environmental Degradation of Nonmetallics: Mechanisms & Durability
  • Inspection, NDT and Repair on Nonmetallic Materials
  • Integrity Management and Remaining Life Assessment of Nonmetallic Materials
