topics to be covered include control of corrosion with chemical treatments and research on new materials, both metallic and nonmetallic,
for use in desalination applications. The session will also cover topics on novel chemical/mechanical cleaning techniques,
new inhibitors for existing cleaning procedures, and any other methods for mitigating corrosion during cleaning operations.
STUDENT POSTER:
Graduate and undergraduate students, who are involved in research related to corrosion control and prevention,
i.e. subjects that fit into any of the conference technical sessions, are encouraged to prepare and submit their research posters to the
conference Technical Committee before October 15, 2007.
Students submitting posters are entitled for free admission to the technical program and exhibition. The best poster will receive a
prize at the end of the conference.
