Corrosion Under Insulation (CUI) remains one of the most elusive and costly forms of corrosion in industrial environments. Often hidden beneath layers of insulation, it can silently deteriorate pipes, vessels, and equipment, leading to unexpected failures, unplanned downtime, and significant safety risks.
In this live webinar, we bring together two of the field’s top experts, Marko Verdes (Cenosco) and Christos Christoglou (INEOS Styrolution), to discuss the real-world challenges and proven strategies for managing CUI across complex industrial assets. Our expert guests will share their extensive experience with CUI programs around the world. We’ll begin with an introduction to the fundamentals of CUI and then move into the practical realities of detection, prevention, and mitigation.
Why should you attend?
Learn from the experts about:
- Recommendations from current international codes and standards
- Regional differences in CUI challenges and regulatory approaches (EMEA, APAC, AM)
- How to implement risk-based inspection (RBI) for smarter Corrosion Under Insulation prioritization
- Tips on prioritizing CUI efforts based on risk and asset criticality
- Latest trends and tools in NDT and sensor-based CUI detection
