Corrosion costs
billions of dollars each
year. It can also cause
serious injuries and
loss of lives. The
results of corrosion are
felt in many and diverse
industries. The African
continent is home to
much of the world's oil
production capacity,
both onshore and
offshore, both sweet and
sour. There is also a
large capital investment
in oil refining, gas
production and
liquefaction, sea water
injection, and chemical
manufacturing. To make
all this possible, the
region must have a
massive infrastructure
incorporating water
desalination, power
generation,
communication, highways,
buildings, bridges, and
shipping. Due to the
continent's wide
temperature ranges,
humidity, salinity
seawater and soils, the
region produces a unique
corrosion environment.
Because of the broad
approach necessary to
resolve problems
involving corrosion, the
sessions will present a
diversity of papers
covering a wide range of
topics. The Libyan
Corrosion Society
(L.C.S), held the First
Libyancorr, Corrosion
Conference in 2000.
Since this original
conference, each
following conference has
shown an increased
interest in the area of
corrosion. The Fifth
Libyancorr, Corrosion
Conference & Exhibition
in November 2005
attracted a total
attendance of about 370,
with 25 exhibition
booths, and 60 technical
papers from 12
countries. The Sixth
Libyancorr, Corrosion
Conference & Exhibition
is organized by The
Libyan Corrosion Society
(L.C.S), in cooperation
with Institute of
Corrosion UK (Icorr). It
will be held on
12-14 November 2007.
Message from L.C.S
Chairman:
It gives me great
pleasure to invite you
to the 6th Libyancorr
2007. The conference
will feature a
stimulating programme
which will address the
full spectrum of
corrosion protection
science and practice,
emphasizing their
interdisciplinary links
with other
specialisations. The
programme includes a
series of plenary
lectures by
internationally
recognized experts,
keynote contributions on
the latest developments
in corrosion protection
and a comprehensive
range of oral and poster
presentations. In
addition, an interesting
line-up of exhibitions
and social events await
participants. The
Conference will promote
knowledge exchange and
cooperation and will
prove invaluable to
practitioners, academics
and students seeking to
establish networks.
We look forward to
welcoming you to Tripoli
in November 2007.
Eng. Rajab El Gaswi
L.C.S Chairman
Libyan
Corrosion Society
The Libyan Corrosion
Society (LCS), is a
non-profit organization
concerned with all
matters pertaining to
corrosion and its
prevention, the LCS was
established in 1994.
Members of the society
include experts,
engineers and highly
qualified scientists in
the field of corrosion ,
corrosion control and
related fields.
Institute of Corrosion
UK (Icorr)
The
Institute of Corrosion
is a Learned Society and
Registered Charity that
has been serving the
corrosion science,
technology and
engineering management
and economic needs of
individuals, academe and
industry since 1959 in
the fight against
corrosion.
The key to this fight is
the establishment and
promotion of sound
corrosion management
practice, the
advancement of cost
effective corrosion
control measures, and a
sustained effort
generally to raise
corrosion awareness at
all stages of design,
manufacture and
operation.
