Our team consisted of a group of 3 engineers working in collaboration with Curtin University Corrosion Center. We realized inspections on site at the Sino Iron Ore Desalination Plant in Karratha to identify the different types of corrosion mechanisms. We developed a plan to mitigate corrosion in the Desal Plant and this plan is currently under consideration by Citic Pacific Mining.Key accountabilities:This was a recent internship of 6 weeks at a Mining Company located in Karratha in… Show more Our team consisted of a group of 3 engineers working in collaboration with Curtin University Corrosion Center.
