1.      NACE Chapter:

http://www.nace.org/home.aspx

NACE (National Association of Corrosion Engineers) International, which was established in 1943, is a professional organization for the corrosion control industry. NACE's main focus of activities includes cathodic protection, coatings for industry and material selection for specific chemical resistance.

NACE publishes the journals Materials Performance (MP) and Corrosion. NACE also publishes standard practice, test method, and material requirements, standards for use by industry and other Corrosion societies. Standing committees periodically review and update the standards every five years. An annual conference is held in the United States for the entire organization and several regional meetings and conferences around the world.

NACE-Jubail is a local section of the West Asia and Africa Region Chapter of the National Association of Corrosion Engineers (NACE) International. NACE-Jubail was established in July 2008 to promote the awareness of corrosion and its control for industries in Al-Jubail and its extended adjoining area of Saudi Arabia. Al-Jubail area is the industrial heart of the Arabian Gulf; the area has the highest concentrations of world scale petrochemical, chemical, fertilizer, refinery, steel and mineral industries; as well as oil and gas operations, power and desalination plants, etc. It has over 800+ members from local industries and academia. JIC NACE Jubail student chapter was established on 18^th October 2011, in the department of chemical and process engineering. The chapter has steadily grown having more than 100+ members, graduated students and students still studying in JIC.

NACE: What we bring to Students
