HOUSTON -- NACE International has opened its new international training center. According to NACE, the $2.4 million facility is the nation's first freestanding training center dedicated exclusively to advancing corrosion education.

The facility features a cathodic protection test field with buried, electrified pipelines; a coatings lab with a blast and spray booth; a virtual spray booth for classroom-based applicator training; an equipment preparation area; and a marine ballast tank immersion tent, which simulates a ship's ballast tank for shipboard corrosion assessment training.
