The presentation provided perspectives and information on research topics relevant to the CC JIP and were highly applauded by all in attendance. Eleven graduate students reviewed their current research through presentations and discussion sessions. Presentations were considered by sponsors to be of high quality. The next meeting will be held in March, 2014.

The Naphthenic Acid Corrosion Joint Industry (NAP JIP) Advisory Board Meeting was held on November 6 – 7. Eighteen representatives of the eleven sponsoring companies attended the ABM either in person or on-line discussing and analyzing the latest results as they were presented by the ICMT project leader and graduate students. The ICMT staff presented also to the sponsors an updated version of the proposal for the NAP JIP Phase II (a continuation of the current project for three more years). The sponsors showed interest in continuing this research work and decided in agreement with the ICMT staff, to have an overview and closure meeting for NAP JIP 1 and a kick-off meeting for NAP JIP 2 next year, in March at NACE 2014 International Conference.
