Sridhar Srinivasan
Mr. Srinivasan is a globally recognized corrosion / reliability expert and modeling technology consultant with over 30 years of experience in delivering industry-leading predictive analytic modeling software and monitoring sensors for corrosion asset integrity and risk management. Mr. Srinivasan has applied his extensive knowledge to a range of problems related to corrosion, metallurgy and modeling, generating innovative engineering solutions to complex problems related to oil, gas and refinery corrosion mechanisms and unit operations. Mr. Srinivasan also functions as a Corrosion SME with deep expertise in refinery process corrosion as well as training and implementation related to industry best practices related to Integrity Operating Windows (API RP 584) and Corrosion Control Documents (API RP 970).
Over the last 21 years, functioning as the leader of Honeywell-led Joint Industry Consortia Programs (JIP), Mr. Srinivasan worked with leading, global operating companies to develop corrosion data and prediction models related to crude oil corrosivity, alkaline sour water (NH4HS) corrosion, crude unit overhead corrosion as well for multiphase sour oil/gas production, HPHT wells and safe use limits for carbon and stainless steels. He is the solution architect for the Predict® suite of refining applications widely utilized by global operators, including models for naphthenic acid / sulfidic corrosion and rich / lean amine corrosion. His recent efforts focused on enhancing process safety through application of real time models integrated with process historians won him an international innovation award from Hydrocarbon Processing. Mr. Srinivasan has also functioned as the Program Manager for a key corrosion modeling effort for International Space Station (ISS) for Boeing/NASA, where he developed a customized phase behavior and speciation model for the ISS. As a leading industry consultant, Mr. Srinivasan has worked with a global base of customers in modeling corrosion, quantifying corrosion mechanisms as well as delivering digitalized solutions for asset and mechanical integrity.
Mr. Srinivasan’s has been active in NACE unit committees (STG08, STG 34, STG 62) as well as NPRA and AFPM. He functioned as the chair of NACE STG 62 (Corrosion Monitoring and Measurement, 2016-2020) and is currently the chair of the NACE Task Group on Smart Sensors for Corrosion Monitoring (TEG-100x). Mr. Srinivasan has also served as a member of the Board of Directors at AFPM (2016-2019). He has authored chapters in the Uhlig Handbook as well as ASM Handbook on Corrosion and Cracking. He is widely published and has 100 plus conference and journal papers, technical articles and book chapters in the areas of corrosion, modeling, material selection and predictive analytics.
Mr. Srinivasan worked for about 23 years at Honeywell International, Inc., initially leading the development of corrosion and material selection models and later as business leader for Honeywell’s Corrosion Center of Excellence (COE). He also spent eight years early in his career working for Cortest Labs, generating experimental materials / corrosion data as well as building materials and corrosion databases and models for oil/gas applications.
Mr. Srinivasan received his BS in Mechanical Engineering from Bangalore University and an MS in Mechanical Engineering from The University of Houston. He has also achieved Six Sigma Green Belt Certification. Mr. Srinivasan is based in Houston, Texas.
