Symposia Session

Corrosion in the Biofuel and Biomass Industry

Monday, March 16, 2026
8:00 AM - 11:00 AM Central
Location: 371 AB

The objective of this symposium is to share experience related to material selection, corrosion issues, and corrosion mitigation in the biofuels industry. We know that this industry is growing and that the switch from conventional fossil feedstocks to vegetable oil or biomass may cause severe corrosion issues. This symposium will cover both the production of biodiesel and bioethanol.
