Dr. Moghissi is Senior Vice President of Laboratories, a department of CC Technologies that includes research, testing, and failure analysis. Dr. Moghissi has twenty years experience working on corrosion problems as a researcher, oil & gas corrosion engineer, and university research assistant. Most of his experience centers on managing the integrity of aging facilities including optimizing corrosion control programs. Areas of particular focus have included internal corrosion of pipelines and production facilities, external corrosion of underground structures, and marine corrosion.

Dr. Moghissi has experience with internal corrosion of pipelines and production facilities. He led the development of internal corrosion direct assessment (ICDA) to assess internal corrosion in pipelines. The first method for normally dry-gas transmission pipelines was incorporated to United States Federal Regulations 49 CFR Part 192. Subsequently, he was the principle investigator for a USDOT, PRCI, and SoCal Gas Company cosponsored project on the development of ICDA for wet gas pipelines. He also led the development of ICDA for liquid hydrocarbon pipelines through a project cosponsored by USDOT, PRCI, and Enbridge. Dr. Moghissi served as chair or vice-chair for development of NACE standard recommended practices on ICDA for dry gas, wet gas, and liquid petroleum systems. Dr. Moghissi has supported many other programs on internal pipeline corrosion including mechanism determination, mitigation, monitoring, and maintenance optimization. Dr. Moghissi's oil & gas production experience includes international on-site trouble shooting, auditing, and optimizing chemical treatment costs by product selection, dosing, and pricing.

In the area of external corrosion, Dr. Moghissi has performed a range of external corrosion programs. One area of focus was work to validate external corrosion direct assessment (ECDA) and improve its implementation including development of criteria for prioritizing indications. Dr. Moghissi also has experience with removing the effects of measurement errors on potential measurements. He developed buried coupons for monitoring CP effectiveness and for predicting susceptibility to corrosion under disbonded coatings. He also supervised a close interval survey of the Trans-Alaska Pipeline that included a method to remove Telluric-current interference. Other significant work includes support of a program funded by the US Nuclear Regulatory Commission to evaluate the life of corrosion resistant alloys for containment of high level radioactive waste.

For marine environments, Dr. Moghissi has performed laboratory studies to evaluate the effects of bacteria on cathodically protected structures, evaluated the use of stainless steels and mitigation schemes, and provided technical service for oil & gas production facilities including sub-sea pipelines. Dr. Moghissi's university dissertation was targeted at mitigating velocity-accelerated corrosion of aluminum bronze marine screws (i.e., for propulsion of US Navy vessels). Work included development of transport based mathematical models with numerical solution and regression to electrochemical impedance spectra.

Dr. Moghissi is professionally active in NACE International where he has held a variety of technical and administrative leadership positions. He presently serves on NACE's Board of Directors.
