The Australian Electrolysis Committee was first formed in 1977, bringing together existing state electrolysis committees from Queensland, New South Wales, Victoria and South Australia. Over the years the Electrolysis Committee has run evolved to run biannual meetings, consisting of a full-day seminar and a forum at the ACA’s Corrosion and Prevention Conference. The mid-year meeting is the AEC’s main technical event and is scheduled as a full day meeting with presentations and active discussions about corrosion, cathodic protection, stray currents and any other issues affecting our industry. These mid-year meetings are generally held in different states from year to year to allow as many members as possible to attend.
In 2015, the ACA and the AEC signed a Memorandum of Understanding to formalise and strengthen the ongoing relationship between the ACA and the AEC. In 2020 due to the COVID-19 Pandemic, the 87th meeting of the AEC moved online and saw over 100 attendees from Australasia and around the world tune in to celebrate the 43-year history of this group.
