CorrosionRADAR receives funding for predictive corrosion technology
Cranfield University spin-out CorrosionRADAR has secured a total of £354,000 to help with the development of its corrosion detection technology.
CorrosionRADAR develops remote sensors for monitoring corrosion in oil and gas pipelines and has secured £250,000 of investment from Mercia Fund Managers and a further £104,000 from Innovate UK through its investment accelerator pilot programme.
The company said it is seeking to address the industry problem of monitoring corrosion in pipelines, particularly in Corrosion Under Insulation (CUI) or buried pipes.
Dr Chiraz Ennaceur, CEO at CorrosionRADAR, said: “Our vision is to support industry moving from reactive to predictive corrosion management using cutting edge technologies from distributed sensing technology to Industrial Internet of Things (IIOT) and advanced analytics.”
CorrosionRADAR technology is permanently embedded and pinpoints the location of corrosion at any point along the full length of a pipeline. These capabilities support predictive maintenance programs for the management of industrial assets.
The main aim of the technology is to help companies reduce maintenance costs, while sustaining a high standard of safe and environmentally friendly operations.
