CorrosionRADAR has won the Materials Performance (MP) / Association for Materials Protection and Performance (formerly NACE) Corrosion Innovation of the Year Award for its ground-breaking Predictive Corrosion Under Insulation (CUI) Monitoring System
The Award was presented in front of an online industry audience at CORROSION 2021 Virtual Conference and Expo (originally scheduled in Salt Lake City, Utah, the USA but moved online this year).
Co-inventor of electro-magnetic guided radar technology, which underpins the system, and CEO of CorrosionRADAR Dr Prafull Sharma said, “Our team has received tremendous support from the asset integrity and corrosion industry and our technology partners both at the development stage and in the roll-out of the system at plants across the globe. This award reflects the hard work contributed by everyone in creating an exciting digital product with the potential to completely change the industry approach to managing corrosion under insulation.”
CorrosionRADAR’s winning solution combines real-time field data and predictive analytics generated via wireless sensing waveguides embedded under the asset insulation, with quality, integrity and risk-based inspection methodologies to drive repair or rehabilitation schedules. For operators, this means a more sustainable future with informed decision making, optimised maintenance programmes, safer and more reliable operations with decreased risk, and more production uptime. The integrated system is equally suitable for existing plants and incorporation in new build.
“The winners of our 2021 MP Corrosion Innovation of the Year Awards represent some of the most promising technologies in the industry today,” said Gretchen Jacobson, managing editor-in-chief of materials performance (MP) magazine.
The MP Corrosion Innovation Award comes at a time of exceptional growth for CorrosionRADAR as it expands partnerships and staff bases and accelerates the roll-out of its technology with the launch of an accessible StarterPACK for the oil and gas, petrochemical and chemical industries.
