Corrosion detection technology
A COMPANY THAT DEVELOPS REMOTE SENSORS FOR MONITORING CORROSION IN OIL AND GAS PIPELINES HAS SECURED
£250,000 OF INVESTMENT FROM EARLY-STAGE INVESTOR, MERCIA FUND MANAGERS
This has been met with a further
£104,000 from Innovate UK
through its investment accelerator
pilot programme. The investment
will support CorrosionRADAR with
developing its technology and
business to secure commercial
partners for initial fi eld tests.
A spin-out from Cranfi eld
University, CorrosionRADAR is
seeking to address the well-known
industry problem of monitoring
corrosion in pipelines, particularly
in Corrosion Under Insulation
(CUI) or buried pipes.
CorrosionRADAR technology
is permanently embedded and
can accurately pinpoint the
location of corrosion at any point
along the full length of a pipeline.
These unique capabilities support
predictive maintenance programs
for the management of industrial
assets, giving business owners
the confi dence to make real-time
decisions.
The main aim of the
technology is to help companies
reduce maintenance costs, while
sustaining a high standard of
safe and environmentally friendly
operations.
The company is led by CEO
Dr Chiraz Ennaceur, who has
more than 15 years’ experience
in taking new technologies from
the research stage to product
development.
“We are addressing an unmet
industrial challenge in a global
market,” said Dr Chiraz Ennaceur.
“We are committed to
The CorrosionRADAR team – ‘committed to creating a game-
changing solution for tackling corrosion management’
