Fiber Optic Systems Technology Inc., Toronto, Ontario, Canada, has reported that the corporation will provide corrosion monitoring systems for a technology development project for the pipeline industry supported by the Alberta government.
FOX-TEK will take a key role in supplying corrosion monitoring systems for metal loss measurements and provide engineering support to a critical energy sector technology development initiative supported by the Government of Alberta's Advanced Education and Technology, Alberta Innovates Technology Futures (AITF), and GE Water and Process Technologies.
The project, Pipeline Corrosion Management (PiCoM) project, was launched by AITF as a close collaboration with the pipeline industry to evaluate and improve corrosion monitoring methods for midstream and downstream petroleum operations. The project combines the research capabilities of AITF and the real-world experience of a number of pipeline industry insiders to assess monitoring technologies, evaluate and optimize corrosion mitigation strategies and identify best practices in the field of corrosion monitoring. Building on a successful joint project with AITF in 2010, FOX-TEK is excited to participate in the PiCoM project and contribute to state-of-the-art innovation in the corrosion monitoring field.
