With over 70 years of experience in the sector, Cosasco has consolidated its position as a leader in industrial corrosion monitoring. Founded in 1950, the company has pioneered the development of monitoring technology with high-resolution ER (electrical resistance) probes, specifically designed to provide accurate, real-time data on the condition of industrial assets.
Anupam Sangal, Director of Engineering, tells us how the company has evolved to meet the needs of modern asset integrity programs. Through constant innovation, the company has integrated advanced technologies and digital platforms that enable more efficient corrosion management, essential in challenging industries such as oil and gas extraction, chemical transportation, and others.
Corrosion monitoring with high-resolution ER probes
These probes are installed in process lines and allow continuous measurement of corrosion and erosion under extreme conditions. Most notable is their ability to provide high-resolution data in minutes, allowing asset integrity engineers to make rapid decisions and prevent catastrophic failures.
The monitoring system not only assesses metal loss and corrosion rates, but also transmits this data through micropore technologies and IoT platforms, ensuring that information efficiently reaches control systems and the cloud for analysis and storage.
Flexibility in monitoring
The company offers both intrusive and non-intrusive systems to meet diverse customer needs. Intrusive systems involve the direct installation of probes in process lines, allowing for accurate measurement of corrosion levels. Non-intrusive systems, on the other hand, are ideal for monitoring assets without interrupting operations, resulting in a more practical and less costly option in certain industrial environments.
Both systems comply with industry standards and provide operators with the tools they need to detect problems before they become critical failures, optimizing safety and operational efficiency.
Integration with the digitalization of the industry
The company has integrated its corrosion monitoring systems with cloud platforms like SkyView and IoT solutions, allowing users to access data in real time from anywhere. This integration improves accessibility, facilitating decision-making based on accurate and up-to-date data.
Sangal emphasizes that the ability of Cosasco systems to integrate with process control platforms such as SCADA or DCS is a key factor that enables operators to make informed decisions, reducing the risk of asset damage and optimizing facility lifespan.
The evolution of Cosasco
The company has evolved to stay ahead of market demands, developing solutions that not only adapt to current needs but also anticipate future challenges. Through close collaboration with key industry players and active participation in organizations such as AMPP, ASTM, and API, the company has maintained its leadership, developing increasingly specialized and precise products.
Modern asset integrity programs require solutions that are both effective and flexible. Cosasco, with its customer-centric approach, has proven itself capable of offering advanced technology that enables precise corrosion monitoring tailored to each client’s specific challenges.
