Infrastructure for studying corrosion mechanisms and validating protection solutions (materials, coatings and inhibitors) through accelerated testing and exposure under real-world onshore/offshore conditions.
The facilities combine electrochemical testing and coating characterization capabilities with climatic chambers and high-temperature/high-pressure autoclaves. This makes it possible to reproduce harsh environments and compare different solutions based on service-life performance criteria.
The infrastructure is used both for failure diagnosis and for the qualification of protection solutions in demanding industrial applications.
