Last Tuesday, Curtin University, alongside Proven Project Management and Chevron, launched the Corrosion Flow Loop project with a Golden Shovel Ceremony, heralding a fresh wave of innovation.
Last Tuesday marked a special day for innovation at Curtin University. In partnership with Proven Project Management and Chevron, the university hosted a symbolic Golden Shovel Ceremony, paving the way for the future-focused Corrosion Flow Loop project.
This collaboration with the Curtin Corrosion Centre (CCC) is set to design and launch a unique flow loop. It will be tailored for studying corrosion caused by various agents, including CO2 and H2S. The significance? Until now, such crucial corrosion tests were done overseas, with Chevron depending on a facility in Norway.
But the game is changing. The upcoming facility at Tech Park will mirror conditions inside real-world pipelines, propelling local research that can redefine global corrosion control methods. With the ambitious completion date set for August 2024 and Trigon Projects helming the construction, rapid strides are already being made. The project, as of now, stands 7% complete.
In essence, this venture isn’t just about constructing a facility. It’s about harnessing homegrown research prowess, nurturing collaboration, and sculpting a brighter, more informed future.
