Corrosion Risk Does Not Wait

Most corrosion programs rely on static integrity limits and periodic inspection data from isolated points. This leaves teams uncertain whether changing operating conditions signal a true integrity threat or routine noise.

Because corrosion exposure is multi-variable and inspection coverage is limited, teams often respond conservatively, even when existing historian, alarm, and operating data could provide clearer insight.

The Chemistry Behind Corrosion Exposure

OLI TrueCORR is built on decades of first-principles corrosion chemistry modeling, enabling the conversion of live operating chemistry into corrosion rate, dominant corrosion drivers, remaining life, and integrity limit status. Instead of relying on threshold alarms or historical failure patterns alone, OLI TrueCORR evaluates whether the active process environment is genuinely creating corrosive conditions. It also allows OLI TrueCORR to work beyond failure history, supporting assets where operating conditions have changed or historical corrosion data is limited.

Calculate the actual corrosion risk

OLI TrueCORR calculates corrosion risk directly from process chemistry and plant metallurgy, helping teams understand when changing operating conditions are materially increasing integrity exposure.

Identify the corrosion driver

The model shows which chemistry is causing the risk, so teams can act on cause rather than symptom.

Confirm the integrity limit

Alerts are tied to calculated corrosion behavior against the Integrity Critical Limit.

Translate risk into action

Results support mitigation guidance, inspection prioritization, remaining life assessment, and operating decisions.

OLI TRUECORR

Continuous Corrosion Intelligence Across the Asset

OLI TrueCORR extends corrosion monitoring beyond physical coupon and probe locations by deploying Virtual Corrosion Coupons (VCC) across critical digital monitoring points in the asset. Increasing the monitoring points network and reducing the HSE exposure and maintenance connected to “Intrusive” physical corrosion probes.

Extend corrosion visibility beyond physical probes and coupons by deploying digital monitoring points across corrosion-critical locations. OLI TrueCORR continuously evaluates live operating chemistry at each VCC, helping teams understand where corrosion risk is developing, including areas where hardware installation is difficult or operational consequence is highest.

Move beyond fixed threshold alarms by evaluating whether the combined operating chemistry is genuinely driving corrosion beyond the Integrity Critical Limit. OLI TrueCORR reduces false positives and helps operators understand when current process conditions require intervention instead of relying only on isolated variable exceedances.

Continuously update inspection priorities using live corrosion evidence instead of depending entirely on periodic inspection schedules or historical assumptions. OLI TrueCorr replaces calendar-driven inspection logic with a continuously updated risk signal. Every simulation cycle recalculates the corrosion rate at each Virtual Corrosion Coupon location using live process data. That rate feeds directly into the API 581 damage factor calculation — narrowing the corrosion rate uncertainty that determines your inspection interval. The result is a risk-ranked priority list that reflects actual plant chemistry today, not assumptions made during the last study.

Identify the operating change most likely to reduce corrosion exposure before conditions escalate into integrity events, inspection surprises, or production loss. OLI TrueCORR connects corrosion behavior to actionable operating guidance, helping teams respond earlier with greater confidence in the chemistry behind the recommendation.

Designed For Corrosion-Critical Assets

OLI TrueCORR is designed for operators managing corrosion-critical assets where changing operating chemistry can quietly increase integrity and safety exposure long before the risk becomes visible through traditional inspection and monitoring programs. OLI TrueCORR helps teams identify where corrosive conditions are developing before integrity exposure escalates into operational consequence.

Integrity Intelligence That Protects & Creates Value

OLI TrueCorr is the only continuous corrosion monitoring platform built on first-principles thermodynamic and electrochemical modeling. It calculates corrosion rate from actual process chemistry, giving integrity teams a live signal to confirm safe conditions, identify elevated risk, defer unnecessary inspections, and target intervention where chemistry demands it.

Distinguish Real Risk From Operational Noise

OLI TrueCORR evaluates the combined chemistry behind changing operating conditions, helping teams understand when corrosion exposure is genuinely developing instead of reacting to isolated variable exceedances.

Focus Inspection Where Risk Is Highest

By continuously evaluating corrosion behavior across Virtual Corrosion Coupons, OLI TrueCORR helps integrity teams direct inspection effort toward locations where current operating chemistry indicates the greatest exposure.

Reduce Conservative Operating Decisions

Greater confidence in corrosion exposure helps operators avoid unnecessary throughput reduction, excessive chemical treatment, and expanding inspection scope purely as a precautionary response instead of reacting conservatively to uncertain risk.

Respond Earlier With Chemistry Guidance

OLI TrueCORR connects corrosion behavior to actionable operating insight, helping teams intervene before corrosive environments contribute to accelerated asset degradation, production disruption, or increased safety exposure.

Built Around Existing Operations

OLI TrueCORR™ is designed to integrate with existing plant infrastructure, connecting corrosion intelligence into existing integrity workflows and digital infrastructure already supporting plant performance.

Whether deployment is hosted in the cloud, within regional infrastructure requirements, or fully on-premise, OLI TrueCORR™ adapts around operational requirements while OLI provides the corrosion calculation layer behind the decision-making.

Connect Existing Plant Data

Integrate historian data, DCS inputs, laboratory results, REST interfaces, and OPC-UA sources without replacing existing operational systems or visualization environments.

Validate Live Operating Inputs

Before model execution, OLI TrueCORR™ can apply data validation, normalization, outlier detection, and gap handling to improve confidence in the chemistry driving corrosion calculations.

Run Corrosion Models Anywhere

Deploy OLI thermodynamic, process, and corrosion models in cloud, sovereign cloud, private infrastructure, or on-premise environments depending on operational, security, or regional requirements.

Deliver Corrosion Intelligence Where It Matters

Use third party extension to return corrosion intelligence to dashboards, historians, data platforms, or digital twin environments already supporting integrity, operations, and maintenance workflows.

Designed For the Reality of Plant Operations

Corrosion decisions are rarely made under ideal conditions. Operators manage changing feedstocks, evolving operating limits, inspection uncertainty, and pressure to maintain safe, reliable production while minimizing unnecessary intervention. OLI TrueCORR™ was designed to bring continuous chemistry context into those decisions, helping integrity and operations teams understand when current operating conditions are materially increasing corrosion exposure before uncertainty escalates into reactive action. By connecting live operating chemistry directly to integrity exposure, OLI TrueCORR™ helps teams move beyond static corrosion management toward more continuous, evidence-based operational decision-making.

Most facilities already have alarms, historians, and inspection programs. The challenge is understanding when the operating chemistry is genuinely creating corrosion risk and when operational response is actually required.
