ICMS3™ Integrated Corrosion Management System Datasheet
The ICMS3 system corrosion management server is the heart of the corrosion or erosion monitoring system, integrating several forms of corrosion monitoring and process data into one complete online system. Corrosion and erosion monitoring is managed as a process parameter with constant streaming data directly into your preferred system interface.
According to the application, RCS will typically incorporate one of several different types of corrosion and erosion monitoring system components, and operate over various communication links. For example, an upstream oil and gas production field will vary from a refinery or offshore platform both in the monitoring technologies employed and the communication infrastructure used. An upstream oil and gas field is spread over large distances with operation through an existing communication network where the ICMS3 system must be integrated into this existing network. By comparison, a Refinery, Gas Plant, or offshore platform will have shorter direct communications links using wired, wireless, or fiber optic connections. The unmatched range of monitoring technologies offered by RCS allows the proper matching of the system to the application.

Monitor multiple corrosion sensors simultaneously: Oil, gas, water, and sand
Our corrosion sensor and transmitter systems are known to be extremely sensitive and accurate, and are available for such diverse industries as oil and gas, petrochemical, water treatment, chemical, pulp and paper, pharmaceutical, and utilities.Our systems adapt to yours. From five corrosions transmitters across the road to 500 around the world, we can design a system that helps you monitor and manage corrosion in your systems.
Significant return on investment
In appropriate applications, our corrosion monitoring systems deliver a speedy payback. A recent customer had installed ICMS3 systems at three of their main gas processing plants. Their initial investment was recouped within the first year purely on the basis of needed process improvements that became apparent after installation of the ICMS3 systems. Those savings were derived from reducing direct operating costs, however subsequent long term study of the ICMS3 output revealed corrosion trends that, if unchecked, would lead to premature aging and replacement of key plant components. A company-wide assessment was undertaken, and a mitigation plan based on the installation of ICMS3 systems at all eleven of the customer’s plants was adopted. They estimate their savings will be $50 million per year when the findings are implemented at all eleven plants.
Total corrosion data management
Our corrosion management systems deliver unmatched levels of capability. Probes are monitored continuously online, providing metal loss and corrosion rate graphs at the press of a button. Process information transferred from the SCADA system assists correlation of corrosion upsets with process parameters for identification of problems. Corrosion coupon data can also be input and stored on the system, along with any other corrosion related data, such as laboratory analysis data, chemical injection rates, computed water content, and ultrasonic probe readings. It is also a simple matter to generate Key Performance Indicators (KPIs) such as cost of inhibition, cost of corrosion per production volume, and many others. The systems can also allow for management of corrosion inhibitor supplies, can be set to produce reports automatically, and even to provide corrosion data to risk management software. Our software is designed by corrosion engineers for corrosion engineers, and provides features that are not available in other software applications.
Highly cost-effective asset management
Asset management ensures the timely maintenance of field equipment, delivering maximum performance and service life at minimal cost. Saving time and avoiding expensive equipment failures are key benefits of asset management programs. An effective online integrated corrosion monitoring system allows corrective actions to be taken quickly, before costly or catastrophic events occur, leaving plant operators with peace of mind.
RCS system support and service
RCS provides remote access and support for its systems, typically over the internet through the client’s secure VPN network. Security is a major concern for IT departments of all corporations. Through a VPN connection to our secure maintenance server, we can offer a maintenance service that provides the client with rapid support and assistance with data interpretation or system maintenance questions. As staffing levels get lower and less experienced staff are available, the comfort and security of system support is essential.
