Responsible oil and gas Risers and flow lines Risers and flow linesOur networks Within the context of the CORRTEX (Corrosion Research and Technical Expertise) Alliance, IFPEN has forged a strong partnership with the Institut de la Corrosion, the École des Mines engineering school in Saint-Etienne, the CNRS (French National Center for Scientific Research), the INSA Lyon (National Institute of Applied Sciences), the University Lyon 1, the University of Lyon, and MECM. The consortium partners have invested in a joint facility: a high pressure/high temperature corrosion test loop, hosted by the Axel’One Innovative Processes Platform at Solaize. The objective is to pool corrosion tools and expertise as part of an open innovation approach and address the innovation needs of industrial players and SMEs.
