OLI TECHNOLOGY INITIATIVE
OLI is continuing the CSP Consortium, via a Phase II, to help fund and steer the further development of the Corrosion Simulation Program. This document provides substantial details concerning the projected additional features, which will be pursued for CSP as part of Phase II.
OLI is seeking new member companies for this consortium, as well as appealing to our current CSP members. OLI has set the maximum participation for this consortium to eight companies. At this point, five companies have indicated that they plan to join CSP II. For more information about this consortium and how your company can join, please contact OLI.
OLI has now met its two major objectives for Phase I of CSP. Specifically, this June we will release CSP V2.0, which will provide for both:
A comprehensive facility for producing thermodynamically-based, real solution stability diagrams for any bulk phase aqueous solution simulated by OLI in contact with almost any metal or alloy.
A general, first-principles model for general (uniform) corrosion. This model, which combines thermodynamics, kinetics and transport, has a supporting databank, which covers considerable bulk phase aqueous chemistry in contact with mild steels or 304 or 316 stainless steel.
As part of an ongoing Phase I development, the databank, which supports the kinetics of corrosion will be expanded with regard to both, bulk phase chemistry as well as metals/alloys.
In Phase II our objectives will be to provide for prediction of local corrosion processes including pitting, crevice corrosion and stress corrosion cracking. The document describing the Project Vision provides considerably more detail concerning these major project objectives.
The actual project would be carried out over a 2.5 year period (7/1/2000 – 12/31/2002).
It is difficult at the present time to project a schedule of deliverables. Nonetheless, we would expect that we could deliver, in stages, modules for each of the three major local corrosion processes, namely, pitting, crevice and stress cracking corrosion. See the Project Vision for more details on the envisioned Work Plan.
Consortium members would receive a number of unique benefits based upon their participation. The benefits include:
A lease, with full support services, for five copies of the CSP Software for a period of 2.5 years from the date of commitment to CSP Phase II. This may be particularly of interest for those who did not sponsor CSP Phase I, and would like to introduce multiple copies of this program into their organization.
Priority handling of one system for which the CSP software applies. Priority handling includes databank development, simulation model development, etc. Such a project alone could, hopefully, justify the entire cost of membership.
Technical steering of the project, which will assure that the needs of individual member companies are reflected in this work.
OLI is seeking a financial commitment of $37,500 from members of CSP Phase I and $75,000 from non-members of CSP Phase I to cover fully the cost of membership.
OLI has had considerable, successful experience with software development via Consortium participation. Based upon this experience, we believe that it is best to limit the size of such a Consortium. So, we plan to limit membership to eight companies.
We appreciate your interest in this proposal and look forward to the possibility of working with your company in conjunction with this exciting project.
... Why join an OLI Consortia? Because they are the best value for your technology dollar. Pooling the risk with other member companies and with OLI, applied research into areas of crucial importance to the industry can be done. And the benefits are outstanding.
