Honeywell acquires InterCorr

By Staff -- Plant Engineering, 7/1/2005

Honeywell announced June 15 it will acquire Houston-based InterCorr International, Inc., which specializes in corrosion monitoring instrumentation, testing and consulting services and predictive software and corrosion research. Terms of the acquisition were not disclosed.

Honeywell officials said InterCorr's SmartCET technology will be integrated with Honeywell's Experion Process Knowledge System to provide data that will better help customers reduce maintenance costs and increase unit productivity through minimizing failures, avoiding unplanned downtime and increased runtime.

"Global process control industries spend an average of $50 billion a year on corrosion problems, which can hinder their abilities to operate at optimal levels," said Jack Bolick, president of Honeywell Process Solutions. "By integrating InterCorr technology with Experion PKS, we anticipate helping our customers save on corrosion detection and prevention."
