Three minutes from anomaly to action.

Energy plants do not fail in straight lines. They fail when a vibration spike, an overdue oil sample, and a thermal drift converge over weeks. Cortrova catches the convergence before the catastrophe. A real prevention story below.

Process Safety Management

Fourteen elements. One platform.

OSHA PSM under 29 CFR 1910.119 specifies fourteen elements for highly hazardous chemical processes. Each one maps to a Cortrova module. The Predictive Convergence Engine watches all fourteen for cross-element risk patterns the standalone systems miss.

EPA Compliance

Four programs. One module.

The EPA programs that matter to energy manufacturers split cleanly into four columns: Air, Water, Waste, and Reporting. Cortrova ships native coverage of each, including the recordkeeping and threshold monitoring that makes annual reporting a one-click export instead of a six-week scramble.

Predictive Maintenance

Six sensor types. One AI prediction.

Each sensor stream feeds the same anomaly engine. Vibration, thermal, oil, ultrasonic, motor current, and acoustic data all converge in one model. The AI does not just alert on a single sensor crossing a threshold. It alerts when several sensors drift together in a known failure pattern.

Vibration on Pump 04 drifting toward limit. Pattern matches three prior bearing failures from the past 24 months. Recommend: schedule oil sample and bearing inspection within 7 days. The Convergence Engine will keep watching the cross-stream pattern.
