Corrosion Mitigation / Management
Fire Sprinkler Solutions is committed to helping our clients identify and manage risk associated with corrosion found in fire sprinkler systems. Corrosion in fire sprinkler systems leads to water damage, plugging problems, reduced hydraulic performance, and reduced service life. The risks associated with corrosion caused by malfunction or failure in fire sprinkler systems include life safety risk, property risk, and business continuity risk. It is our goal to define and understand your needs for corrosion management in fire sprinkler systems and to provide services that can reduce those risks.
Protect Your Fire Sprinkler System and Stop Costly Corrosion
The primary cause of corrosion in fire sprinkler systems is Oxygen Corrosion. More oxygen added to a fire sprinkler system will result in more corrosion, every drain and fill cycle adds more oxygen fuel to the system to further drive the corrosion reaction. Deterioration of the fire sprinkler systems caused by oxygen corrosion is ongoing and cumulative, eventually resulting in leaks.
Oxygen Corrosion, characterized by smooth, broad, round-bottomed pits located on the inner surface of the pipe. These pits most often occur at the air/water interface within the fire sprinkler system pipe where trapped air is in direct contact with water.
Thankfully, we have a solution to help mitigate and halt the corrosion process. The process uses equipment and treatments to deplete the trapped oxygen within the fire sprinkler system. This costs far less than a full system replacement and is also infinitely less expensive than the damages or loss of revenue incurred by pipe leaks or fire damage.
A Corrosion assessment combined with surgical pipe replacement and a corrosion control program can save up to 90% of total system replacement costs and significantly extend the useful life of the existing sprinkler system.
Our experience and dedication in internal fire sprinkler corrosion allows us to provide a proactive approach – to fight corrosion and save your current system, while saving you money and time on unnecessary replacement. New installation solutions can help prevent the corrosion process before it becomes a costly issue.
