Here is the quick on MIC:
- MIC and corrosion are common in the fire sprinkler systems in buildings, factories and warehouses. MIC attacks all types of metals in a fire sprinkler system, with steel pipe being the most vulnerable.
- Internal build up of heavy corrosion can occur in isolated parts of a system, or it can be living and growing throughout the entire network of pipes and sprinkler heads.
- MIC is found in both new and old systems. It is well documented in fire sprinkler systems around the globe.
- Microbiologically Influenced Corrosion. MIC Testing. MIC Prevention.
Know the tell tale signs of MIC:
- Pin hole leaks in pipes.
- Black water with a foul, rotten egg odor.
- Reduced water pressure in the system.
- During flow tests, rust or black water stains the concrete.
