As fire protection systems become more common in everyday life so does the acronym M.I.C. M.I.C., also known as microbiologically influenced corrosion, can cause leaks in fire protection systems which if ignored can deteriorate an entire system and render it useless. M.I.C. may seem like the problem but it is only an accelerator of the real root issue, a chemical reaction that is already taking place between air, water, and steel. To slow down this corrosion significantly, only one of those elements needs to be removed from the equation.
Potter has come up with several solutions that can aid the fire protection industry in the fight against M.I.C. Take a few minutes of your time and familiarize yourself with the possible options:
Fire sprinklers are individually activated by a fire's intense heat, and often just one sprinkler successfully extinguishes a fire. Only the sprinklers closest to the flames spray water; the other sprinklers do NOT activate at the same time.
