The Hidden Threat of MIC (Microbiologically Influenced Corrosion)

Signs of MIC Damage Include:

  • Unexpected leaks or system failures
  • Discolored or foul-smelling water
  • Unexplained pressure drops

 

The Cost of Being Reactive vs. Proactive

$750K–$1M+ for pipe replacements vs. $150K for a mitigation system. 

By the time MIC is visible, extensive damage has already been done. Emergency replacements disrupt operations, cause financial strain, and lead to safety risks.

“Invest now and save exponentially in the future.” 

Real-World Impact: Proactive Prevention Saves Millions

Taking a proactive approach to MIC prevention not only saves money but also extends the lifespan of critical infrastructure. Many businesses have avoided costly emergency repairs by implementing our advanced corrosion mitigation solutions.

“By implementing a proactive MIC mitigation strategy, we avoided a $900K emergency pipe replacement and significantly extended the life of our system.”

How Our MIC Mitigation System Works?

Our proven corrosion prevention solutions work by actively controlling the environmental conditions within the piping to inhibit the primary corrosion mechanisms: MIC and oxygen-driven electrochemical corrosion. These systems typically incorporate a combination of methods such as: air management, chemical treatment, and monitoring technologies such as:

Air management: Nitrogen inerting is a widely used method that replaces oxygen-rich air within dry and pre-action sprinkler systems with high-purity nitrogen, significantly reducing the oxidation potential and preventing rust formation. In wet systems, corrosion inhibitors such as phosphate-based or amine-based compounds are introduced to create a protective film on the pipe’s interior surfaces, preventing microbial adhesion and metal dissolution.

Monitoring: Automated monitoring systems equipped with corrosion rate sensors and microbial detection tools provide real-time data, allowing for early detection of MIC activity and oxygen ingress.
