Stop Corrosion in Dry Pipe Sprinkler Systems
Oxygen and moisture are the enemies of your fire protection. At Best Defense, we provide advanced dry pipe nitrogen generators and corrosion monitoring to extend the life of your system and prevent costly leaks.
Why Do Dry Sprinkler Systems Fail?
It’s a common misconception that “dry” systems are dry. Compressed air contains oxygen and moisture, which leads to internal pipe corrosion and “pitting.” Over time, this causes pinhole leaks, pipe obstructions, and system failure.
Key Issues Addressed:
- MIC (Microbiologically Influenced Corrosion): Bacteria that eat through steel.
- Oxygen Corrosion: The primary cause of 90% of dry system leaks.
- Ice Plugs: Moisture freezing in cold Wisconsin winters.
Nitrogen: The Ultimate Corrosion Solution
Nitrogen Inerting
We purge oxygen and replace it with dry nitrogen to stop the chemical reaction of rust.
Corrosion Monitoring
Real-time corrosion monitoring stations alert us to thinning pipe walls before a leak occurs.
Automatic Air Vents
Removing trapped air in wet systems to prevent “pitting” at the high points of your facility.
