Treatment

Permanent Chemical Delivery System (pdf)

 

Portable Chemical Injection System (pdf)

 

Water treatment is the most cost effective method of inhibiting corrosion in an FPS. Corrosion is an on-going destructive process which can continuously attack metal in both wet and dry pipe FPS. Continuously treating both the source water in wet pipe and standing pools of water in dry pipe FPS with the correct chemistry inhibits both corrosion and microbiological growth.

Permanent Chemical Delivery System, is a self-contained chemical delivery system manufactured specifically for wet and dry pipe automatic fire sprinkler systems. The unit is designed to pump liquid chemical into the sprinkler system with the activation of a dedicated waterflow switch installed on the system or common header for multi systems.

Portable Chemical Injection System is a wheeled based chemical delivery system manufactured specifically for wet and dry pipe automatic fire sprinkler systems. The portable unit allows the operator to pump liquid chemical into the sprinkler system at pre-set concentrations. The portable pump’s wheeled base allows transporting from location to location.

fpsCMI’s corrosion inhibitor, fpsCI-100 is specifically designed for fire protection systems. fpsCI-100 is formulated for a fire protection system’s low/no flow conditions and is compatible with both wet and dry pipe system components.

fpsCI-100 inhibits corrosion by stabilizing the metal/oxide film at the metal surface. It can also act as a biostat to minimize the influence of microorganisms on the corrosion process.

 


Venting

ECS-Ejector Automatic Air Vent (pdf)

Oxygen in the air is the primary corroding specie for the steel components in FPS. Venting the trapped air from a wet pipe FPS will help to slow corrosion by reducing the amount of air/oxygen remaining in the system. Automated air releases eliminate the need for lifts and ladders required when an operator manually opens and closes non-automated air release valves.

The ECS-Ejector Automatic Air Vent (EAAV) provides automatic venting of trapped air in FPS. They are installed at the high points of the FPS. As a fire sprinkler system is filled with water, trapped air migrates to the air vent valve location and is released through the open vent.

 

Monitoring

ECS-Inspector Corrosion Monitoring Station (pdf)

ECS-Detector Corrosion Monitoring Probe (pdf)

The corrosion rate in an FPS varies depending on a systems design and internal environment. Corrosion monitoring is a quantitative method for measuring the corrosion rate over time in an FPS. Corrosion monitoring provides the necessary feedback required to evaluate the FPS corrosion program efficacy.

The ECS-Inspector Corrosion Monitoring Station (ICMS) is a corrosion monitoring station with preinstalled corrosion coupons and corrosion monitoring probe (if ordered) that is installed in a FPS. The ICMS is designed to simulate conditions within both wet and dry pipe fire sprinkler system.

The ECS-Detector Corrosion Monitoring Probe (DCMP) automates internal corrosion monitoring in wet, dry and preaction fire protection systems. The DCMP also provides a way to continuously evaluate a fire sprinkler system's internal corrosion management program.

The DCMP consists of a corrosion monitoring probe and pressure switch that when used with the ECS-Inspector Corrosion Monitoring Station provides notification to the fire alarm/fire monitoring panel when there may be an elevated rate of corrosion occuring within the fire sprinkler piping.
