Microbiologically influenced corrosion (MIC) has become a hot topic recently, and for good reason. Corrosion as a result of MIC-causing bacteria has become a problem in virtually every industry, and has recently infiltrated the fire protection sprinkler industry. This destructive menace is responsible for clogged pipes and pin-hole sized leaks in piping systems due to corrosion and oxidation that require costly repair and pose a risk to human life.

This website aims to provide useful information regarding MIC, including research on the topic, technical information, preventative advice, as well as available solutions. It is our hope that armed with this knowledge, we will all be better equipped in the fight against fire protection system failure.
