N2-Blast® - Corrosion Inhibiting System

N2-Blast"The Green Solution to Inhibiting Corrosion"

The N2-Blast - Corrosion Inhibiting System for dry and preaction Fire Protection Systems (FPS) is designed to generate and introduce high purity Nitrogen (N2) into the sprinkler system as a supervisory gas.

Traditionally, compressed air is used as a supervisory gas for such systems. However, the constant presence of oxygen in the compressed air supports corrosion of the steel or galvanized piping. This corrosion, more specifically, microbiologically influenced corrosion (MIC), has been identified as a real threat to the integrity of sprinkler systems. Once corrosion is present in the piping, future repairs are inevitable and are costly. The best alternative, Nitrogen, is a clean, dry, non-flammable, inert gas and does not support the corrosion reaction.

Using Nitrogen to Protect Your Fire Protection System

Nitrogen is a clean, dry, non-flammable, inert gas. The N2-Blast, Nitrogen Generator, supplies N2 on demand at low pressure making it a safer alternative to using high pressure Nitrogen cylinders. Where the Nitrogen cylinders must be handled with extreme care, are heavy, and must be stored and chained up at all times, the N2-Blast system is compact and generates its own high purity Nitrogen. There is no longer a need to monitor the Nitrogen supply to the FPS or reorder Nitrogen cylinders, therefore making the N2-Blast a more convenient, cost effect and worry free solution to inhibit FPS corrosion.

Why Be Concerned About Corrosion in
Dry or Preaction Sprinkler Systems?

FPS Corrosion:

  • Causes pipe degradation resulting in pinhole leaks [Read More...]
  • Leads to costly, ongoing sprinkler pipe repair/replacement
  • Prevents a Fire Protection System (FPS) from activating correctly in the event of a fire

Understanding Corrosion

What Can You Do To Be Proactive?
