Is Microbiologically Influenced Corrosion (MIC) a new problem?
No, many other industries (e.g. oil and gas) have been fighting microbiologically influenced corrosion (MIC) for years and years. These industries have spent many hours and lots of money developing ways to control all types of corrosion in their systems, including MIC. The fire protection industry has recently started to investigate corrosion’s negative effect on fire sprinkler systems.
