Microbiologically influenced corrosion (MIC) can occur anywhere in a fire sprinkler system which provides an environment favorable to bacteria colonization. Bacteria must obtain food (eat), mature (grow), exchange gases (breath), excrete (dispose of waste) and reproduce (multiply). Unfortunately, this type of environment may exist in a variety of places within a fire sprinkler system.
