Fire Protection System Design (types, standpipes, fire pumps)
Presenter(s) : William A. Grayzar, CPD, GPD, FASPE (DiClemente Siegel Design / ASPE EMC President)
Description: This class will provide an overview of the basic sprinkler system configurations, types of sprinkler systems (wet, dry,
pre-action, deluge), the various types of valves utilized and sprinkler head types, orientations, and applications.
T ECHNICAL SESSION
Fire Protection System Corrision Solutions
Presenter(s) : Bill Aaron (Engineered Corrosion Solutions)
This presentation discusses the science of corrosion in fire sprinkler systems. The benefits and practical application of using Nitrogen Gas to inert Wet Pipe, Dry Pipe and Preaction Fire Sprinkler Systems to prevent and manage internal corrosion. Under a nitrogen atmosphere, oxygen corrosion, which is the primary cause of corrosion related failures in sprinkler systems, can be completely controlled resulting in reduced risk (life safety, leak and business continuity), enhanced performance, and extended life of the fire sprinkler system.
Removing oxygen from both wet and dry (preaction) pipe fire sprinkler system piping by purging with nitrogen gas can reduce the cor-rosion rate in a fire sprinkler system by 99% and significantly extend the useful life of the piping.
