  • Method of cleaning and passivating a fire protection system
    Patent number: 6345632
    Abstract: A method to chemically clean and immediately passivate a water distribution system to quickly form a passivation layer. The system may be a potable water system, a non-potable water system, a water well or a fire protection system such as a fire sprinkler system and may be treated with a biocide. A section of the system is isolated and chemically cleaned, then is immediately passivated using a high concentration of passivating agent. A passivating layer quickly forms, then the concentrated passivating agent is removed and a maintenance concentration of passivating agent is added. The cleaned and passivated section is restored to the system to provide improved water flow.
