Success in today's highly competitive building management business depends upon high tenant occupancy, controlled expenses and most importantly - uninterrupted and trouble free operation. That means no unexpected shutdowns, no major equipment and service failures and no high cost emergency repairs. One of the most potentially destructive events that any building owner or operator can face is the weakening of their HVAC piping system due to advanced corrosion problems.

Predictive maintenance programs provide an answer to the conflicting demand to provide more reliable building services at lower cost and with limited personnel. Advanced corrosion of piping systems has become a very serious problem for many facility managers and engineers. There is a need for the best possible program for corrosion control and monitoring of critical HVAC piping services.
