Some fires produce high levels of
hydrogen chloride gas, which forms a
very strong acid when combined with
moisture. This can quickly damage
industrial or electronic equipment. This
damage occurs rapidly, during the first
few hours and days after the fire.
It can also corrode and damage the
steel structure of industrial buildings.
We have two strategies for reducing
the damage from corrosion in the hours
and days after a fire.
We can protect the equipment by
applying a fog of an anti-corrosive
agent. This coats the equipment with a
very thin layer of water dispersant that
displaces moisture and so prevents
corrosion. In addition we will reduce
the humidity and maintain it at a low
level. This may require us to use the
industrial sized KrugerAir desiccant
dehumidifiers.
You will like the option of being able to
have materials blasted as this process
will give you a result not achievable by
any other means. Fire stained roof
timbers are not cleanable as the
contamination has penetrated just
below the surface. Grit or soda blasting
removes a few millimetres and reveals
the timber as a newly sawn surface.
Stained stone-work can also be
restored by blasting.
