Protect Your Cold Storage Facility
Say Goodbye to Ice Plugs, Leaks, and Corrosion!
ECS saves you up to 75% on system maintenance by eliminating leaks and corrosion, while offering advanced nitrogen solutions to prevent ice plugs and freeze damage. Pinpoint and solve corrosion issues without full system replacement!
Cold Storage Challenges Impact Your Budget, Goods, and Safety
- Ice plugs cause dangerous blockages, putting your compliance at risk, leading to expensive repairs.
- Oxygen corrosion accelerates pipe failure in low-temperature environments, shortening your pipes' lifespan.
- Ongoing leaks or blockages threaten compliance and stored goods.
- Regular system checks—or worse, full system replacements—disrupt operations and exceed budgets.
- Traditional air compressor/dryer setups struggle to mitigate ice plug risks.
Why Nitrogen Generators Are the Right Choice for Cold Storage Facilities
- Serve more systems with a single nitrogen generator than with air compressors
- No ice plugs—ensures compliance and operational safety
- Mitigates corrosion in areas maintained above freezing (loading docks, coolers)
- Reduces maintenance costs and labor compared to dry air pacs
- Saves on new construction costs—NFPA 13 allows reduced pipe or fire pump sizes with nitrogen systems
- Lowers energy usage and environmental impact

Frequently Asked Questions
A Corrosion Assessment is the process of evaluating the corrosion status of a system or structure to identify potential corrosion problems that could lead to equipment failure or safety hazards. It is absolutely crucial to have the appropriate tools in place in order to guarantee the continued safety of a given location.
At ECS, we have a team of experts who are highly skilled in conducting corrosion assessments. Our professionals are equipped with state-of-the-art equipment to evaluate the corrosion status of your system, and you can trust us to provide you with unparalleled service and accurate results.
Corrosion can occur without out any external visible signs. It's a gradual, natural process that starts internally and can remain undetected until leaks develop and corrective action must be taken.
If corrosion causes a sprinkler system to fail, it can result in equipment damage, downtime, and profitability losses. Most importantly, it can put people at risk in the event of a fire.
Corrosion starts when oxygen and moisture come into contact with metal. This process is called oxidation. When metal oxidizes, it weakens, and over time, this weakening can lead to safety hazards or equipment failure.
That’s why it's important to be proactive about corrosion assessment – the consequences of equipment failure or safety hazards can be severe.
Performing a Corrosion Risk Assessment will give you the data and insight you need to be able to implement the most cost-efficient remediation and prevention strategy possible. During many past projects, ECS has been able to recommend a strategy that avoids significant pipe replacement and saves the client up to 90% compared to the next best alternative.
