Abstract

The influence of Fe~2~O~3~, pyruvate and a sealing putty on microbiologically induced corrosion in part of a copper cold‐water plumbing system in a large building was investigated. For this purpose, these three substances were injected into the pipe lumen of a non‐disinfected and a thermally disinfected section of a tap line affected by microbiologically induced corrosion. It was shown that these substances stimulate, in varying degrees, the microbiological corrosion of copper pipes.
