Mo-Kan SFPE is in the process of sponsoring a question writing session that is intended to serve the SFPE Committee for Professional Qualifications (CPQ), which is responsible for the fire protection PE exam. The session would last about 4 hours, either in the morning or afternoon with lunch provided on either the backend or frontend. Unfortunately, session is limited to licensed FPE's. The potential dates of the session are either September 25th or October 16th. If you are a Licensed FPE and you are interested, contact Darrell Stein at Darrell.stein@hendersonengineers.com for additional details.

Mr. Aaron has worked in the fire protection industry for almost 40 years. Mr. Aaron has 23+ years in installation, service, inspection and project management; and 13 years in design and consultation with fire protection engineering firm before joining ECS in 2014. Mr. Aaron has achieved NICET IV certification in Fire Alarm Systems; has been a member of NFPA Technical Committees, NICET Board of Governors, and is a past chairman of the NICET Board of Governors.
Mr. Aaron's presentation will discuss the benefits and practical application of using Nitrogen Gas to inert Wet and Dry Pipe Fire Sprinkler Systems to prevent and manage internal corrosion. Under a nitrogen atmosphere, oxygen corrosion, which is the primary cause of corrosion related failures in sprinkler systems, can be completely controlled resulting in reduced risk, enhanced performance, and extended life of the fire sprinkler system.
