Hydrogen sulfide and other sulfide gases from the drain biofilm cause "creep corrosion" on the motherboard's gold contacts and silver solder joints. It appears months after the problem begins. Green Drain™ eliminates the H₂S source — a safety measure for uptime.
ASHRAE TC9.9 and Telcordia GR-63 specify limits for corrosive gases in data centers. Conditions in the building can exceed the allowable limits if drain biofilm is not under control.
ASHRAE TC9.9 and Telcordia GR-63-CORE define limits for the data centre environment. The Uptime Institute rates reliability Tier I to Tier IV. ANSI/TIA-942 prescribes environmental controls. EU GDPR and Irish data residency drive demand for local hyperscale capacity — Ireland hosts one of Europe's most concentrated data centre clusters.

The data center doesn't allow improvisation. Everything goes through formal change management and a maintenance window. Our installation takes 30 minutes per restroom.
Data center drainage system overview — where the P-traps are in relation to the machine room.
Sanitary fixtures and corridor — 30 days, measurement of H₂S and SO₂.
Formal process — enters the maintenance schedule.
Maintenance window — one per restroom every 30 minutes.
Irish data centres (Meta, Google, Microsoft, AWS, Oracle, Equinix, EdgeConneX) are built to Tier II–IV standards. Sanitary and staff areas use conventional DN50. Mechanical zones, CRAC rooms and UPS rooms are the technical side — silicone seals withstand up to +60 °C in hot aisles.
We are sending the technical documentation, EN 1253 compliance, and the ASSE 1072-2020 report. The auditor is requesting proof that the risk of corrosive gases is controlled—the drainage system is part of that control.
Yes. Pre-installation and post-installation measurements of H₂S, SO₂, and CH₄ at strategic points in the area.
Green Drain™ doesn't work alone — for maximum drain control it's combined with GD Uri-Tabs™ (urinals) and GreenSwirl™ (biofilm bio-cleaning).
Patented silicone seal for floor drains in mechanical rooms and restroom facilities. ASHRAE TC9.9-compliant design that does not disrupt the temperature profile.
Bio-enzyme urinal tablets for operating room restrooms. No volatile chemicals that could enter the HVAC system.
Biofilm cleaning in the sewer systems of administrative zones. No aggressive chemicals that corrode metals (H₂S is the source of the problem).
We come to the site, map the drains, and provide a written recommendation—no cost, no obligation.
