[MW:2514] RE: 2513] Brine Tank Material Selection

I don't know the size of your tank, but you can consider a lined (PTFE,
PP, PE) carbon steel tank

Subject: [MW:2513] Brine Tank Material Selection


I have an old carbon steel brine tank which is severly corroded and
needs to be replaced. The brine solution contains ~ 10% salt (NaCl) and
1% caustic (NaOH) at 110 deg F. The tank is used intermittently in a
batch process: filled for a few hours then drained and left empty for 2
days. It is open to the atmosphere.

Initialy I was considering using 316 SS, but have been reading that
pitting could be a problem with the chloride. What material should be
used in this application?

Thanks for your help.
