about pipe

(OP)
my question is how to select pipe for effluent characteriastics,for handling acids,dyes and intermediates with organics.
i am working in effluent treatment plant project,for that i want to choose best material of construction.
i want to use FRP pipe, is it safe,
my application temp goes to 95 c.

RE: about pipe

hi,
since u work in a effluent treatment plant,the effluent stream characteristics will not be constant. since u r handling acids, organics, the best material of construction is SS316. but this is costly material. PVC pipes are inert to most fluids, but u would have to check MOC in some handbook like Perry's, Merck Index etc. FRP pipes are also resistant to most fluids but there is a question about their strength to withstand stresses like high temperatures, dead weight loading, bending moments etc.

RE: about pipe

There are also treated PVC pipes that are designed to withstand temperatures about 100 deg C, and they are far less expensive than SS.
