316SS tubing
(OP)
Can anyone think of any problems that may be associated with using 316SS tubing as an air line for a sewage treatment plant.
The air line will be fully submerged in aerated sewage. Pressure is 30Kpa. Size 1 1/2"
Also thinking of running the return activated sludge from the STP in 316SS tubing, pressure 30Kpa, 1"

Consider GRP or rigid plastic tube.

You are right rnd2 ferric chloride does attack 316SS, i have seen that first hand!
In this case however there will be no ferric chloride used in this STP. The reason we are using SS as apposed to plastic is that the aeration line can get quite hot.

Good luck.

Often sub-pumps fail becuase of pinhole leaks in the welded joints. A little water (dirty) gets in and it is all over.

Corrosion, every where, all the time.
Manage it or it will manage you.

They will be welded joints.
The fabricator does a lot of work in the food industry using the 316SS tubing.
