Material Selection for high sulphur crude oil pump
(OP)
Trying to determine best materials of construction for a centrifugal pump in slop oil service. The worst case conditions are:
total sulphur number of 4.0 wt %, acid number of 3.0 (mgKOH/g), a specific gravity of 1, and a temperature of 100 C.
currently we have an older cast iron pump in similar service but significantly lower sulphur content.
Any suggestions are appreciated.

Assuming that the originator doesn't have access to Shell documentation, they could always start by looking at Annex G of ISO 13709.
