Material for pump
(OP)
For one of the refinery plant , the MOC of the Fractionator bottom pump is Carbon steel. The Hydrocarbon pumping temperature is around 340 Degc. The above MOC is specified in the process licensor document. Is Carbon steel material suitable for such high temperature services? Thanks to clarify.

We have three crude units. None of them has a Gas Oil distillation tower. We take the Gas Oil from our vacuum tower directly with no further distillation. With our crude slate, the gas oil from the vacuum tower has the greatest problem with Naphthenic Acid. I would not consider carbon steel for these streams. But, this is because of our crude.
