(OP)
I am in the process of installing new sulfuric acid piping and storage system in a alumina production plant,and I would appreciate any guidance on material selection and the best pump to overcome a head of 50 feet, the ambient temp is about 40C.

RE: assistance needed

B8K!

In our sulphuric acid plant we used to have centrifugal pumps made up of CF8M and with carbon steel piping.

Truth: Even the hardest of the problems will have atleast one simple solution. Mine may not be one.

RE: assistance needed

Check some of the mfr's - GIW Industries has a white iron T90 that works in high corrosion applications

RE: assistance needed

PVDF Diaphragm Pump with PTFE Elastomers would probably be fine

RE: assistance needed

Don't ever let a vendor do an engineers job and size the pump for you...   what a world....
