NACE standards for a pump

NACE standards for a pump

NACE standards for a pump

(OP)
I have a water pump with 160ppm of H2s and around 200000ppm of chloride. The pump is in duplex.
Is this compatible with the NACE requirement

RE: NACE standards for a pump

"The NACE requirement" works with partial pressure of H2S in the gas phase. Start with deriving that value.

RE: NACE standards for a pump

20% Chloride, maybe a super duplex, though I would be looking at Ni alloys.
Is there any oxygen or CO2 in the fluid?

RE: NACE standards for a pump

I found the NACE requirment MR0175 and yes it work with the partial pressure of H2S (for 160ppm of H2S it's ok with the NACE requirment)
but i didn't find something for the chloride

RE: NACE standards for a pump

How did you calculate the partial pressure of H2S in a water system? There is no chloride restriction when a maximum H2S partial pressure criterion is applied.

RE: NACE standards for a pump

(OP)
I have 160ppm of H2S so if we suppose a ideal gas 160ppm -> 0.00016 volume fraction -> 0.00016 molar fraction --> 0.00016*100= 0.016%mole
i have the total pressure so the partial pressure= Pt*%mole
is it right?

RE: NACE standards for a pump

What is the max system pressure? That is what you multiply the vol fraction by.

The NACE spec doesn't refer to Cl levels, but if you want the equipment to last more than a few months you had better pay attention to it.

RE: NACE standards for a pump

160 ppm suggests dissolved H2S in the liquid. Look at Part 2, Annex C, C.2 and see if that provides any further assistance.

RE: NACE standards for a pump

(OP)
the Max system pressure is 20bar (290psi) --> partial pressure (psi)= 290*0.016/100=0.0464psi and if i refer to the Part3; A-7-2 table A.24 for duplex stainless steels Max partial pressure of H2S is 1.5 psi ---> so my pump in duplex is responding to the NACE requirement

I hope this is right and i'm really greatful you helped me alot both of you!!

Thank you !!
