Best Material for high CO2 Content

Best Material for high CO2 Content

Best Material for high CO2 Content

(OP)
Hello!

We are designing a new unit for recovering liquid hydrocarbons from a gas stream, which has a CO2 content of 10% molar.

The stream is taken downstream from a gas dehydration (Tri-ethylene glycol) unit, and the water content of this stream is 12 lb/MMSCF of gas.

The system pressure is about 1600 psig, and therefore the partial pressure of the CO2 in the stream is high (160 psig).

Due to this high CO2 partial pressure, and the presence of this water content on the stream, are we required to use Stainless Steel, or can we use Carbon Steel??

Is there any paper/book/reference/website where I can look further in this topic?

Any help is very well appreciated.

Regards,

ChemE2912
