Hi,

we have to transport (piping) and store (storage tank)tallow at a temperature of 150F with a TAN of 6.2 mg KOH/gr, Sulphur at 50 ppmwt, Nitrogen at 236 ppmwt, Na at 53 ppmwt, Ca at 5 ppmwt, K at 40 ppmwt, P at 194 ppmwt, Mg at 11 ppmwt and Si at 17 ppmwt.

Do you think Carbon steel will be appropriate for the service for both equipment (piping and storage tank)?

Do you have good references to suggest me on the subject to help me out in my final decision?

Thank in advance,

hcjulien
