hello folks
for high acidity flow media ( high sulfuric acid content) what are the options for hydraulic operated pump control valves and surge anticipating valves?
who are manufacturers of suitable valves or alternative arrangements?

many thanks

All big vendors should help you. let say Emerson and others.
Note: a better description of the chemicals within the solution will help us and you to get an effective support.
Use your favorite search engine, key words: control valve fluoro material

98% sulfuric acid is OK to work with until you add some water. Then you could need some very exotic materials. We have applications that require Tantalum pipe spools at the point water is added. You do need to define the pH range of your acid.
