Dear all,

What is the proper material to be used for sour water vessels? currently our contractor is suggesting KCS+3mm 316L ss clad, or should we use SS?

Thanks in Advance.
 
The proper material is the one that meets stipulated performance and economic requirements. If there is a 316L cladding, why would you want a solid stainless steel vessel? More importantly, what was specified in the first place?

KCS+3mm 316L ss clad should be ok.
