Sour Water Service

[sdwndr]

Good afternoon all,

Can anyone provide some guidelines for specifying pumps for use in sour water service?

I am looking into a 561 GPM, 280 feet of water pump that will be pumping 0.92 wt% H2S and 0.64 wt% NH3.

I am looking for any tips, but in particular for materials of construction, mechanical seal types, etc. Thanks in advance.

Also, temperature will be 150 deg F.

Nickel Development Institute Reference Book No 11 004 and NACE MR0103 will be worth consulting.
