Bulletin 230 Effective 6/15/93

NOTES: 1. Use ceramic plunger in packed plunger pump. 2. As slurry, use for mother liquor. 3. At pH 8.5 or over. 4. Includes primary, secondary and tertiary. Also aliphatic and aromatic. Tertiary amines over 120F require 316SS construction. 5. Cast iron is satisfactory for neutralized filming amines up to 120F. 6. For approximate neutral solutions. Where pH is adjusted, recommendations will be affected accordingly. 7. Solution of lime slurry concentrations to 21% solids with slaked lime and to 50% solids with hydrated lime. 8. Solution with concentrations to 15% and temp. of 105F. 9. Use continuous flushing connections. 10. Carbonated beverages, water solutions of carbon dioxide. 11. Solutions in concentrations to 45% and temp. to 120F. 12. Satisfactory for concentrations less than 35%. Above 35% concentration no alloys containing molybdenum should be used. Use 304SS.

13. Cast iron satisfactory at temperatures below 75F and concentrations above 80%. 14. Inverted valves and special construction to obtain seating of valves required. 15. Use Alloy C valve seats and ball valves. 16. Use 440SS ball valves. 17 Use internal flushing. 18. Includes many water treating chemicals such as meta phosphates and other phosphates higher than tripolyphosphate such as Hagan Phosphate, Calgon, Buromin and Micromat. 19. Cold and unaerated. 20. Absorption of moisture from the air dilutes exposed acid and increases corrosion. 21. If titanium dioxide must remain white, use 316SS. 22. Use high alumina ceramic ball valves. 23. Use hard balls and seats if pressure is over 200 psig.
