Other than glass & lead linings what are other possible options to protect a 15 kL Carbon Steel reactor for corrosive duty? The lining needs to be resistant to Methyl Ethyl Ketone & 0-25% H2SO4. Pressure is atmospheric & Temperature is between 30 to 60 C.

 

The lining needs to be installed on site to avoid complicated structural dismantling logistics.

 

I've heard of Tantalum but mostly for smaller parts. Would graphite or refractory brick be an option? 

 

Any other ideas? Of course, it's quite likely that the retrofit is unfeasible & a new vessel ordered is cheaper. But before I resign myself to that outcome,  I thought I'd just check for ideas.
