This technical white paper explores the design, fabrication, and lifecycle considerations for hypochlorite storage tanks, focusing on the use of titanium as the material of choice. Due to the challenges associated with hypochlorite storage, such as corrosive environments, traditional materials like carbon steel and stainless steel often face reduced lifespans. Titanium provides a durable, corrosion-resistant alternative, extending the service life of these tanks significantly. This paper covers essential design elements, compares ASME and API code standards, details fabrication techniques for both shop and field applications, and presents lifecycle cost analyses comparing titanium tanks to alternative materials.

Titanium Grade 2/2H (UNS R50400) is the workhouse alloy used in the Chemical Processing Industry (CPI) to combat against corrosion and give a long, maintenance-free life. This Grade is essentially pure titanium with a yield strength minimum of 40 ksi and a minimum ultimate tensile strength of 58 ksi for Grade 2H.

When you hear the word ‘titanium’, what do you think? Most people would think aerospace and airplane applications, when it is much more than that. Many also associate the word titanium with ‘expensive’, when in reality, it is actually cost effective.

Many would also think ‘unobtainable’, when it is readily available. While a majority of the titanium used today goes into the aerospace industry, there has been much progress made in the use of titanium in the corrosion control market – in chemical processing, refining, offshore, and other industrial markets. In fact, the use of titanium continues to grow as more and more design engineers, process engineers, reliability engineers, plant engineers, and company executives understand the value of this metal and its alloys, and specify its use for their projects that require corrosion resistance
