Hi Guys -
I currently have a floating ball valve that operates in a Mono Ethylene Glycol (MEG) Regeneration Package. The piping spec that it is on is B1E (Carbon Steel, Pressure Class 300, Corrosion Allowance 3mm). I would like to replace it with a new design and am stuck with two options. If you can help me identify which one would be the best option and why. Appreciate your help.
