I need to feed Sulphuric acid @98% to neutralize a discharge water in a basin. This concrete basin will be covered with a Carbon steel hot dip galvanized structure. I would like to know if the acid vapours produced inside the basin can cause corrsion problems to the galvanized cover and in this case which kind of painting can be suitable to protece the galvanized steel.

Thanking you in advance,

Davide
