Is it recommended to use Super Austenitic (high in Cr and Ni but not Mo)Stainless Steel in place of DSS ? Assuming a system with high chlorides.

You need more information - temperature, pH and chloride content. Once you have these process parameters, there is plenty of literature to review to make a choice.
 
Assume a Chloride content of 140000ppm, pH2S of 9 mbar, Temp. = 70degC, pH = 5

Is PREN No. enough to make a choice ?
 
There is no DSS that will stand up under those conditions.
Ni based Ni-Mo-Cr or Ni-Cr-Mo will be needed.

Mo is how you make superaustinitic alloys, they are all 6 -7% Mo, it is critical to their corrosion resistance.

Neither DSS nor super austenitic stainless steels are acceptable. See metengr & EdStainless.
 
A182 F20, A182 F56 have high nickel but less than 6Mo. Are they not considered super austenitic ?

Can these be used for DSS ?
 
No. F20 is a super austenitic stainless steel, F56 is considered a duplex stainless steel.
 
I believe, F56 has 31& Nickel and is listed under Austenitic Stainless Steel in A182 however I will recheck.

but my question here is sir, whether F20 being super austenitic can be used for Duplex Stainless Steel as it has only 2-3% Mo.

 
F20 is alloy 20, very good in sulfuric acid service, but not suitable for high Cl applications.
