Materials

Hi,

Could somebody give me some advise regarding valve stem seals and bonnet gaskets for valves in high temp seawater service with flue gas (above 400°C). Graphite is not an option due to possible galvanic action.
Does anybody have experience with alternative materials/solutions within this application?

Thanks in advance for any help.

Regards,
