The anaerobic digestion process in biogas production is also corrosive . Here 304 ( L ) and 316 ( L ) will serve in most applications , but 904L is used where hydrogen sulphide is present , and SSC- 6MO where there are high chloride levels . In 2021 Sandvik Materials Technology ( now Alleima ) received an order to supply its Sanicro ® 28 grade for a US

biodiesel refinery . This is the first time this austenitic , originally developed for the fertiliser industry and also used in the upstream oil and gas industry , has been applied in a biodiesel plant . Here it was applied in the reactor effluent air coolers ( REAC ) of the hydro-processing unit . A year later , it was Alleima ’ s Sanicro ® 35 grade that was ordered for a biogas facility in Texas that processes landfill into natural gas . Sanicro ® 35 will be used to replace failed heat exchanger tubes made from 316L in a renewable natural gas plant in Texas .
