What coating protects stainless steel from sulfuric acid?

Our customer has stainless steel tubes that are used to process waste water and treat human waste. They will be subject to sulfuric acid and other corrosives. What can I coat the stainless steel tubes with to protect them?

Teflon or plastisol should do it. I rather doubt that a paint or thermoset powder will be impervious enough. Good luck.
