Slurry, Corrosion, Remote Operations and Water: Valves That Keep Mines Running

About this episode

This episode discusses the challenges and solutions related to valve failures in mining operations.

Valve failures in mining drive unplanned downtime, safety hazards, environmental exposure, and lost production. Abrasive slurries, cavitation, and corrosive acids each attack valves in different ways, yet all lead to the same outcome: shortened service life and rising maintenance costs. A podcast analyzing available solutions.
