Real-world strategies for combatting slurry wear, high pressure, and extreme abrasion.
Across North America, mining operations must balance aging assets with ongoing expansions, debottlenecking efforts, and evolving process demands. Abrasive slurries, corrosive chemicals, and water-intensive circuits continue to increase downtime, safety risk, and maintenance burden, especially at existing sites pushed beyond their original design limits.
In many of these environments, valve technologies play a critical role in mine reliability, yet their impact is often underestimated until failures occur. Valve design, materials of construction, sealing performance, and actuation choices directly influence wear rates, leakage risk, maintenance frequency, and the ability to operate and monitor assets reliably across processing and tailings circuits.
This webinar examines common sources of downtime in mining operations and discusses practical design and lifecycle decisions for valve technologies that affect reliability, maintainability, and long-term performance.
