Mining is the essential process of extracting materials from the earth. It dates back to prehistoric times when the earliest humans mined flint, copper and gold. These basic materials were then used for tools, weapons, currency. Today, there is a wide array of mined products from the extraction of valuable materials. Mining is a growing industry with many varied processes and system designs depending on the extraction requirements, processing techniques, and restoration of the land after a mind is closed.

In the mining and mineral processing industries, several properties need to be considered for processing equipment. Chemical resistance, abrasion resistance, corrosion resistance, UV resistance, and integrity at elevated temperatures are all common requirements. Thermoplastics, more specifically fluoropolymers, excel in their chemical resistance and have proven success in applications using highly corrosive chemicals. Yet, of the wide range of fluoropolymers, PVDF is a material that not only displays this strong chemical resistance, but also has sustained mechanical integrity at elevated temperatures, allowing it to be both a free standing or supported structure. This paper will demonstrate thermoplastics applications, highlighting PVDF components. It will also include case histories within the mining and mineral processing industry.

Three platforms in the Santa Ynez Unit (SYU) field in the Santa Barbara Channel, platforms Heritage (HE), Harmony (HA), and Hondo (HO), were installed between 1979 and 1989, approximately 19 km (12 miles) west of Goleta, California in water depths between 259 m (850 ft) to 365 m (1200 ft). These platforms were previously retrofitted with ICCP sleds which were in decline, requiring additional Impressed Current Cathodic Protection (ICCP) anode output. Therefore, they were all retrofitted with additional ICCP systems in a single campaign to provide a 25-year life extension.

The life-cycle of concrete structures used in waste water systems should consider all factors that might cause a structural system to perform unacceptably at any point during its lifetime. This includes the progressive and sustained loss of load capacity caused by operational or environmental factors. In general terms, deterioration can be defined as a loss of structural load capacity with time as a result of the action of external agents causing chemical attacks or material weakening due to these environmental interactions.
