Deep sea mining riser and lift system

[cicididi]

Economic extraction of SMS deposits is largely in the theoretical stage, the biggest complication being the extreme water depths at which these deposits are forming. Thus, there remains a need for a deep sea mining riser and lift system for chrome mining pump
and producing solids, such as seafloor massive sulfide (SMS) deposits.
The chrome mining pump disclosed and taught herein are directed to improved systems and methods for a deep sea mining riser and lift system for mining and producing solids including seafloor massive sulfide (SMS) deposits.
Applicants have created a method and system of deep sea mining comprising mining SMS deposits from the sea floor with a subsea miner, pumping the solids from the subsea miner through a jumper and pumping the solids from the jumper up a riser to a surface vessel.
