specifically designed to remove these larger, heavier solids from the fluid stream and safely purge them to another location.
Separators and other Filtration Systems help increase process efficiency, reduce maintenance cost, and lower energy costs by removing suspended particles in liquid systems.

We Play A Key

ROLE IN
  • Improving water quality to specified TSS and micron rating
  • Reducing the frequency of filter changes and maintenance
  • Maintaining equipment and process design efficiency

Where separators work

Pre-Filtration

Using a LAKOS Separator as a pre-filter before finer filtration improves efficiency and minimizes liquid loss. As a result

  • Reduce disposal cost
  • Minimize labor, maintenance downtime, and filter media replacement costs
  • Extend the life of fine filtration and water treatment systems
  • Increase the life of filter cartridges, bags, and eliminates water treatment processes

Protect Spray Nozzles

LAKOS Separators remove solids that clog spray nozzles and other small orifices. This helps to:

  • Maintain original nozzle design for efficient and consistent spray coverage
  • Prevent wear, abrasion, and clogging – reducing the frequency of nozzle replacement

Prevent Solids Accumulation in Sumps and Basins

Using a LAKOS Separator as part of your process cooling system minimizes the accumulation of solids that settle in sumps and basins. As a result

  • Fewer shutdowns
  • Reduce solids build-up and decreases clean out time
  • Avoids solids-induced microbial growth, decreases chemical use, and increases process liquid life

Protect Heat Exchangers

LAKOS Separators provide effective protection for heat exchangers against fouling. As a result

  • Maintain design efficiencies for efficient heat transfer rates
  • Reduce maintenance frequency for heat exchanger equipment
  • Remove suspended grit, dirt, and scale

Reduce Waste

LAKOS Separators remove solids from liquids in your industrial process and allow the reuse of valuable liquid. As a result

  • Reduce disposal cost
  • Extend life of process liquids by removing troublesome solids
  • Concentrates solids for easy disposal or allows for recovery of high value solids
  • Reduces replacement of  filter elements/media
  • Improves water chemistry
