Why do I need filtration?
Filtration
prolongs the life of pumps, nozzles, water treatment, ultra-filtration
and other machinery by minimizing wear caused by solids accumulation
and
circulation,
as well as minimizes the threat of particle-related diseases such as
Legionella in cooling
towers and
pneumonia. For more information, visit the LAKOS
Training Center.
Why use a LAKOS Separator vs some other kind of filtration?
LAKOS
Separators effectively remove solids from liquids using centrifugal
action by way of a very unique separator design (see How
It Works). There are no moving parts, which means nothing to replace
or maintain on a regular basis. Because no disposable filters are involved,
liquid loss is minimal and no cleaning or replacement time is needed.
Other advantages LAKOS separators have over other forms of filtration
include:
- Little or no water loss
- Low and steady system pressure drop
- A compact, installation-ready design
