Some Basic Facts About LAKOS Separators:
Particle
Size Removal
LAKOS Separators are proven capable of 5-75 micron performance, and particles
as large as 1/4 inch to 2 inches (6-51 mm), depending on the model. Excellent
pre-filter to finer filtration and fluid treatment systems. Fibrous solids
also acceptable.
Flow
Range
LAKOS Separators feature individual units for 3 US gpm (0.7 m3/hr) up to 12,750
US gpm (2895 m3/hr). Easily manifolded for even higher (or variable) flow rates.
Pressure
Loss
LAKOS Separators operate continuously (no fluctuations) at a steady pressure
loss of only 3-12 psi (.2-.8 bar).
Liquid
Loss
LAKOS Separators can be purged with virtually zero liquid loss. Purging may
be periodic or continuous to suit application needs. No backwashing or filter
element cleaning. Reduces chemical make-up requirements.
Replacement
Parts
LAKOS Separators have no moving parts to wear out and no filter elements or
liners to replace.
Maintenance
Requirements
LAKOS Separators may be purged of separated solids without system interruption.
Easily automated for no maintenance routine. No filter cleaning. No duplicate
equipment needs.
Solids
Handling
LAKOS Separators can deliver virtually dewatered solids through a wide choice
of collection techniques for minimum waste and easy disposal or recovery.
Space
Requirements
LAKOS Separators are compact. Larger models may be specified at low or vertical
profile and/or with alternate inlet/outlet configurations to accommodate limited
space or piping needs.
Engineering & Tech
Support
LAKOS Separators can be easily retrofit to most systems. Complete system packaging
is available and customer specifications are welcome.
