Reliable Fluid Filtration for Critical Energy Storage Infrastructure

Salt domes serve as one of the most secure and efficient methods for storing large volumes of hydrocarbons—including crude oil, natural gas, LPG, and hydrogen. Through a process called solution mining, massive underground caverns are created within these salt formations. Their naturally impermeable, self-sealing structure makes them ideal for long-term energy storage, used by government reserves and private industry alike.

Salt domes are excavated using a process called solution mining, a process that involves injecting water into underground salt formations, dissolving the salt, and pumping out the resulting brine solution. During the creation and operation of these caverns, fluid quality is critical. Water used to dissolve salt, as well as the resulting brine, must be managed carefully to protect equipment and maintain system efficiency. That’s where LAKOS centrifugal separators come in.

By removing solids from injection water, extracted brine, and other process fluids, LAKOS systems help:

• Prevent wear on high-value equipment,
• Support safe and continuous operation, and
• Reduce maintenance and downtime in both the excavation and operational phases of storage caverns.

Whether you’re constructing new storage or maintaining existing salt dome infrastructure, LAKOS solutions ensure your fluid systems stay clean and reliable.
