Using a LAKOS Filtration System in a Side Stream application helps to reduce suspended solids in a systems mainstream flow by siphoning off a portion of the main flow (typically 5-25%). The solids are centrifugally separated from the liquid then the filtered liquid is returned back into the mainstream flow.

LAKOS Side Stream solutions help remove unwanted suspended particles from liquid supplies thus helping systems maintain thermal design efficiencies and extending the life of spray nozzles, heat exchangers, chillers, evaporative condensers, and other downstream processes.
