| LAKOS by Comparison 
The following criteria determine the suitability of any
filter for a given application. Use these to judge LAKOS versus anything else under
consideration.
Particle size removal
LAKOS Separators are proven capable of 5-75 micron
performance. Excellent pre- filter to finer filtration requirements and fluid treatment
systems
Flow range
LAKOS Separators feature individual units for 3 U.S.gpm
(0.7m3/hr)
up to 12,750 U.S.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 4.5-12 psi(32-84 kpa). Compare to screens
and barrier filters, which build-up to very high pressure losses.
Liquid loss and solids handling
LAKOS Separators require no excessive backwashing.
Low- flow periodic purging or a controlled bleed technique can achieve zero liquid loss.
Selected solids collection options ensure minimum waste and easy disposal/ recovery.
Replacement parts
LAKOS Separators have no moving parts to wear out and
no filter elements or liners to clean or replace.
Maintenance requirements
LAKOS Separators maybe purged of separated solids
without system interruption. Easily automated for no maintenance routine. No filter
cleaning. No duplicate equipment needs.
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 and tech support
LAKOS Separators can be easily retrofit to most
systems. Complete system packaging is available. Customer specifications are welcome.
Application and product engineering is staffed for immediate customer needs. |
