Entropy The tendency of a system to move from order to disorder….
9
Entropy in Action The tendency of a system to move from order to disorder….
10
Barrier Filtration Barrier Filtration - Screens
11
Issues with Barrier Filters – Bags & Screens Bag/Screen Failures Misleading Flow Rate Variation Change Frequently Filtration not available during change out
12
Issues with Sand Media – Cooling Water Applications Significant Water Loss Loss of Filtration During Back Flush Infiltration of Media Surface Sealing Maintenance Space in large applications
14
LAKOS Separator
15
No moving parts to wear out No screen or filter element to plug/fill No maintenance required (backwashing+) No water loss Low / steady pressure loss Continuous / uninterrupted operation LAKOS Separator Benefits Centrifugal Filtration – Separators

ROI and Rule of 72 Saved: $46,481 LAKOS Cost: $75,000 Payback: ($75,000/$46,481) X 12 Months equals 19.36 months. 19.36 months/(12 months/year) = 1.61 years (72/1.61) * 100 = 44.72 % ROI
33
Value of Filtration Energy savings: 8-10% Maintenance savings: 60-90% Water savings: 5-10% Chemical savings: 5-15% Maintain Efficiency Extend Component Life Improve Productivity
