3. Pair of Dimes - Paradigm

4. Paradigm – Frame of Reference

5. Frame of Reference – Self-Imposed Limits

6. Open Mind
The Mind is
like a
parachute…it
only works
when it is
open!

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

32. 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
