Timer-based motorized ball valve and other techniques are available. Consult LAKOS for more details. 3.

3. Pressure Gauges: The gauges installed on the inlet & outlet of the LAKOS Separator help monitor proper flow through the separator. They are NOT indicative of solids accumulation and should NOT be used to determine when to purge the separator. -

(see page 4 for separator weight with water). The use of expansion joints is advisable with all separator installations. It is particularly recommended that these devices be employed when piping arrangements cannot comply with the configurations suggested by LAKOS product literature. - Page 9 (135-720 liters); that’s a combination of both solids and liquid. The variable takes into account the separator size, flow rate and system pressure. Allow adequate drainage or retention capacity for this volume per purge cycle. Consult LAKOS for options to further concentrate solids and recover/manage purged liquid.

Air Relief Ports: The appropriate air relief ports should be used at start-up to expel air from the separator. If the separator will be drained periodically or exposed to entrained air or gases from the piping system, air vents should be permanently installed.
