![]() No single steel mill has implemented more solutions in the steel industry than the Mittal Steel plant located in Burns Harbor, Indiana (formerly Bethlehem Steel). Plate Steel Manufacturer Depends Heavily on LAKOS for Key Processes to Run Efficiently The separator was responsible for a 90% reduction in spray nozzle maintenance and replacement, reducing product rejections, and much higher productivity and profitability. With the installation of a LAKOS JPX Series Separator with an AutoPurge function at a Steel Mill in South Korea, an immediate improvement of overall conditions was seen at the mill.

Lukens Steel Company in Coatesville, Pennsylvania had several cooling towers become clogged, reducing hydraulic capacity and thermal efficiency. Lukens Steel Company Solves Several Cooling Water Filtration Problems In order to reduce the downtime of the sump, a complete LAKOS Separator “PREP” System was installed with a purge Liquid Concentrator and Shroud Disposal System, eliminating the need for costly shutdowns and repairs. With this problem, the sump was shutdown every two to three months with three men taking four days to clean and dispose of the accumulated solids. Solids-laden smoke is one of the biggest side effects of refining platinum which results in the accumulation of grit in an air scrubber’s sump, resulting in plugged manifold nozzles. Platinum Refinery Eliminates Sump Clean-Up Problems with Self-Cleaning System In order to remove cast iron particles from their washing operation, a steel shelving manufacturer chose to install two LAKOS LAX Separators allowing for clean liquid to be pumped in their tanks and allows for their fluid to be free of grit and sludge. Parts Washing Operation Reduces Water Loss With the introduction of three large LAKOS RFD Series Separators as well as LAKOS Automatic Purge Systems the mill now experiences maintenance free filtration as well as separation of process solids, elimination of maintenance costs, and much more. These problems became costly repairs and frequent downtime – they needed an answer. ![]() In Fontana, California a plate mill experienced spray nozzle replacements, plugged manifolds, and inconsistent quench treatment among other issues.
