USING DESICCANT DEHUMIDIFICATION DURING SURFACE PREPARATION AND COATING OPERATIONS

Cost savings of up to 35% are attainable when dessicant dehumidification is used during blasting operations inside tanks and other closed areas. The benefits of the process are discussed, as are the concepts of psychometrics and their relationships to the surface preparation and coating operations. Case studies to substantiate the technologies are also presented.
