Moisture protection for Chemicals
Deep drying, process adsorbents and packaging desiccants for hygroscopic chemical products.
The context
What makes this sector different
Chemical manufacturers need adsorbents in two places: inside the process, drying solvents and gas streams, and around the product, keeping hygroscopic material dry in the drum. The specification is usually tighter than packaging duty and is often written as a dew point.
Our approach
Molecular sieve where the target is very low water content, activated alumina where liquid water contact is possible, silica gel for packaging and drum-level protection. We will size the bed or the charge against your flow and dew point target.

Moisture risks
What goes wrong in Chemicals
Each of these has its own threshold and its own failure signature. Knowing which one you are fighting is what sets the target humidity.
Hygroscopic product caking
Salts and powders take up ambient moisture and set solid in the drum.
Solvent water content
Reactions sensitive to water need solvents dried well below what silica gel achieves.
Catalyst deactivation
Trace moisture poisons sensitive catalyst systems.
Corrosion of process equipment
Wet gas streams corrode downstream pipework and instrumentation.
Specification drift on storage
Water content rises over shelf life and moves product out of specification.
