USING DESICCANT DEHUMIDIFICATION DURING SURFACE PREPARATION AND COATING OPERATIONS

Cost reductions of up to 35% can be realized when desiccant dehumidification is used during blasting coating operations inside tanks and other closed areas. This article will discuss benefits of this process as well as the concepts of psychrometrics and their relationships to the surface preparation and coating operations. Case studies will also be presented to substantiate these technologies
