Dehumidification in Water and Wastewater Facilities

water facility

Humidity is a common problem in water and wastewater treatment facilities, which can lead to various problems and issues that can not only affect the machinery but also lead to compromised water quality and even result in illness. To prevent these issues and ensure the efficient operation of the facilities, the use of industrial dehumidification equipment is essential. Here is where Bry-Air’s desiccant dehumidifiers are highly effective solutions for these high-humidity locations.

The Impact of Humidity in Water and Wastewater Facilities

Water and wastewater facilities are prone to high levels of humidity which result from the unavoidably damp environment. This moisture can cause a variety of issues that affect the efficiency and effectiveness of the treatment process.

  • Condensation: When moisture in the air condenses onto cold pipes, valves, and pumps, it can result in rust, paint deterioration, and failure of electrical components. 
  • Corrosion: Humidity can weaken and damage equipment and structures, which can lead to leaks and other problems that may disrupt the treatment process and cause costly downtime.
  • Contamination: A moist location can act as a breeding ground for developing bacteria, fungi, and mold. These can all result in contaminated water, risking illness and disease.
  • Cosmetic Issues: High humidity levels can cause paint to peel, blister, and degrade, which can lead to not only an unsightly appearance but also damage to the underlying surfaces. 

How Can Bry-Air Desiccant Dehumidifiers Help?

At Bry-Air, we offer a range of dehumidification systems and products. For water and wastewater facilities, the most suitable are our Bry-Air desiccant dehumidifiers. These effectively remove moisture in a number of ways while providing a range of benefits.

  • Moisture is absorbed from the air by using a desiccant material like silica gel.
  • This material can remove large amounts of moisture even in low temperatures and high-humidity environments.
  • Bry-Air desiccant dehumidifiers are capable of operating in a wide range of temperatures and humidity levels. This includes temperatures as low as -60 degrees Fahrenheit and relative humidity levels higher than 90%. This makes them well-suited for use in water and wastewater treatment facilities, where humidity levels can fluctuate widely.
  • These dehumidifiers are energy-efficient because they don’t require refrigerants, meaning they consume less energy, have a lower environmental impact, and can even warm up the working environment for employees.
  • In addition, the Bry-Air desiccant dehumidifiers are designed to be easy to install and maintain. They are compact and can be easily integrated into the existing HVAC system, meaning a quick and easy installation.
  • Additionally, routine maintenance is straightforward and can be done by plant personnel.
