Dehumidification can and has been used in many applications in the power plant industry. The main purpose in the power plant industry is the same as in any other industry; to save time and money. Corrosion being one of the biggest problems in a power plant, dehumidification has been used to eliminate some of the aspects that cost a company time and money.

Use dehumidification in the power plant industry for:

• During lay-ups, shutdowns, or turnarounds, dehumidification is used to prevent corrosion on the:

  • Wet-side of boiler
  • Turbines out of service
  • Motors while out of service
  • Any other area that corrosion can be a issue

  

• During the initial start up of a power plant, corrosion can be a big hindrance on the plants capacity and effectiveness. This can cost a plant thousands upon millions of dollars. Using dehumidification can:

  • Minimize corrosion and prevent delays during start up procedures

  

• During the blasting and coating of tanks, vessels (stacks) or inside contained areas:

  • Aids in "holding the blast"
  • No more weather related work delays
  • Schedule a project any time of year
  • Be able to work on a project 24 hours a day
  • Increase production by 30% or more
  • Apply coating across entire area at one time. No blast clean and prime daily
  • Apply coating under proper conditions instead of every changing natural conditions
  • Reduces other costs (inspectors and out of service time) with shorter time schedules
  • Give your project the best chance for it to be successful
