Protecting Stored Goods from Moisture and Corrosion
Uncontrolled humidity in storage environments causes corrosion, mould, condensation, and material degradation — affecting everything from steel coils and industrial equipment to archives, spare parts, and organic materials. DST desiccant dehumidifiers maintain the precise relative humidity levels needed to protect stored goods over the long term, with minimal energy use and virtually no maintenance.
Humidity Control for Any Storage Environment
The requirements for storage dehumidification vary significantly depending on what is being stored. Steel and metal products require RH below 50% to prevent rust formation. Organic materials such as leather, textiles, and archival documents need RH below 70% to prevent fungal growth. Food storage facilities require carefully controlled conditions to prevent bacterial proliferation and spoilage.
DST systems are configured to meet the specific humidity setpoint of each application — whether that is a warehouse for steel coils, an underground rock chamber for oil storage, a turbine preservation facility, or a cold storage room. Dry air is supplied continuously, ensuring stable conditions year-round regardless of external climate.
