Desiccant dryer problems
(OP)
Our plant has heated desiccant dryers for instrument air. The desiccant comes in small spheres but is disintegrating into powder and clogging the after filters. Heating elements are failing due to corrosion of the tube shields. How are these two problems related?

Consider fitting a Cyclone separator at the compressor outlet. This will reduce moisture vapor carry-over by approx 98% and reduce the loading on the desiccant driers. Wright-Austin are the makers of these cyclones, also ensure you fit an auto drain on the cylone to dump collected moisture.
