A follow up question to my previous post: During an internet search I saw a company that makes microwave desiccant dryer units. They claim less energy and purge air useage. Any knowledge or experience with these? Is this new unproven technology?
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?
I do structural consulting work for chemical company. A couple of their large storage tanks have double bottoms separated by a 4" void filled with sand. The reason there are double bottoms is the original floors were found to be corroding and now probably even has holes in them. Leak detection...
