Portable Membrane Dehydration System

When you need to remove large amounts of water from your reservoirs, but the lack of portability and electrical requirements of a conventional VAC Dehydration system hinders your efforts, this system has you covered. Built with your needs in mind, this unit is designed to be portable and easy to get around while 110 Volts makes it easy to find power. Utilizing a standard filter cart frame, this unit is easy to transport and move through doors, catwalks, and most hard to reach areas a conventional dehydrator cannot fit. The Portable Vacuum Dehydrator has the ability to filter oil viscosities up to 600 cSt (ISO VG 680) at 100°F within ambient temperature ranges of -15°F to 180°F. This unit is 100% customizable upon request. 

Membrane Dryer Technology:

The advanced separation technology allows the water to pass directly from the oil into a dry air stream (or vacuum). This is achieved without any of the problems usually associated with conventional vacuum purifiers (foaming, flooding, viscosity changes, etc.). Oil flows through the system and over the patented structured packing which distributes the oil into relatively thin films with a large contact area. Dry compressed air is used to create a driving force for the mass transfer of the water to diffuse from the oil and into the air. The air with dissolved water vapor is then exhausted to atmosphere. 

Air Dryer Technology:

Humid (compressed) air enters the membrane and its hollow fibers. A small amount of purged air is metered and directed to the outside of the fibers. Humidity is transferred through the fiber and is sent through the module to atmosphere as humid air. Dried air is sent out as low as -40 degrees or lower dew point.
