Phi Sigma General Trading L.L.C, a distinguished partner of Munters in the UAE, specializes in providing solutions and services for highly regulated environments. When Gulf Drug, a prominent storage company for pharmaceuticals and based in the Gulf region, encountered challenges with one of their cold storage, Phi Sigma reached out to Munters for assistance. The client operates a cold room facility with a capacity of 160 cubic meters, maintaining a constant temperature of 4°C. The cold room primarily serves the purpose of pharmaceutical storage, necessitating stringent control over relative humidity levels to meet regulatory standards set by the Ministry of Health (MOH). Despite existing cooling units, the client faced challenges in maintaining relative humidity below 60%, prompting the exploration of alternative solutions.
