Water and wastewater
Control humidity to reduce maintenance costs
Failing equipment and aging pipes due to condensation are among the biggest challenges facing water and wastewater treatment plant owners and operators. Munters broad range of robust, high-quality desiccant dehumidifiers safeguards the operation of essential water and wastewater treatment plants.
Condensation that forms when warm, moist air meets cold, hard surfaces causes corrosion on metal components such as valves and piping. Using heaters to dry condensation at water and wastewater treatment plants is expensive and ineffective since heating does not lower the dew point.
Using desiccant dehumidification to reduce the dew point below the temperature of the coldest pipes and surfaces provides a sound, energy-efficient alternative. If not addressed, pipes and sensitive monitoring equipment are prone to corrosion, posing the risks of costly unplanned maintenance and production stops. Removing moisture from the air with desiccant dehumidifiers is a proven way to prevent corrosion and safeguard your treatment plant.
Munters offers a broad range of robust, high-quality desiccant dehumidifiers for water and wastewater treatment plants.

Applications for water and wastewater
Prevent corrosion at your water treatment facility
Condensation is a constant challenge for water treatment facilities, especially during the warmer months. Even in cold climates, water flowing through piping is usually colder than the air, making waterworks situated in these climates susceptible to condensation.
Unless managed, condensation can form on sensitive monitoring equipment and steel piping, leading to corrosion over time. Moisture can damage remote monitoring equipment, and corroded piping, valves and fittings can lead to major repairs and shorten the plant’s lifespan.
Treating the air in the facility with Munters dehumidifiers effectively controls the humidity levels, ensuring more uptime.

Advantages:
- Protect piping and sensitive equipment
- Reduce the risk of discolored water
- Lower maintenance costs
Prevent mold formation
Microbial growth begins to take place when relative humidity levels reach 50-70%. In waterworks, humidity easily rises to these levels, causing condensation on pipes and walls. Such a damp environment becomes unpleasant and poses health risks to staff.
Unless moisture is removed, condensation forms on sensitive water treatment monitoring equipment and steel piping. Droplets can then fall onto surfaces below. Water droplets containing bacteria and mold may begin to smell and, in the worst case, pose health risks to staff. Treating the air in the facility with Munters dehumidifiers effectively controls humidity and helps eliminate microbial growth.
