Moisture is a persistent challenge in compressed air systems, often leading to equipment damage, production delays, and increased maintenance costs. Atlas Copco’s portable compressed air dryers offer a rugged, dependable solution for removing moisture from compressed air in even the most demanding environments. Whether you require dry air on a construction site, during pipeline maintenance, or in a temporary setup, our compressed air dryer systems are designed to deliver clean, dry air wherever your work takes you.
Importance of moisture-free compressed air
Compressed air naturally contains water vapor. Without proper drying, this moisture can condense and cause serious issues such as corrosion, freezing, and contamination in downstream equipment. A high-performance air dryer for compressed air is essential to protect your investment, maintain operational efficiency, and ensure the quality of your end processes.
Atlas Copco's range of compressed air dryers is engineered to meet these challenges. Our portable compressed air dryers are compact, easy to deploy, and capable of delivering consistent performance in tough field conditions
Designed for Industry demands
Industries such as oil & gas, mining, chemical processing, and construction rely heavily on reliable air supply. Our compressed air dryer systems have been developed with these sectors in mind, offering the durability, performance, and portability required in high-demand, high-risk environments.
Whether you're renting equipment for a short-term project or managing operations in a remote drilling site, a portable compressed air dryer from Atlas Copco ensures that your compressed air is always clean and dry—regardless of location.
Advanced desiccant technologies
Atlas Copco offers both compressed air dryers with loose desiccant and advanced dryers equipped with Cerades™ technology. Traditional models use activated alumina to absorb moisture, while Cerades™ units feature a solid desiccant for enhanced performance.
Key advantages of Cerades™ technology include:
- Lower pressure drop
- Longer service intervals
- Greater drying efficiency
- Reduced environmental impact
Selecting the right technology depends on your specific requirements, including flow rate, ambient temperature, and available power sources.
