Dryer Technologies
Refrigerated Air Dryers
A common solution for general industrial compressed air where a refrigerated-dryer pressure dew point is appropriate.
Desiccant Air Dryers
Used where much drier compressed air is required, including low dew-point applications and sensitive processes.
Integrated Dryer Packages
Some compressor systems can be supplied with integrated drying for a compact installation.
Correct Dryer Selection
- Required airflow
- Working pressure
- Maximum inlet temperature
- Ambient conditions
- Required pressure dew point
- Compressor operating pattern
- Future capacity
Complete Air Treatment
We can supply the dryer as a standalone replacement or design the complete treatment train around the compressor and process.
- Dryer selection
- Pre- and after-filtration
- Automatic condensate drainage
- Receiver integration

Frequently Asked Questions
Why do I need a compressed air dryer?
Cooling compressed air causes water vapour to condense. A dryer controls moisture before it reaches downstream equipment and processes.
Should I use a refrigerated or desiccant dryer?
It depends on the required dew point and application.
Can a dryer be too small?
Yes. Dryer capacity must account for flow, pressure, inlet temperature and operating conditions.
Can WMC replace an existing dryer?
Yes. We can assess the existing installation and specify a suitable replacement.
Do dryers need servicing?
Yes. Maintenance requirements depend on dryer technology and operating conditions.
