With more than 65 years of experience developing desiccant formulas at its production facilities in Lake City, Pennsylvania, Van Air Systems is the original and leading manufacture of deliquescent desiccants for drying compressed air and gases. Deliquescent desiccants are a dependable, cost-effective, and energy-free tool for a wide range of drying applications.

What is Deliquescent desiccant? Deliquesce means to dissolve. A desiccant is a drying agent. So deliquescent desiccant is a drying agent that dissolves.

Choosing the right desiccant. With vapor attracting properties, deliquescent desiccants are ideal for drying compressed air and other gases and preventing the harmful effects of moisture. It’s important to choose the right grade of deliquescent desiccant. Van Air Systems offers four grades of deliquescent desiccant. Dry-O-Lite®, which is used for drying compressed air. Our other desiccants SP, 10BF. and 4UF are all typically selected for natural gas dehydration applications. Contact us for more information on which desiccant would be best for your application.

Maximum Performance For Drying Compressed Air & Natural Gas

Natural gas or process gas dehydration at low pressures, low flow rates, and / or low temperatures can be very difficult. For these unique applications Gas DryTM Ultimate/4UF was developed to meet low dew point requirements when other desiccants or glycols are ineffective.

Applications:• Meets Pipeline Gas Moisture Specifications• Fuel Gas & Biogas Dehydration • Instrument Gas Dehydration• Lowers moisture content of Biogas• Remote Outdoor Locations Without Electricity

How to use it?Gas DryTM Ultimate/4UF can be used by itself or in combination with other grades of deliquescent desiccant, such as Gas DryTM Peak/SP or Gas DryTM Max/10BF Desiccant. Consumption is reduced when the process gas flows through the lower grade desiccant prior to the highly absorbent Gas Dry Ultimate/4UF, resulting in lower operating cost.

Dense tablet, no dust. Deliquescent desiccants are environmentally safe and we guarantee performance!
