The Navy, as well as many marine vessel and barge owners, require the use of dehumidification when their vessels are being maintenanced. When a marine vessel requires maintenance it must be taken out of service. Eliminating service and maintenance delays are crucial to the profitability of the vessel owner. Dehumidification is a key component to ensure there are no scheduling delays and aids in quality workmanship.
Benefits of dehumidification for coatings and corrosion prevention:
- Ability to work on the vessel in or out of water
- Maintaining proper conditions inside any area to prevent rusting or corrosion
- Working around the clock in consistent, ideal conditions
- Reduce weather and morning fog delays
- Temperature control for the workers (OSHA) and coating application
- Apply coating across entire area at one time
- No need to blast, clean and prime daily
- Blasting and coating water tanks, ballast tanks and hold tanks
- Control humidity inside engine room, wheel house or control room
