DeHumidification Technologies (DH Tech) will participate in the 2026 API Storage Tank Conference & Expo, taking place October 19–22, 2026, at the Hyatt Regency Austin in Austin, Texas. Attendees can meet the DH Tech team at Booth 16 during the exhibition on October 21–22 to discuss environmental control for upcoming tank projects.
For tank owners, terminal operators, maintenance teams, and coating contractors, controlling humidity and temperature is an important part of project planning. DH Tech provides temporary equipment and services designed to support tank lining applications and other industrial projects where moisture and environmental conditions can affect the work.
Dehumidification for Tank Blasting and Coating
A successful tank coating project starts with properly prepared surfaces and suitable application conditions. Moisture can contribute to rust bloom on freshly blasted steel, creating challenges between surface preparation and coating application.
DH Tech’s petrochemical services include humidity and temperature control inside tanks during blasting and painting to help prevent rust bloom. These services support contractors working to preserve prepared surfaces before applying protective coatings.
By using dehumidification to help “hold the blast,” project teams can reduce their dependence on the daily blast, clean, and prime cycle. DH Tech’s industrial services help establish controlled conditions for coating applications and reduce the effects of changing weather on project execution.
Supporting Tank Maintenance and Project Scheduling
Tank maintenance often involves coordinating contractors, inspectors, equipment, and operating schedules. Environmental control can help teams manage conditions that would otherwise interrupt blasting and coating activities.
DH Tech’s tank-related services can help project teams:
- Preserve blasted surfaces: Help limit moisture-related deterioration before coating application.
- Maintain suitable coating conditions: Control humidity and temperature within the work area.
- Reduce weather-related interruptions: Support more consistent conditions when outdoor weather changes.
- Improve scheduling flexibility: Support extended work schedules when the project requires them.
- Reduce repeated surface preparation: Help minimize the need to blast, clean, and prime smaller areas each day.
At Booth 16, attendees can discuss their tank dimensions, project timing, environmental challenges, and coating requirements with DH Tech to explore an appropriate equipment and service approach.
Connecting with the Storage Tank Industry
The 2026 API Storage Tank Conference & Expo brings together engineers, operators, inspectors, asset integrity specialists, and other professionals responsible for storage tank facilities. The 2026 program addresses topics including corrosion, inspection technology, tank reliability, coatings, and environmental compliance.
The event also includes workshops and professional development courses, along with the API Refrigerated Tank Conference on October 22. Eligible attendees can earn up to 21 PDH/CPD hours through the October 20 API/STI-SPFA course and October 21–22 conference attendance.
For DH Tech, the exhibition provides an opportunity to connect with professionals planning tank maintenance and lining projects and discuss how temporary humidity and temperature control can support their work.
