Point-of-use membrane dryers
16 October 2015
Since Hi-line Industries re-engineered its Hi-DRI compressed air membrane dryers, it says the systems are proving popular with end users seeking ways to make it easier and less expensive to supply pneumatic equipment and instrumentation with clean, dry compressed air.

Features include a patented arrangement of structurally packed, permeable hollow fibres that are spirally wound on a support core. This has the effect of combining efficient air flow with high contact areas to maximise drying performance.
The Hi-DRI systems' compact ‘in-line’ design makes life easy for compressed air system specifiers and designers, and ensures the products are suitable for in-line installations that guarantee the delivery of dehydrated compressed air to the point of use. No electricity or energy supply is required, making these lightweight units suitable for remote, isolated or other challenging requirements.
Offering cost effective and efficient filtration and drying in a single unit, Hi-line says the membrane construction of the units does not deplete oxygen from the compressor, which means it can be used as ‘breathing air’ dryer. Furthermore, there is no condensed H2O to deal with as this is removed as a gas.
