Pharmaceutical manufacturers are tough customers with very specific needs. In short, they require precise humidity control, because the products they manufacture are extremely sensitive to moisture. If the humidity is too high during the manufacturing process, then products may stick together, resulting in quality issues. For these reasons, the control of pharmaceutical manufacturing environments is critical.
Responding to this need for precise humidity control are manufacturers who are continually improving their dehumidification equipment for these demanding applications. In general, newer dehumidification equipment is becoming less expensive, more energy efficient, and smaller, while incorporating more sophisticated controls that can hold a space within a couple of percentage points of design condition.
