NEODRY

Industrial dehumidification that reduces your energy bill by 2 to 4 times

Based on a patented membrane technology, NEODRY achieves very low humidity levels while reducing energy consumption by up to 75% compared to conventional desiccant wheels and air handling units.
Your dehumidification systems are costing you more and more — and it's only going to get worse.

Since the installation of your dehumidification equipment, the climate has changed. Absolute humidity has increased in all regions of France. As a result, your systems are running longer, at higher load levels, leading to decreased performance.

Energy costs related to dehumidification can represent more than 85% of the total cost (CAPEX + OPEX) over 15 years. NEODRY corrects this imbalance.

A patented membrane technology — simple, robust, economical

NEODRY uses vapor-permeable polymer membranes, on either side of which a concentrated calcium chloride (CaCl₂) solution continuously circulates. Water vapor from the air passes through the membranes and is captured by the saline solution, which then dilutes. The outgoing air is precisely dehumidified to the desired set temperature.

The saline solution is then regenerated at a very low temperature (waste heat at 30–40 °C) — compared to 140 to 160 °C for a desiccant wheel — using outside air. This principle allows energy consumption to be reduced by a factor of 2 to 4.

NEODRY Principle Diagram

1. Dehumidification module

The air to be treated flows tangentially along the membrane frames. Humidity is absorbed by the saline solution. The supplied air is then delivered at the required temperature and humidity levels.

2. Regeneration Module

The diluted saline solution returns to its optimal concentration in a second module. Outside air absorbs the water vapor from the solution, which has been heated to only 30–40 °C using waste heat.

3. Supervisory Module

Dynamic temperature and flow control. Modbus BMS connection. Integrated alarm detection and management. Ensures setpoints are maintained under all conditions.

Why does NEODRY provide up to 75% energy savings?

Regeneration temperature

30-40 °C

Thanks to the waste heat from the chiller or that present on site, regeneration is carried out at a very low energy cost.

Integrated air cooling

Yes, at no extra cost

Air can be blown at low temperatures, thus relieving the existing cooling systems for additional energy savings.

Low pressure drop

100-200 Pa per module

This optimizes fan sizing and further increases the energy value proposition

Applications & Sectors

Food and frozen products

Deep-freezing facilities, meat and fish processing, powder manufacturing, ice cream production. NEODRY maintains incoming air temperatures between -15°C and +40°C, without risk of freezing. Measured savings: -60% at the reference site (ice cream, 5,000 m³/h, since January 2024).

-60% energy consumption measured under real-world conditions

Electronics & Li-ion batteries

Dry rooms for lithium-ion battery cell manufacturing, electronic component and semiconductor production rooms. NEODRY can achieve 1 g/kg of dry air, reducing the consumption of complete air conditioning systems.

Up to 1 g/kg of absolute humidity
