Large-Scale Desiccant Dehumidifiers
Rapid drying solutions for commercial and industrial recovery.
When water damage impacts large facilities, drying time is critical. Steamatic Global Recovery (SGR) provides industrial-grade desiccant dehumidifiers that can be deployed quickly to support drying operations on complex or catastrophic loss sites.
Engineered for performance, these systems extract high volumes of moisture from air and materials—enabling faster restoration, mould prevention, and reduced secondary damage.
Key Applications
Catastrophic water ingress events
Commercial and industrial site recovery
Government and defence facilities
Manufacturing, logistics and healthcare sites
Insurance-driven major and complex losses
Benefits of Desiccant Dehumidifiers
Superior Moisture Extraction: Desiccant dehumidifiers remove moisture from the air and building materials, even in low temperatures, where traditional methods may be less effective.
Energy-Efficient Operation: By using desiccant materials that naturally absorb moisture, these dehumidifiers offer an energy-efficient solution.
Versatility Across Conditions: They operate effectively in varying conditions, including colder temperatures, where they maintain their moisture-absorbing capability.
Improved Air Quality: These dehumidifiers help prevent mould growth, reduce allergens, and improve overall air quality by managing humidity levels.
Durable and Powerful: With high-volume capacity, desiccant dehumidifiers can handle extensive water damage, making them suitable for large-scale restoration projects.

Our Top Frequently Asked Questions
What are desiccant dehumidifiers, and how do they work?
Desiccant dehumidifiers utilise hygroscopic materials (desiccants) to absorb moisture from the air. They draw in humid air, pass it over a desiccant material, and release dry air back into the environment. This makes them particularly effective in low-temperature conditions and during water damage restoration after floods or storms.
How are desiccant dehumidifiers used in flood and storm recovery?
After flood or storm incidents, desiccant dehumidifiers are deployed to quickly remove excess moisture from affected areas, preventing mould growth and structural damage. Their ability to operate effectively in cooler temperatures and their high moisture absorption capacity makes them ideal for restoring indoor environments after water damage.
Are desiccant dehumidifiers energy-efficient?
While desiccant dehumidifiers can consume more energy than refrigerant models in certain conditions, many modern units are designed for energy efficiency. Their effectiveness in rapidly removing moisture after water incidents can lead to quicker restoration times, potentially saving on overall energy costs. Our team can help evaluate energy-efficient options tailored to your specific application.
When are desiccant dehumidifiers typically deployed?
Desiccant dehumidifiers are usually deployed in larger-scale events, such as significant flooding, storm damage, or extensive water intrusion situations. Their ability to effectively remove moisture from the air in challenging environments makes them ideal for large areas that require rapid drying. They are particularly useful when traditional refrigerant dehumidifiers may be less effective due to lower temperatures or high humidity levels. By using desiccant dehumidifiers in these situations, we can accelerate the drying process, mitigate potential mould growth, and protect structural integrity.
