Craft Brewing Company uses Point-of-use-Air Dryer to Clean and Dry Air Lines

Ono Brewing Company located in Virginia is using a Moisture Block desiccant dryer and Van Air Systems oil water separator. Brew houses and keg cleaners have pneumatic valves and do a clean air purge of the kegs, so having clean,dry air is extremely important! Ono Brewing Company is a family-owned brewery in Chantilly, Virginia. They are a mid size brewery, 15 barrel Brew house with 30bbl Cellar. They brew craft beer on site and serve it in their own tasting room with unique self-serve beer wall. The President/Owner of Ono Brewing knew the importance of having clean, dry, filtered air for the pneumatic valves and keg cleaner. The $3500 price tag for a mechanical dryer was a lot of money to spend. Having worked with desiccant dryers in the past the owner googled desiccant air filters and came across the Moisture Block Point-of-Use air dryer.

Moisture Block is a point-of-use compressed air dryer that uses Activated Alumina.

The Moisture Block is a simple, cost-effective point-of-use compressed air dryer. It's a unique point-of-use dryer that merges low initial cost and low operating costs.
