High-tech dryers help save Harvard from being all wet
AMESBURY, Mass. — Harvard, the Wentworth Institute of Technology, and Emerson College were among 25 Boston-area sites that used high-technology drying equipment to recover from recent flooding.
Munters Moisture Control Services, headquartered in Amesbury, used desiccant dehumidifiers to create “super dry” air inside the buildings that had flooded. According to the company, the air becomes so dry that it pulls moisture right out of wet sheet rock, carpeting, and concrete blocks.
