Tank coating is a highly sensitive operation that requires precise control of temperature, humidity, and airflow. Without stable environmental conditions, achieving a uniform and durable coating is extremely challenging.
A leading coatings contractor was performing a tank coating project at a midstream processing facility in Alberta, Canada. While the contractor had four desiccant dehumidifiers on site, the equipment was unable to consistently maintain proper humidity levels, temperature stability, or sufficient airflow.
As a result, the project experienced rework, delays, and lost time—ultimately impacting productivity and revenue.

To address issues related to temperature fluctuations, humidity control, and inadequate airflow, the contractor replaced the four desiccant dehumidifiers with two REIC Rentals Environmental Control Units.
Designed to function as both a dehumidifier and an air conditioning system, REIC Rentals’ Environmental Control Units enabled the contractor to precisely control temperature and maintain stable ambient conditions throughout the coating process. In addition, the units’ high-capacity fans—producing up to 10,000 CFM—significantly improved airflow across the work area.
This increased airflow accelerated drying times and immediately improved worker comfort on site.
The switch to Environmental Control Units from REIC Rentals eliminated the risk of further rework and streamlined the coating process. By using two high-performance units instead of four separate dehumidifiers, the contractor reduced their equipment footprint while improving overall efficiency.
The improved environmental control also resulted in faster operations and reduced fuel and rental costs.
With fewer units on site and significantly lower maintenance requirements, the contractor drastically reduced downtime and labor costs. The project was completed more efficiently, with consistent coating quality and improved working conditions.
By deploying REIC Rentals Environmental Control Units, the contractor achieved improved performance, lower costs, and reliable environmental control throughout the project’s duration.
