Automatic High Pressure Dehydrator (AHPD)

For nearly 20 years, CEPEDA has manufactured, tested, and serviced the Navy Standard AHPD. This unit is a high pressure air dryer that removes moisture from the output air stream of high pressure air compressors.

The AHPD showcases CEPEDA's capabilities and requires the best machining, welding, NDT, and testing that we offer.
