Automatic High-Pressure Dehydrator (AHPD)

For nearly twenty-five 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.
