About Us | 25+ Years of Dry Air Engineering Experience.
Our History.
DEHUM is a trading name of Sorption Wheel Services Ltd, which was established in 1996. What began as a specialised service provider for desiccant dehumidification systems quickly gained a reputation for quality, reliability, and technical expertise. Our initial goal was clear: to set the standard for servicing existing dehumidification equipment across the UK.
As our reputation grew, so did the expectations of our customers. It became evident that there was a growing need not only for expert servicing but also for the supply and installation of high-performance dehumidification systems. In response, we expanded our capabilities—bringing more of the production, design, and project coordination under one roof.
Who We Are Today.
More than two decades later, DEHUM stands as a leading UK-based engineering company, dedicated to designing and delivering complete dry air solutions. Our systems are not off-the-shelf—they’re engineered to meet the exacting standards of your facility, product, and process.
We take pride in being more than just a supplier. Our proactive team of specialists brings together decades of experience across multiple disciplines, offering an end-to-end solution—from design and supply to full project management and ongoing maintenance. From preventing condensation to accelerating drying and achieving strict humidity targets, DEHUM is trusted to deliver results where it matters most.
This integration allowed us to manage the entire process, from initial consultation through to final installation and aftercare, ensuring total quality control and better outcomes for our clients. With every system we built, our expertise deepened, and DEHUM steadily evolved into a trusted name in bespoke humidity control solutions.
Today, our systems are operating globally across a wide range of Applications.
Food & Beverage
Humidity control plays a critical role in food and beverage production. At DEHUM, we help prevent moisture-related issues such as clumping, spoilage, and microbial growth by maintaining precise relative humidity levels. Our systems support better hygiene, longer shelf life, and consistent product quality across a wide range of environments, from packaging lines to storage facilities.
Pharmaceutical
In pharmaceutical manufacturing, environmental control is essential for compliance, safety, and product integrity. DEHUM systems provide the stable, low-humidity conditions needed to protect ingredients, prevent cross-contamination, and support cleanroom operations. Whether it’s tablet production, packaging, or storage, we tailor solutions to meet strict regulatory standards.
Automotive
Moisture can compromise both manufacturing processes and product longevity in the automotive sector. Our dry air systems support everything from component assembly to coating and paint applications, ensuring corrosion control and consistent drying performance. We work with OEMs and specialist manufacturers to optimise efficiency and prevent costly downtime.
Nuclear
In nuclear environments, the stakes are high and precision is everything. DEHUM provides robust humidity control systems that support safety, compliance, and equipment preservation. From sensitive instrumentation to long-term material storage, our systems are trusted to deliver consistent environmental control in some of the world’s most demanding facilities.
Cold Storage
Condensation in cold storage can lead to ice formation, slip hazards, and spoilage. Our dehumidification solutions eliminate excess moisture, reducing maintenance requirements and ensuring a safer, more efficient environment. Whether for food, pharmaceuticals, or high-value inventory, we help protect what matters most.
Our Mission.
To engineer world-class humidity control systems that enhance product integrity, improve operational efficiency, and protect environments across industries—delivering long-term value through technical excellence, bespoke design, and exceptional service.
Our Vision.
To be the global benchmark for precision humidity control, trusted by industry leaders for innovative, reliable, and energy-efficient solutions that solve today’s challenges and anticipate tomorrow’s needs.
