Military Ordnance demands strict conditions in temperature and humidity due to the volatility of goods stored. If excess moisture is allowed to remain in the stores then chemical reactions may occur, which may cause destruction or loss of potency, both of which are undesirable. The key to avoiding damage and loss of stock is prevention, and keeping the ordnance store at a low relative humidity is the best way to do this.

Air and Aqua Tech have delivered nine DST desiccant dehumidifiers to RCR Haden for installation to now keep these stores at the desired humidity levels. These desiccant dehumidifiers remove moisture and reduce the humidity in the stores without needing to increase the temperature, meaning that the military personnel remain in comfort and energy costs are reduced.

Currently, RBS 70 is operational in 18 customer countries, on all continents and in arctic, desert, and tropical environments.
The RBS70 manufactured by SABB need rigorous testing processes and repackaging in climate controlled atmosphere. Jacobs Consulting realised the benefit DSTs reliable; and efficient design to specify for 8 test room.
