Humiscope designed and delivered a 220m² ultra-low dew point dry room for lithium-sulphur battery manufacturing in Victoria.
The facility was engineered to achieve a design dew point below -45°C at 22°C and exceeded expectations during commissioning, demonstrating stable operation at approximately -60°C dew point with verification measurements as low as -70°C.
This project was featured on the cover of AIRAH's Ecolibrium magazine in Autumn 2026. Click below to read full article.

Why Ultra-Low Dew Point Matters
Lithium battery manufacturing processes are highly sensitive to moisture. Even trace amounts of water vapour can impact product quality, yield and long-term battery performance. Ultra-low dew point environments help manufacturers maintain process stability, protect sensitive materials and support consistent production outcomes.
