when I started my shop I had a few air problems before spending money on filter systems dryer ect. I buried a 1000 gal tank out back and ran my ait thru it. went from my 120gal compressor tank to the 1000gal then insideto a seperater and filter then in my booth I have a motor gaurd and a sharp filter. no air problems no water no vapor and cool plus I am never in need of any air. I have ran three das all off one compressor, I 10 months not a drop of water in my seperator

if you have an active craigslist in your area, keep an eye out. I picked up a sharpe dry aire membrane system from a shop going out of business. He was desparate and i bought it for $300. No maintenance, and will be an easy resell if I get to that.
