Installing the copper loop between the pump and air receiver works better than after the air tank.

I built a copper loop from a 25' coil of copper. Expensive, but works very well and I get zero water at my air tools.

Also, very important! When soldering copper joints for compressed air, do not use regular pipe solder. The soldered joint is the weakest part of the system and heat and pressure limit the safe working pressure. For compressed air 95%/5% tin/antimony solder should be used.
