WaterGen - Turning Air into Drinking Water

How I Serve

I search for emerging companies, technologies, disruptive technologies, 

innovations, start-ups and up-starts. I’ll look to match potential problems… 

e.g. “plastic pollution” to solutions… e.g. 3D Printer for recycled plastic waste…

for potential venture capitalists, angel investors, and online funders. 

I’ll also highlight a variety of topics including funding success stories, 

the environment, housing, medical, artificial intelligence, science, 

aging populations, disabled populations, social entrepreneurs, philanthropy, 

and topical news. I’m always searching for great people innovating, 

inventing, and doing, great things.


The 411:  Tapping into our Atmosphere for Water

Water-from-air for a better world

Fresh drinking water continues to be humanity’s biggest challenge.  Our atmosphere is the world’s primary source of fresh water. The air around us is the solution, and Watergen’s innovative technology taps into that unlimited resource.


As the global leader in the development and implementation of water-from-air solutions our cutting-edge and patented technology provides a low-cost, abundant, and renewable source of fresh and clean drinking water by extracting it directly from the atmosphere. Watergen’s solution is a game changer that will improve quality of life and health as well as save lives. Watergen’s water generators produce the safest, cleanest, and fresh-tasting drinking water and can potentially service billions around the world. Watergen’s products are suitable for every community size from cities, villages, commercial centers, schools, and hospitals to offices, residential buildings, and private homes.


Our vision and mission

Our vision:

Watergen’s humanitarian vision is to ensure the right of every man, woman, and child to have access to fresh, clean, and safe drinking water.

Our mission:


To use state of the art technology to provide humanity with a new and renewable source of high-quality drinking water, made out of air, that can be available anywhere, immediately and at a reasonable cost.

Watergen has developed unique and advanced technologies to extract fresh water directly from the air, our most abundant water source, using innovate GENius™ technology. GENius™ is the world’s first and most energy-efficient Water-From-Air module of its kind (efficiency-size-cost ratio), generating water at ₵2/liter or 250Wh/L.

Among the advantages of this technology are:

Can be easily scaled up or down to any size required. Each 1⁄2 a meter produces about 2 liters/hour
Produces 4-5 times more water per kW
Small size. Can replace other heat exchangers currently installed

Low-cost structural materials

Solution for cities:

A family requires only 20 liters per day for drinking while the average overall water consumption of a family, can sum to 300–500 liters per day (for showers, laundry, dishwashing).

In cities or areas where the municipal water system is, either not safe for drinking, or the water quality is inconsistent, Water-Gen’s Large Scale solution, can offer a water source separation concept.

By installing a Large Scale unit on roof-tops of commercial or residential buildings, we can create safe and renewable, local drinking water reservoirs, servicing each building directly using simple and independent water infrastructure system, that delivers fresh drinking water directly to the family’s kitchen sink, while using the municipal water for all other uses.


This concept, if adopted on a wide scale, can offer a decentralization of the city’s water infrastructure, creating citywide renewable water reservoirs, making it much more robust and independent.

Large scale water generation at night:

In most countries, during the night, electricity costs plummet due to off-peak rates.

Atmospheric conditions are also preferable for water generation, because the air is colder with higher relative humidity, requiring less energy to extract.


By selectively operating Watergen’s Large Scale AWG during the night, we can create a dual synergy that can drastically reduce water generation costs.

EMERGENCY RESPONSE VEHICLE (ERV)

ERV is a customized heavy-duty truck with Atmospheric Water Generator

Advantages:

Highly mobile
Designed for emergency situations and natural disasters
Produces water in areas with no potable water source

Dispenses water in areas both with and without an operating electric grid
Fast and easy deployment in most weather conditions, remote areas and difficult to access locations
Indoor and outdoor usage

Ideal for long term sustainable water generation throughout all phases of emergency and crisis response



GENNY
Water From Air Home Appliance:

The GENNY is small water from air generator that provides renewable source of clean and fresh drinking water for homes and offices. Requiring no infrastructure but electricity, it is a plug-and-drink solution that can be installed in minutes anywhere, eliminating the daily dependency on bottled water. Employing state of the art, multi stage, Ozone based, water purification and circulation system, ensures water quality at premium levels, keeping water cool and fresh.


The system uses robust air filtration process, designed to operate at high air pollution conditions, that vents ultra clean dry air back into the room. Ideal for families, the GENNY provides a secure and reliable water source, regardless of the quality or availability of the municipal water system.

Advantages:

Generates 25-30 liters of clean fresh water every day
Plug and drink solution – requiring no infrastructure but electricity. Can be easily installed anywhere
Ideal for house-holds and offices that relay on bottled water

Generates clean, safe and abundant water at ~₵2-4/liter or 250Wh/L

Air purification – as part of the water generation process, the GENNY purifies the room’s air, venting clean fresh air – ideal for cities with heavy air pollution.D
Dries the room like a dehumidifier. Drier air means less energy invested in A/C

Complies with all required standards – World Health Organization (WHO) and Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) standards
