Company Presentation

The Need
Transportation of water to isolated locations requires large volume convoys which are expensive and limited in capacity. The logistical burden that goes along with water supply is very high.

In the industrial sector, drilling exploration, mining, road construction & outback facilities often extend over several days and weeks. One of the key factor which allow these operations to succeed in remote areas is offering of adequate living conditions. Personnel operating on vehicles progress between different locations while carrying water in closed containers under conditions that degrade its quality and freshness. Transportation of water to industrial establishments is an expensive and sometimes dangerous logistical task.

Rural remote villages in developing countries usually lack an adequate potable water source. Providing these residents with means to receive or purify fresh water is a life saving effort.

Water Treatment Units


An air conditioner (A/C) unit naturally produces large amounts of water, which is currently considered to be waste. But discarding this precious byproduct is wasteful, especially when more energy and resources are required to supply new water. Therefore, the A/C can be regarded as a water-generating machine. The unique

WTU control system can optimize and increase the A/C water production by
changing the operational mode of several key parameters (e.g., fresh air percentage, blower operation) without affecting the original purpose of the A/C: moderating air temperature.

The water produced by the A/C is purified and


mineralized to create tasteful, healthy water for vehicles of air conditioned bases

Vehicle Mounted Water Treatment Unit


Saves water and power by utilizing an available source Weight: 15 kg


The WTU was honored as one of the six finalists at the DSEi Exhibition Innovation Challenge Awards London, Spt. 2011

Dimensions : 222X226X313 mm
Power consumption: 100 Wh Can optimize the amount of water produced by the air conditioner. Can be installed separately or as part of the air conditioners box

Application Example: Connection to Train Cabin A/C


Use of the water treatment using to treat run-off water produced in an air conditioned train cabin.

System components:
Water Treatment Unit Fully managed storage tank Dispensing unit (cold water)

A/C water production can be increased with several joint engineering efforts.

Spring Civilian Application


The Need: Many civilian residential areas in developing countries have local water sources which cannot be used due to chemical and biological contaminations.

The civilian Spring offers a solution to these remote areas. Based on the
technology developed for military purposes, this civilian, battery-operated unit can filter highly contaminated water and provide large amounts of pure fresh potable water to many families, and literally save lives.

13

Spring Specifications
Several filtration elements built on a multi-barrier principle. Treatment of any contaminated or potentially sabotaged freshwater, including microorganisms, pesticides, heavy metals, etc. Production of 225 liters of pure water. Optional: can carry two additional battery packs for a total filtration volume of 675 liters. Weight: 12kg

Handling: Back-carried or carried on supporting wheels.


Power: Standard 24VDC battery pack (rechargeable) Automatic validation of water quality (automatic shut-off in case of poor quality) Fits all required civilian standards

14

Water Quality
1. Water purification process: Specially designed multi-stage filtration system to remove all water contaminants.

2. Water sterilization process: Advanced process keeps the freshness of the water for
long storage periods using germicidal UVC technology, ozone purification, and complementary sterilization materials. 3. Water re-mineralization keeps drinking water chemically balanced and improves its taste. 4. Water preservation: Water is routinely re-purified to ensure overall water quality 5. Met water standards such as EPA, WHO, local country standards.
Prof. Raphael Semiat, head of the Water Research Institute of the Technion (Israel Institute of Technology) is Director of Water Quality at Water-Gen.

Water-Gen Highlights
1. Water-from-air: The water is free of the pollution hazards found in surface water (residential and industrial chemical waste; soil- and water-bound pathogenic bacteria). The source of water cannot be easily sabotaged (unlike surface or ground water).

2. All units are designed to meet environmental, water standards. 3. Production of water from a natural source available in the environment. 4. Unique Water-Gen technology allows water production at extremely high efficiency. 5. Emergency water available without prior preparation. 6. Reduces dangerous and expensive logistic chains. 7. Very high return of investment (ROI).

Water-Gen Ltd has several patent applications pending (PCT, US Patent, European Patent, and other countries) for various methods and technologies related to many aspects in the operation of the Water-Gen units.

India - Client Example


India confronts one of the worlds biggest water problems, with constantly growing demands. Residents in rural villages depend on water cans, or local water sources which are usually inadequate for consumption.

Water-Gens Solutions:
Water Generation: Supply water-from-air in areas where no other sources are available. Water-Gens technology offers water at a cost as low as 1.5 rupee ($0.02) per liter compared to the 10-15 rupee/liter cost of drinking water cans. Water Treatment for trains air conditioner: continuous supply of fresh drinking water during the train route, reducing logistics and pollution. At present the water produced by air conditioners is drained to the ground. Civilian Spring: complete purification of water from any chemical or biological contamination. Operated by batteries which can be used during the day and recharged during the night. A life saving solution.
