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.
The water is essentially very clean and only a low filtration effort is required
Model offered:
GEN-350G: 365 L/day (at 25oC and 55%RH) at a power requirement of only 310 Wh/Liter
Based on Water-Gens unique water production technology. Units are designed and produced according to specific specifications.
Independent system for vehicles that extract water from the ambient air.
600 mm
440 mm
Voltage: DC
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.

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.

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.
