Water Purification
WATER TREATMENT SOLUTIONS FOR WATER SCARCE RURAL AREAS
According to the WHO, worldwide, 2 billion people use a water source contaminated with faeces, and every year the subsequent diarrhoea kills about half a million people. Moreover, a quarter of health centres do not have access to safe drinking water, and 10% have no sanitation.

Solar Powered Water Treatment Plant, Coupled With Vegetable Greenhouse Tunnels and Water Bottling Operation
Raw water, unsuitable for drinking, is purified by a RO plant powered by solar energy. The low quality by-product water is used for greenhouse vegetable tunnel and irrigation system.
Atmospheric Water Generation (AWG) Technology
The plants generates water from moisture in the air, hence the average relative humidity and temperature play a role on the suitability of adoption. With solar, the system is completely autonomous.
Key Points
- 30 to 6,000 liters a day
- Water generation efficiency: 350Wh/liter
- Energy consumption: Nominal 2.6 to 60kW
- Removal of organic/inorganic substances + microorganisms using a high-level filters
- Mineralization in order to meet global regulations, stabilizing the water pH between 6.5 – 8.5 and enriching the water with Ca and Mg. This, in turn, dramatically improves the water’s taste
- A powerful UV germicidal lamp eliminates any potential presence of bio-related contamination in the AWG water system
- Optional cooling system that keeps the water cool
