Watergen GEN-350 Atmospheric Water Generator¶
Atmospheric & Fog Harvesting • Est. CapEx: $40,000 USD • Lifespan: 7–15 Years
Technical Overview¶
A commercial-scale atmospheric water generator (AWG) that produces potable water by extracting moisture from ambient air using condensation technology. Suitable for emergency response, remote communities, and commercial applications where traditional water sources are unavailable.
Key Specifications & Engineering Parameters¶
| Parameter | Specification |
|---|---|
| Category | Atmospheric & Fog Harvesting |
| Capital Cost (CapEx) | $40,000 USD |
| Power / Energy | Electric / Motorized |
| Target Scale | School / Clinic / Cluster (50–200 people) |
| Standard Lifespan | 7–15 Years |
| Technology Maturity | Commercially Available |
| Primary Mechanism | The system uses a refrigeration-based cooling condensation cycle: ambient air is drawn over cooling coils, condensing water vapor into liquid. The condensate is then filtered and treated to remove particulates and microbial contaminants, producing high-quality drinking water. |
