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 Need
3
Water
From

a natural source.
Difficult to sabotage.
Water can be produced
directly at the point of use

Water Generation Unit – Ground: Possible Applications
• Isolated villages.
• Humanitarian efforts in disaster
areas
• Peace keeping initiatives

Water Generation Unit – Ground: Industrial Applications
• Road Construction
• Mining Operation
• Oil and Gas Exploration
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
• 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” The WTU was honored as
one of the six finalists at the
DSEi Exhibition “Innovation
Challenge” Awards –
London, Spt. 2011
12
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.
14 14
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

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 world’s 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-Gen’s Solutions:
• Water Generation: Supply water-from-air in areas where no other sources are
available. Water-Gen’s 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 train’s 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.
