Impact/Purpose:
Further advance the science of atmospheric water generators (AWG) and assess their potential as a water production and supply solution.
Description:
In September 2017, EPA’s Office of Research and Development announced a new Cooperative Research and Development Agreement (CRADA) to further advance the science of AWG and assess its potential as a water production and supply solution. Specifically, EPA signed a CRADA with Watergen to evaluate their GEN-350 system; Watergen is a corporation developing cutting-edge AWG technology. The GEN-350 can generate nearly 600 liters of water per day in optimal temperature and humidity conditions. A test unit was evaluated at one of EPA’s lab facilities for collaborative research purposes.
