We have a large scale product under development to produce 200,000 litres per day. People in tropical climates needs 5L/day of drinking water. Our largest scale produces product both drinking water and irrigation water for greenhouse horticulture.

Several exhaust fans force air through greenhouse. Humid air passes through a series cooling coil producing potable water. Natural coolant from sailing groundwater is pumped to the surface. Energy to power the exhaust fans and lift the coolant can be from wind generator to provide a sustainable and environmentally-responsible water-producing system.

	Agri-business and water bottling enterprise market
	200,000L/Day
	Lifetime: equipment ` 15 years, structure ` 20 years
Progress made (IP)
	Viability study (supported by Canadian International Agency) successfully completed for a proposed installation on the island of Grand Turk, Turk and Caicos Islands.
	Water producing greenhouse computer model.
	Financial model for Water + Food producing business with the greenhouse system at its core.
Next Step
	Proof of concept prototype.
	Functional prototype – water producer at tropical carbonate island site using saline groundwater form 250 m depth as natural coolant.
	Pre-production prototype – Grand Turk site using natural coolant form 500 m depth of Carbonate Island.
	Production- tum-key installations at multitude of sites along tropical coastlines. Natural coolant access either form deep well drilled in carbonates islands or pipeline to thermo cline depth in ocean (For islands with bedrock or volcanic origin).
	Viability study undertaken with the financial support of the Government of Canada provided through the Canadian International Development Agency (Contribution agreement E4936K060831 to Batavia Greenhouse Building Ltd.)

Nature of water cycle

The water cycle is nature’s continuous cycle of evaporation and condensation in the form of rain or snow. Earth’s Atmosphere contains 102000 cubic miles of water or 0.031% of the 326 million cubic miles of water on earth

Tapping into the cycle

Air conditioners and dehumidifiers using refrigerant system have been extracting water vapour from the air for generation. The water collected is usually regarded as waste water. Other technology for water extraction include thermo-electric devices (peltier effect) and desiccants.

Our atmosphere water generator works by converting the humidity in the air to water. The entering air is filtered so that only clean air passes across the cold surface of the machine’s coil. Filtration and ultra – violet treatment ensure bacteria and virus free drinking water.

Pure water is stored in tanks where it is chilled or heated for drinking from the storage tanks. The water is continuously recycled to maintain its purity and taste.

Pure water with our advanced technology

Our machines are energy efficient and equipped with a microcomputer to ensure proper and optimum performance. The Wataire Atmospheric Water Generator produces a pure , high quality drinking product and is an attractive alternative to the logistics and expenses of bottled water.

Affordable

Our machines produces one gallon of water for about one kilowatt-hour of energy .( the national average for electricity in the United States is about 8 cents per kilowatt-hour.) This is the significant saving over the cost of bottled water , with a convincing and reliable quality not found with other methods or sources.

Global water Crisis

In the United States the groundwater overdraft is 25% higher than its replenishment rate . In addition , both surface and groundwater pollution have become a serious performance problem creating concern about the future availability of pure water. Air pollution has a more pervasive impact than water pollution Acid rain produced in part from sulfur dioxide is having major environmental impacts on aquatic life in streams and life in U.S. forests . Further , a wide array of chemical pollutants are released into the air water and soil are already adversely affecting the growth and survival of many of the 400,000 species of plants and animals that make up our natural environment.
