During a festive ceremony on September 10, the startup H2OLL company installed the first fully commercial unit of its Atmospheric Water Generator technology at Project Wadi Attir,
The groundbreaking technology for producing water from the air was developed originally at the Technion-Israel Institute of Technology by Professor Eran Friedler and Professor David Broday, faculty members of the Technion’s Division of Civil and Environmental Engineering.
The system enables the production of water from the air even in dry and desert areas, while completely blocking chemical and biological pollutants. It is based on adsorption, unlike most initiatives in the field that operate based on direct cooling technology. The difference is dramatic, reducing significantly the amount of water vapor required in a given volume of air.
The H2OLL commercial system will supply 1,000 liters of water a day in the Negev. The company’s leadership team includes CEO Yoav Kirsh, CTO Ilan Katz, and VP of Business Development Oded Distal. Their efforts mark a significant step toward providing sustainable water solutions in challenging environments.
Installation of the H2OLL system at Project Wadi Attir joins a long-standing plan of using the project’s site as a platform for demonstrating innovative green technologies.
