Our Technology

Air2Water technology is unique, as no other air-to-water technology products are offered commercially in the U.S. or International markets. Air2Water technology maximizes temperature, airflow, and surface area for optimum water production.

A condensation unit receives humid airflow and condenses water vapor into liquid. This process is known as atmospheric condensation. Water is filtered and treated by bacteria-killing devices such as ultraviolet light before it can be dispensed. Water produced by the Air2Water water generation machines is pure and safe for human consumption and meets established U.S. and International Public Health standards, including the NSF 53 standard. NSF 53 is the top U.S. benchmark for drinking water and includes the removal of volatile organic compounds (VOC's).

Volatile Organic Compound pollutants are removed by two (2) NSF 53 approved filters. Volatile organic chemicals such as Ether have proven extremely difficult to remove by filtration methods of the past, but will not be present in the water generated by an Air2Water water generation machine.

The Technology Driven by Aquovator™

During aquovation™, water is extracted from naturally present moisture in the air, treated with UV technology and circulated continually through the proprietary Hyflux™ Filtration Cartridge (HFC) to attain its purest state.

Engineered on Hyflux™ proprietary membrane and ultraviolet disinfection technologies, aquovate™ technology is optimised to remove a wide range of contaminants, including chemicals, odours, sediment and other particulate matter.

1. Ambient air is pulled through a patented antibacterial filter to remove airborne particles and contaminants. Besides harmful bacteria such as airborne viruses, dragon-fly™ also removes excess humidity for a safer, more comfortable environment. With less moisture in the air, your air-conditioning electrical consumption is lowered as less energy is used to cool the environment.

2.-4. Vapour in the air is condensed in a collection tray and disinfected |with UV light. The resulting water then passes through the 04proprietary HFC to remove organics odours and dissolved impurities. Most of the fine waterborne contaminants including bacteria, viruses, parasites and other disease-causing agents, are removed when the water is sent through Hyflux™ Ultrafiltration membranes. The system also contains granulated activated carbons to remove total organic carbons, foul tastes, odours and colour. UV disinfection occurs for a second time.

5. As a final safeguard measure, water is disinfected with UV light in the storage tank to ensure the removal of bacteria and viruses before it is pumped into the hot & cold tank, ready for dispensing.

7. Heater

9. If not consumed, stored aquovated water in the cold tank is re-circulated through the HFC and UV light to retain its optimum purity and freshness.

ULTRA VIOLET TECHNOLOGY
Ultraviolet treatment, in most cases is the most important step in the any purification process. The Aquovation™ technology first exposes water to 2 rounds of intense dosage of UV light which acts as a highly effective germicidal sterilant and destroys viruses, bacteria, fungi, algae and protozoa.

HOW?

· UV light destroys a microorganism by scrambling its DNA structure

· The cells are rendered sterile and cannot reproduce

· The cells are dead and no longer a threat

ULTRAVIOLET WAVELENGTHS
Ultraviolet light happens all around us naturally in sunlight. The light is divided by wavelengths into three bands: A, B and C. Out of these three wavelengths, Uvc is the shortest, and therefore the most powerful light. Short wave ultraviolet in the region of 253.7 nanometers is lethal to microorganisms including bacteria, protozoa, viruses, moulds, yeasts, nematode eggs and algae.

ULTRAVIOLET (UV) PURIFICATION
Treating water with UV technology is preferred over the conventional method of using chemicals like chlorine. UV light destroys micro-organisms by fragmenting their DNA structures, rendering them sterile and unable to multiply.

During aquovation™, UV disinfection actually occurs three times to ensure the purity and freshness of aquovated water. Free from nitrate and chloride, this makes aquovated water ideal for children and babies.

UV light is naturally present in sunlight. It is divided by wavelength into three bands: A, B and C.
