Company news: Aqua Sciences, Inc., a Florida-based advanced water technology company, has developed and is introducing its line of products which produce significant amounts of drinking water "off the grid," tapping into the vast water reserves contained in our atmosphere. This proprietary technology represents a major breakthrough in the establishment of our atmosphere as a practical "alternative source" of fresh drinking water. Aqua Sciences unveiled its 20 foot machine capable of producing up to 500 gallons of water per day, and is conducting demonstrations to government officials and the press by appointment at a private facility on Capitol Hill in Washington, DC. These products incorporate breakthrough scientific advancements in extracting water from the air and do not solely rely on condensation dehumidification (i.e., effectively simple dehumidifiers with water filtration systems attached), as compared to water extraction systems used in most previous commercial attempts to harvest atmospheric water. This breakthrough technology constitutes the first practical means of providing an alternative fresh water supply for applications including emergency preparedness/disaster relief, military capability and international humanitarian missions, where water is critical to sustain life and is not otherwise readily available. Aqua Sciences has won several competitive RFPs to produce water-harvesting machines for various U.S. government agencies. Florida FEMA acquired the patented water harvesting technology for hurricane response preparation. Additionally, Aqua Sciences is working under contract with the Boeing Company and the U.S. Army to develop mobile water generators utilizing Aqua Sciences' proprietary technology for the Army's Future Combat Systems (FCS) program. "Our technology makes it possible to extract vast amounts of safe drinking water from the air, virtually anytime and anywhere, and our 40 foot machine can produce up to 1,200 gallons per day depending on actual conditions," says Abe M. Sher, CEO of Aqua Sciences. "Furthermore, the unit can purify up to an additional 8,000 gallons per day of existing contaminated water through an integrated reverse osmosis module." The full service unit is mobile, runs on its own power source, requires only one person to operate, and is easy-to-use and maintain. |
