Atmospheric Water Generation Offers Untapped Water Source:
The amount of water vapor in the world’s atmosphere – with estimates ranging to as much as 90 trillion cubic meters of water – represents a significant untapped water source for industries such as oil and gas.
The company, Ambient Water Corp., formerly AWG International, plans to introduce Ambient Water 20K, which can produce over 20,000 gallons per day from a single unit. Ambient currently offers units with production capacity ranging from 5 gallon/per day models for homes and offices to over 400 gallons per day for commercial and community models.
The Spokane, Wash.-based company’s atmospheric water generation harvests water vapor from the atmosphere, the chills that water vapor to the “dew point”. The moisture then is condensed onto patented, stainless steel or specially coated coils, then channeled through advanced filtering chambers. This water can then be processed and cleaned for human consumption or sent off for commercial industrial applications.
Ambient conducted an exhaustive study of the technology’s application for oil and gas in the Eagle Ford shale play in Irion, Dewitt and Victoria counties in South Texas. The study concluded that the humidity and temperature were adequate enough.
