The future of water is here

Water is undoubtedly the essence of life. But not all water is created equal. Although approximately 70 percent of Earth's surface is covered in water, less than one percent is readily available and safe for human consumption.

Access to clean water is something many of us take for granted. We turn on the tap, and there it is – fresh, drinkable water, ready to quench our thirst, wash our clothes, fill our swimming pools or allow us to enjoy a long, hot shower. But this is a literal pipe dream for over two billion people on our planet. That’s right; two billion people live without access to safe water, and two million children die every year due to poor quality or a lack of water. It’s a sobering thought. So, what if we could solve the world’s water scarcity crisis by converting air into water?

Or produce water with no wastage and little to no environmental footprint? Or have an abundant and constant supply of 100 percent pure water anywhere, anytime and even off-grid?

Sounds incredible, doesn’t it?

Enter Beyond Water. Its ground-breaking atmospheric water generation (AWG) technology is doing just that. Whilst it may sound like something straight out of science fiction, this innovative technology is making waves around the world by guaranteeing water security for countries, governments, businesses, industries, livestock and individuals alike. It is no exaggeration to say that AWG technology has the potential to change the world. In fact, the whole of humanity can be watered and sanitised with less than one percent of the humidity available in the atmosphere.

In fact, the whole of humanity can be watered and sanitised with less than one percent of the humidity available in the atmosphere.

Driven by the increasing demand for clean and potable water, especially in areas with limited access to clean water or where existing water sources are contaminated, the atmospheric water generator market is conservatively expected to reach US$14.05 billion by 2030.

Small Island Developing States (SIDS) like Antigua have long grappled with water scarcity. Without rivers and natural freshwater, Antigua relies solely on rainfall or desalination for its water supply. Unfortunately, recent years have seen a decline in rainfall, leaving the island with limited options for fresh water. Desalination, which is expensive and energy-intensive, also poses a threat to the marine ecosystem by killing off tiny organisms during seawater intake and releasing harmful brine and chemical by-products. For an island like Antigua that prides itself on its eco-credentials and its pristine coastline and marine wildlife to attract tourism and fuel the economy, it is not sustainable in the long run. Being particularly vulnerable to climate change, 71 percent of SIDs risk water shortage, rising to 91 percent for those with particularly low altitudes. But it’s not just lack of rain and the increasing number of droughts affecting the amount of water on islands like Antigua; instead, they are often victims of their own success. As populations increase and tourism and cruise industries flourish, bringing jobs and prosperity to many small islands, demand for water is skyrocketing. And when that resource is already scarce, something must be done to keep the balance.

So, what if Antigua could provide its residents, farmers and hotels with all the water they needed simply by creating water from air sustainably and affordably? What is certain is that tapping into the original freshwater resource with the revolutionary AWG technology has mind-boggling potential. So, how does it work?

Did you know that just one percent of the water in the atmosphere can sustain every living thing on the planet?

Making water from air may sound too good to be true. But the fact is that the air we breathe contains a staggering six times more water than all the world’s rivers combined – an astounding six billion Olympic-sized swimming pools worth. Within just a few hours of installation using a simple “Plug & Play” and scalable solution, the Beyond Water machine will begin to produce water. It pulls air from the atmosphere and and removes all of the particles and pollutants from the air we breathe. The 100 percent purified air is then passed over a cold surface where it is condensed and put through a multistage filtration process to remove particles, bad smells and taste before being oxidised and remineralised for optimal human consumption. The result is water that is not only 100 percent pure and safe to drink but far exceeds the rigorous international standards set by the World Health Organisation.

Furthermore, Beyond Water preserves the water-soluble minerals essential to human well-being and goes the extra mile by using specially designed cartridges to enhance water quality with additional vital minerals, which can be customised on demand to improve plant, animal and human health. This extra attention to detail is the proverbial cherry on top, ensuring that the water produced by Beyond Water is not just pure but also incredibly beneficial to our bodies.

With a production capacity of anywhere from 250 to millions of litres of 100 percent pure water every day, it is suitable for hospitality, domestic use, sanitation, farming, irrigation, and even livestock. With this impressive capability, Beyond Water can even play a crucial role in ensuring Antigua’s water and food security for generations to come.

And with instant support for 11 of the 17 UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), it is safe to say that Beyond Water’s atmospheric water technology helps drive us all towards a more sustainable and equitable world from the very first drop.

FAQ

What is the maximum amount of water that can be produced daily?

The sky's the limit. The largest machines produce 5,000 litres per day and can be racked and stacked to produce millions upon millions per day.

I am living off-grid on a farm. Can I use this technology?

Absolutely. With Atmospheric Water Generation (AWG) technology, you can make water anywhere, anytime and on any power source.

Our business has a desalination plant to ensure water supply; how can we benefit from switching to AWG technology?

Apart from reducing the environmental footprint and benefiting the ocean and marine habitat, the water produced from the air is 100 percent pure. In addition, Beyond Water’s patented technology uses the air it purifies to supply air-conditioning units, generating significant savings whilst drastically improving the quality of the air we breathe when in an airconditioned environment.

We just bought an offshore island; can we depend entirely on Beyond Water, even for drinking water?

Since 100 percent pure water is produced from the air and the machines are scalable to any need, it’s a turnkey water solution for the whole island’s needs. Moreover, it will strengthen your eco-credentials.

What is the difference between regular bottled water and Beyond Water?

Beyond Water is cheaper, cleaner and tastes better than ultra-premium bottled water. The mineral dosing capability offers significant customisation and water grades for plants, animals or people.

How much do the machines cost?

It all depends on the set-up, usage and scale and whether or not the machines are installed to provide 100 percent pure drinking water, to cool a building or if specialised steel to prevent corrosion from elements is required.

Do you need any specific technical knowledge to use the machines?

With a “Plug & Play” approach, anybody can operate them. Once connected to a power source and switched on, the machine will do the rest with deliberate simple maintenance procedures.

What temperature and humidity levels are required for the machines to produce water?
