Atmospheric Water Generator Design and Implementation

Summary form only given, as follows. The complete presentation was not made available for publication as part of the conference proceedings. A frequently [sic] report by the World Bank and McKinsey suggests the world is facing a 40% gap between the water supply and water demand. This gap is the result of a growing population, climate change, increasing demand, and the readily available volume of freshwater on the planet. Analysis by the U.S. Geological Survey demonstrates that there is more water in the air than in all the rivers in the world: 3,000 cubic miles of water, or six times that flowing in our rivers today. Therefore, Atmospheric water generation is an alternative solution to face a globe water crisis. Atmospheric Water Generator (AWG) consists of three basic processes as shown in figure below: air-filtering process to clean the inlet air from dust and dirt, dehumidification process to condense the water vapor from air, and water purification process to obtain safe and clean potable water free from bacteria. Finally, World Health Organization (WHO) standards are satisfied by adding required minerals.
