Challenge

Access to clean and reliable water has been a long-standing challenge for isolated villages in Equatorial Guinea. The specific village in question suffered from a lack of infrastructure, making it difficult to provide consistent water supply. The community relied on distant and often contaminated water sources, which posed significant health risks and required a tremendous amount of time and effort, particularly from women and children. The challenge was further compounded by the village’s remote location, which made traditional water distribution methods impractical and unsustainable. Moreover, the project had to align with environmental goals by minimizing its carbon footprint and relying on renewable energy, adding an additional layer of complexity to the already daunting task.

Solution

To address these challenges, we built an atmospheric water generator in a remote supply format, with a nominal generation capacity of 504 liters/day. It is ideal for industrial installations such as construction sites, mines, oil rigs, remote facilities, etc.
It is designed to be transported with pallet trucks and to fit on an EUR-pallet. It can operate under extreme environmental conditions up to 55oC with the ability to extract water with low ambient humidity. It has been optimized to minimize the energetic cost of water generation. Compatible with external tank, maintaining its water safe thanks to the integrated recirculation mode. Several water purification options are available.

Client

Our client, the forward-thinking government of Equatorial Guinea, identified the critical need for a sustainable and reliable water supply for an isolated village. The project was driven by the vision of the government, who has been actively involved in overseeing development initiatives that improve the quality of life for their citizens. The village’s remote location and lack of existing infrastructure presented significant challenges, including the need for a solution that could operate independently of traditional power sources and was tailored to the local environment. Furthermore, the client required a system that would be easy to maintain by the local community, ensuring long-term resilience and sustainability.
