SkyH2O has announced that it has introduced for the Western USA market a pre-engineered utility-scale Atmospheric Water Generating ("AWG") system. The world-class AWG system has been specifically designed to quickly help water stressed communities in California and further Western States. In many cases SkyH2O AWG projects from assessment through construction can be completed and provide fresh potable water that meets WHO standards within 12-months.
SkyH2O has partnered with EAWC Technologies to integrate their world-class, unique, patented and proven AWG technology and products. SkyH2O's AWG systems enjoy a +25 year life expectancy, with minimal maintenance, and have minimal environmental impact. AWG systems can be deployed in a distributed manner, specifically where water is needed most including at or near existing reservoir infrastructure.
"EAWC's technology and products are groundbreaking and enjoy world-leading German engineering that allows us to provide our customers with the very best AWG systems," said Alexander von Welczeck, CEO of SkyH2O.
SkyH2O's pre-engineered fast-track AWG systems are uniquely designed for the Western USA and begin at about 1,250 acre-feet per year capacity which requires an about football-field sized site and can be modularly expanded to +50,000 acre-feet per year. The process begins with an on-site 30-90 day Feasibility Study and Project Assessment that utilizes our AM65 mobile demonstration AWG system, followed by an about 6-month EPC construction period.
"SkyH2O's local knowledge, project finance and operational expertise is unique and unmatched in the newly emerging utility scale AWG marketplace, and management's proven ability to team with the best EPC contractors to develop the highest quality AWG systems speaks to the strengths of their internal processes," said Ralph Hofmeier, CEO of EAWC Technologies.
Utility-scale AWG systems costs begin at about $12 million. As an IWP (independent water producer) SkyH2O will sell water to well qualified customers at wholesale water prices typically at about $1,000/acre-foot under a long-term Water Purchase Agreement ("WPA") in many Western USA locations including coastal, inland and even desert.
