Israel is a pioneer in the sustainable use and production of water. Around 70% of water is recycled in Israel. Spain is number 2 globally with a water recycling rate of around 12%.
Israel is the world market leader. Israel could supply the Middle East with water, but Islamic states and their terrorist organizations prefer to wage a war of extermination against Israel.
They will lose this war, even if they are supported by the global left. Just yesterday, Iran and its united terror front Hezbollah-Hamas-PA were once again exposed: thousands of pagers exploded yesterday in the pockets of senior officers of the terrorist organization Hezbollah. Today, walkie-talkies exploded. There is no end in sight. All of Israel is wondering why the IDF is not attacking now and destroying Hezbollah. But this is another story.
Against this background, the extraction of water is another milestone and strategic asset made possible by Israeli scientists. In the Technion (Haifa) a system has been developed that can extract 1,000 liters of water per day in the desert. And this is just the beginning. In the Technion press release you can find out more:
“H2OLL has launched its first complete system for producing water from the air at Wadi Attir, a Bedouin community initiative in the Negev. The project, which started with an idea from Professors Eran Friedler and David Broday, faculty members in the Technion’s Faculty of Civil and Environmental Engineering, is in the midst of a crowdfunding campaign that has already raised more than 4 million shekels.
The goal of the project is to solve one of the greatest challenges of our time – clean drinking water for all. Dr. Khaled Gommed from the Faculty of Mechanical Engineering was also instrumental to the development of the technology.
Within a few years, the idea has turned into an alpha prototype at the Technion. Last week the first complete system was launched at Wadi Attir. The translation of the research into a practical system was made possible by H2OLL, led by Joab Kirsch (CEO), Ilan Katz (CTO), and Oded Distel (VP of Business Development). (…) The water crisis is not limited to the developing world. For example, about 60% of drinking water in Los Angeles is imported, and in Europe, rivers are becoming increasingly polluted. The bottled water market is currently worth $363 billion annually, and H2OLL intends to tap into this huge market, offering a better solution in terms of health, cost, and environmental impact.
The technology developed by Professors Broday and Friedler enables water extraction from the air even in dry and desert areas, while completely blocking chemical and biological contaminants. It is based on adsorption, unlike most companies in the field that operate on direct cooling technology. The difference is dramatic: while water extraction via direct cooling requires at least about 10 grams of water vapor per kilogram of air, H2OLL’s adsorption technology can produce water even when the amount of water vapor in the air is half that – about 5 grams of water vapor per kilogram of air. (…) The prototype that was built at the Technion more than four years ago produces 200 liters of water per day. On September 10, the company launched its first full commercial system, which will supply 1,000 liters of water per day in the Negev.”
H2OLL launched a crowdfunding campaign, raising more than 4 million shekels to date. The goal is to expand international marketing efforts, build the brand, connect the technology to solar energy, and develop a system that will produce about 10,000 liters of water per day.
