(ZENIT News / Rome, 08.06.2024).- Watergen, an Israeli company specializing in water generation technology, has installed one of its machines at the Office of Papal Charities in Vatican City. This machine, which produces clean drinking water from the air, will provide Cardinal Konrad Krajewski and his team with a sustainable source of water on-site.
The installation of the Watergen machine at the Office of Papal Charities reflects a shared commitment to addressing global water scarcity. Cardinal Konrad Krajewski, who leads the office with a focus on humanitarian aid, will benefit from this new water source, which aligns with the office’s mission to support vulnerable communities.
Watergen, under the leadership of its owner and President, Dr. Michael Mirilashvili, has actively pursued its mission to ensure global access to drinkable water. The company has donated its water-generating machines to crisis regions, including Syria. In collaboration with the Multifaith Alliance for Syrian Refugees (MFA), Watergen provided an atmospheric water generator to a Syrian medical facility, addressing urgent needs for clean water amid the ongoing civil war.
Established in 2009, Watergen pioneered a patented technology for cost-effective, low-energy production of clean drinking water from air. The process involves pulling in air, chilling it to extract humidity, and then transforming the resultant water into drinkable water using a series of filters. The technology, which relies on a plastic heat exchanger and proprietary software, has been deployed in over 60 countries, including regions with inadequate water infrastructure such as India and Uzbekistan, as well as drought-stricken areas in developed nations like California.
This development underscores the potential for innovative technology to contribute to sustainable practices and address water-related challenges worldwide.
