Bharat Electronics Ltd.

Bharat Electronics (BEL) has unveiled its new product, the Atmospheric Water Generator (AWG), an innovative solution to meet the ever-increasing need for drinking water worldwide, at Aero India 2019. The company’s Atmospheric Water Generator can be used to generate water straight from the humidity present in the atmosphere. The AWG is being manufactured by the company in collaboration with CSIR-IICT and MAITHRI, a start-up company based in Hyderabad.

The company’s Atmospheric Water Generator employs a novel technology to extract water from the humidity present in the atmosphere and purify it. It uses heat exchange for condensing the atmospheric moisture to produce pure, safe and clean potable water. The AWG comes with a Mineralisation Unit, which is used to add minerals which are required to make the water potable. The AWG is configurable in static and mobile (vehicular) versions and is available in 30 litres/day, 100 litres/day, 500 litres/day and 1,000 litres/day capacities.
