TECHNOLOGY

The Arroyo concentrates humidity using a custom high-temperature desiccant wheel to draw moisture out of the air. The wheel is loaded with moisture by flowing air through the Arroyo. Waste heat from other system components is used to efficiently heat the flowing air to remove moisture from the wheel. The air is then cooled and the condensed water is filtered and treated with chlorine before being collected in storage tanks. This revolutionary technology allows the efficient creation of water in almost any environment, including dry, desert environments.
