... by binding water from the humidity in the air.
To do this, we rely on the adsorption/desorption principle that is widespread in nature, which we have implemented in a technical plant: in this process, the humidity of the air is efficiently captured by using hygroscopic materials.
This enables us to provide high‑purity water even in areas where water is scarce.
