ABOUT US

AWN Nanotech is a Montreal-based deep clean-technology company, providing a paradigm-changing zero-energy solution for atmospheric freshwater generation.We focus on water scarcity problem by proposing a proprietary nanotechnology that generate freshwater from the air without energy. AWN provides high-quality potable freshwater to parched areas of the globe. We commercialize energy-free AWG devices based on a unique nanotechnology, to various water-needing market niches as well as deploy them into remote communities. Inspired by nature, AWN Nanotech has developed a patent pending (P53958US00) highly differentiated nanotechnology-based platform with products producing tens to thousands of litres of freshwater per day from the atmosphere without consuming external power, knowing that there is more water in the atmosphere than in all of the world’s rivers. Although not readily available in dry or polluted locations, this water can be extracted and purified into potable water for human, animal, plant and food and industrial processes. AWN Nanotech meets the need experienced by more than 1.2 billion people worldwide: a reliable, energy-efficient and eco-friendly source of freshwater. It relies on low level renewable sources of energy for its minimal energy consumption. This proprietary technology is unique; it provides an ingenious, efficient solution to vastly enhance Fog Harvesting and Atmospheric Water Generation (AWG). Our system design is highly scalable and modular. It can be customized to meet the need of industrial customers, community infrastructure or individual households. Our industrial products provide an “off-the-grid” and easily deployable means to produce fresh drinkable water eliminating their dependence on expensive grid electricity and city water. Our product overcomes many major flaws of marketed water supply systems, such as heavy capital cost, high power requirements, or the need to be located in a coastal regions.
