Abstract

We propose to develop a compact, lightweight system for extracting water vapor from the atmosphere and producing high-quality drinking water. Our microchannel water extractor (MWX) system uses Creare’s innovative, additive manufacturing techniques and high-capacity MOF sorbents to build an extremely compact heat and mass exchanger for efficient sorption of water vapor from air. We will prove feasibility in Phase I by demonstrating MOF coatings that integrate with compact heat & mass exchange structures; measuring the cyclic sorption capacity of the coatings; producing a concept design for an atmospheric water extraction system; and demonstrating production of potable water compliant with TBMED-577.
