Uravu Labs is developing technologies like solar powered atmospheric water generation and decentralised greywater treatment to accelerate the progress towards water sustainability.
Uravu Labs is a startup working on innovative water technologies. Their first product is called 'Aquapanel', a solar thermal device which sources safe drinking water from the air. It uses a thermo-sensitive hygroscopic material to capture the water-vapor from the air, and abundant solar thermal energy to power the process of release and conversion to liquid water. The device thus remains simple, easy to use and has almost zero operations and maintenance costs. Each panel can serve a household and can also be scaled to serve a community requiring thousands of liters per day. The solution can thus enable a completely decentralized access to clean drinking water for millions of people. The panel can also collect rainwater, purify it and store it for use later.
