Bry-Air Launches 1,600 L/h Air Water Generator

In January 2026, the United Nations University Institute for Water, Environment and Health warned that the world is entering an era of “Global Water Bankruptcy,” with nearly three‑quarters of the global population living in water‑insecure or critically water‑insecure regions. UNICEF estimates that up to 700 million people could be displaced by intense water scarcity by 2030, especially in arid and semi‑arid zones.

Against this backdrop, Bry-Air (Asia) Pvt. Ltd., part of the Pahwa Group, announced the launch of its Air Water Generator (AWG) range. The AWG extracts moisture from ambient air and converts it into usable water, providing a decentralized source that does not rely on pipelines, borewells, or water tankers. The technology is engineered to operate reliably in low‑humidity conditions, including arid and semi‑arid regions, a capability the company claims is unmatched by any other product.

The AWG platform is built on more than six decades of adsorption and moisture‑control expertise. Over the last two decades, Bry‑Air’s adsorption technology has produced 28 new families of technology and secured 96 granted patents. The AWG itself is protected by patents, with the first filing in 2022 and subsequent advancements leading to multiple units operating since that year in the 55‑litre‑per‑day class and the 1,200‑litre‑per‑day class within the mid‑range category. The company now produces nearly four engineered desiccant packages each day.

A key product under production is an AWG unit rated at 200 litres per hour. The modular design allows units to be stacked, delivering up to 1,600 litres per hour per system, which translates to approximately 14 million litres of water per year.

Water, At Every Scale

  • Commercial Units: 55–200 L/day – suitable for offices, remote sites and temporary camps.
  • Semi‑Industrial Units: 1,000–2,000 L/day – suited for manufacturing, hospitality, defence and urban infrastructure.
  • Industrial Scale Units: 200–1,600 L/hour, scalable to 14 million L/year per system – intended for data centres, island communities, remote industrial sites and high‑value farming.

The AWG range is designed for energy‑efficient water generation, powered by advanced rotors built on Bry‑Air’s adsorption technology. These rotors are durable, engineered for continuous operation with minimal supervision.

As part of its corporate social responsibility initiatives, Bry‑Air has already installed several AWG units in Alwar, Rajasthan, delivering locally generated water to communities in a water‑stressed region.

"For more than six decades, Bry‑Air has engineered technologies to control and manage moisture in air. With the AWG, we are applying that same depth of adsorption expertise in a new direction—extracting moisture from the atmosphere and converting it into a reliable source of water," said Deepak Pahwa, Chairman of the Pahwa Group and Managing Director of Bry‑Air (Asia). "Our installations in Alwar and NCR demonstrate how this technology can be deployed in the field, particularly in regions where access to conventional water sources is challenging. We see atmospheric water generation as an important part of decentralised water infrastructure for the future."
