What Drinkable Air Technologies does

Drinkable Air Technologies is a Fort Lauderdale, Florida-based manufacturer of atmospheric water generators (AWGs) founded in 2010 (alongside its predecessor, Drinkable Air, Inc.). The company's three core products — the C3 (up to 12L/day, countertop), C8 (up to 40L/day, freestanding with lockable wheels), and C60 (272L/day outdoor commercial unit with 180L holding tank) — extract water vapor from ambient air via electrostatic-antimicrobial filtration, condensation through a food-safe-lubricant-coated condenser, patented ozone purification, granulated carbon filtration, and a mineral cartridge. Units are designed and engineered in the USA and operate on grid electricity or sustainable power sources (wind, solar, diesel generator).

The company generates revenue primarily through one-time hardware sales of AWG units, supported by a usage-based water-production service tied to US power-utility demand-response programs that enable remote activation during off-peak hours. Pricing is quote-based and not publicly disclosed; the company benchmarks its economics at approximately 6 cents per liter of water produced versus 21 cents to $1.25 per liter for bottled water depending on the market. Distribution combines direct enterprise field sales with a strategic channel partnership — Green Key Global, a hospitality sustainability-certification organization covering 2,600+ properties across 50+ countries including Starwood and Carlson hotel groups — and co-development relationships with anchor customers such as Rotana Hotels.

Drinkable Air Technologies serves hospitality, office/corporate, schools, emergency facilities, residential, and power-utility customers across 38 countries, with primary GTM focus on the Middle East, North Africa, Asia, and Oceania regions. The company is privately held, operates with 1-10 employees, has no disclosed institutional funding, and reports no revenue figures in available sources. International operations are coordinated through Drinkable Air Canada, led by COO Michael Bourgon.

Core offering

Drinkable Air Technologies designs, engineers, and manufactures atmospheric water generator (AWG) units that extract water vapor from ambient air and convert it into purified drinking water through condensation, ozone purification, carbon filtration, and mineral enhancement. The company sells three hardware models (C3 countertop, C8 freestanding, C60 outdoor commercial) with daily output ranging from 12 to 272 liters, primarily to hospitality, office, school, and emergency-facility customers seeking to eliminate single-use plastic bottles.

Product overview

Drinkable Air Technologies offers a portfolio of Atmospheric Water Generator (AWG) products that extract pure drinking water from humidity in the air. The product line includes three models: the C3 (compact countertop unit for homes/offices producing 12L/day), the C8 (mobile floor unit for offices/schools/hospitals producing 40L/day), and the C60 (large outdoor commercial unit producing 272L/day with 180L tank). All units utilize the company's proprietary AWG technology combining air filtration, condensation, ozone purification, and mineral cartridge processing to produce clean, great-tasting water while eliminating plastic bottle waste.
