Uravu Labs provides a modular, decentralized system that extracts water from ambient air using a proprietary liquid‑salt sorbent. The solution continuously absorbs humidity, thermally regenerates the sorbent, and delivers high‑purity drinking water at scales up to 4,000 liters per day, reducing reliance on traditional water utilities and enabling off‑grid deployment.

Problem
Growing water scarcity, rising costs of traditional water utilities, and climate‑driven disruptions are causing supply gaps that are projected to exceed demand by 40 % by 2030, especially in regions reliant on depleted groundwater and aging infrastructure.
Solution
Uravu delivers a decentralized, modular “Water‑From‑Air” system that extracts moisture from ambient air using proprietary liquid‑salt sorbents. The salts continuously absorb humidity and are then thermally regenerated to release high‑purity water, enabling 24 × 7 operation at scales up to 4,000 liters per day. The technology integrates material science, custom hardware, and control software to provide a plug‑and‑play solution that can be deployed in remote, off‑grid, or urban settings without extensive civil works. By producing water locally, the system reduces reliance on centralized supply chains, lowers operational costs, and supports climate‑positive water management.
Target Audience
Primary customers are municipalities, remote communities, industrial sites, and disaster‑relief organizations seeking reliable, off‑grid water supply solutions.
