ASX Company News: Successful Trial Of Water Generator By Italian Military

Wednesday, March 16th, 2011

Island Sky® Australia Limited (ISK), the manufacturer and distributor of innovative atmospheric water generators, has received favourable reports by the Italian Military for its participation in the Senegal based military field trial using Skywater® 300 machines. Island Sky’s Italian distributor Veragon SRL supervised the twenty-day trail and is promoting the technology in Africa.

The Skywater machine was used during the course of the EMERALD MOVE 2010 mission, held in Senegal from the 8th to the 28th of November, 2010.   According to the technical report of the Battaglione Logistico Golametto, “The use of Skywater has tested very positively, resulting in economic savings and a reduction of the logistical costs of loading/unloading and distributing bottled water.”

The offical report disclosed additional reductions of the costs connected to disposing of plastic contatiners and packing materials such as plastic bottles, wood pallets and cellophane wrapping materials. The footprint of the machine is  the size of 2 pallets of bottled water (equivalent to about 1,500 litres of water in 1/2 litre bottles) consequently saving cubic meters of cargo space. The machine is fitted with a mineral filter and an antibacterial system that kills bacteria with an ultraviolet light. The military command deemed the water analysis appropriate for human consumption.

According to the technical director of field operations, the average production of potable water by the machine was 400 litres per day, with a power consumption average of 11Kw for an average cost of €.08 cents per litre, compared to the market cost of €.26 cents a litre bottled, a savings of about 2.5 litres per capita.

“There was therefore a savings of 16,330 liters of bottled water, for a value of EUR€ 4,245.80 over the 20 day testing period. Ultimately, we can advise that the machine in question is an excellent investment in terms of the savings of economic resources while having very positive results for the entire staff, both Italian and foreign, who worked on the EMERALD MOVE 2010 mission,” the report concluded.

Under the agreement, Island Sky® Chief Executive Officer Richard Groden, said the company would ship two container-loads of its Skywater machines to Australia, in late January, under a consignment arrangement with Waternauts. “The distribution agreement with Waternauts gives Island Sky a strong, strategic partner in Australia, allowing us to introduce our SkywaterTM machines to the local market,” Mr Groden said. “With support from Waternauts, the applications for our SkywaterTM machines range from supplying drinking water to homes, offices, and factories, to producing much larger amounts of water required for infrastructure projects right across the country.” Mr Groden said the consignment shipped to Waternauts would comprise 120 of the floor- standing SkywaterTM 14 machines and 8 of the larger, commercial SkywaterTM 300 machines.
