Snowbird SAWG Series Atmospheric Water Generators

The Snowbird SAWG Series is a range of atmospheric water generators designed to produce potable water directly from ambient air in demanding field and expeditionary environments. The range includes the SAWG 14, SAWG 28 and SAWG 150, providing scalable water production from compact portable systems through to a high capacity trailer mounted solution.

Depending on the model, the SAWG Series can produce approximately 53 to 568 litres of potable water per day. Each atmospheric water generator combines multi stage filtration, UV C purification and ozone treatment. In addition, the systems provide integrated water storage, continuous operation and direct water dispensing for field use.

Typical applications

• Remote and expeditionary operations where conventional water infrastructure is unavailable.
• Field deployments that require an independent source of potable water.
• Emergency response operations where water supply may be disrupted or difficult to transport.
• Temporary operating locations requiring scalable water production.
• Sustained field operations that require higher capacity potable water generation.
• Locations where atmospheric moisture and rainwater can supplement traditional water supply arrangements.

How atmospheric water generation works

Air intake

First, the system draws ambient air through the air inlet. Moisture within the incoming air provides the source for water production.

Water generation

Next, the atmospheric water generator extracts moisture from the air and converts it into collected water for treatment and storage.

Filtration

The system then passes the collected water through its filtration process. SAWG 14 and SAWG 28 use a reusable sediment pre filter and multi stage filtration system.

UV C purification

UV C treatment provides an additional purification stage before storage and dispensing. For higher capacity requirements, SAWG 150 uses two independent filtration systems and two UV C purification chambers.

Ozone treatment

In addition, the systems use ozone treatment to support water quality. SAWG 14 and SAWG 28 incorporate an ozone generator, while SAWG 150 uses an ozone treatment recirculating system.

Water storage and dispensing

Finally, the system stores treated water internally and makes it available through two distribution taps. Integrated rainwater collection provides an additional source of water across the range.

SAWG 14

The SAWG 14 is the smallest model in the range and provides a compact atmospheric water generation solution for mobile field operations. Its two person carry configuration combines potable water production, purification, storage and dispensing within a transportable system.

SAWG 28

The SAWG 28 increases potable water production while retaining the compact two person carry configuration of the smaller SAWG 14. As a result, it provides greater daily capacity without moving to the larger trailer mounted format.

• Potable water production: 76 L/day
• Internal water storage: 38 L
• Water dispensing rate: 7.5 L/min
• Dispenser taps: 2
• Empty weight: 82 kg

SAWG 150

The SAWG 150 provides the highest potable water production capacity in the SAWG Series. Its trailer mounted configuration supports sustained field operations that require significantly greater water production, storage and dispensing capability.

Filtration and water treatment

The SAWG Series combines multiple treatment stages to support potable water production from atmospheric moisture. First, filtration removes sediment and other material from the collected water. UV C purification then provides an additional treatment stage before storage and dispensing.

SAWG 14 and SAWG 28 use a reusable sediment pre filter, multi stage filtration and UV C purification. In addition, an ozone generator supports ongoing water treatment.

For higher capacity operations, SAWG 150 uses two independent filtration systems and two UV C purification chambers. An ozone treatment recirculating system provides additional treatment within the larger system.
