target="_blank">) is headquartered in Peterborough,
Canada, with an innovation and manufacturing center in Rotterdam,
Netherlands. Our patented water technology provides economical
drinking water at scale wherever it's needed.
Our key global markets are:
- The humanitarian sector where we are
helping to bring safe drinking water to over 800 million people who
are living without access to clean water
The commercial sector with a focus on
oil and gas, agri-food and mining that needs a cost-effective,
environmentally-friendly solution for cleaning their
wastewater
Rainmaker builds two types of
energy-efficient, fresh water-producing technologies:
- Air-to-Water, which harvests fresh
water from the air
Water-to-Water, which transforms
seawater or polluted water into drinking water
The technology is both wind and
solar powered, is deployable anywhere, and leaves no carbon traces.
We also offer options for hybrid, grid and diesel-powered
models.
Air-to-Water units are available in
three standard sizes, producing 5,000, 10,000 or 20,000 liters of
drinking water per unit per day. Water-to-Water units are also
available in three standard sizes producing 37,500, 75,000 or
150,000 liters per unit per day. In the humanitarian sector,
Rainmaker technology is suitable for communities of 200 to 30,000
people, depending on number of units deployed.
Our goal is to become a global
leader in solving the worldwide water crisis. Simply put, we're
creating safe, drinking water where little or none exists.
