Q: What technical publications are available on the dewvaporation process?
A: The Dewvaporation™ water treatment process is the patented technology underlying L'Eau's products and services. The name comes from combining the two complementary processes employed: "dew formation" and "evaporation". More precisely, Dewvaporation is an energy efficient water purification process that involves a carrier gas and purifies water through a humidification / dehumidification cycle. Typically, water purification systems operate at high temperatures and/or pressures, and require filters or membranes which must be replaced. The dewvaporation process, in contrast, operates at moderate temperatures, at atmospheric pressure, and has no filters or membranes that must be replaced. It also has no moving parts in its core operating elements.
