Base to Base biotech podcast 68: Water from air for pharma and beyond

This week, we have a conversation with Kyle Cordova, founder and CEO of AquaPoro.AquaPoroAquaPoro is a deeptech company engineering systems that can harvest water from the atmosphere based in California that was spun out of Jordan's Royal Scientific Society. Atmospheric water generators (AWGs) aren't uncommon as freshwater becomes scarcer for use in a variety of industries from food and beverages to pharmaceutical companies.AquaPoro's approach is different. Traditional AWGs require more than 60% humidity to function. AquaPoro's can function with less than 10%.Its atmospheric low-humidity moisture adsorption (ALMA) technology, based on Nobel Prize winning chemistry frameworks, extracts water from ambient air at lower energy and cost, regardless of temperature or humidity. Its process is continuous, and its modular "Stream" systems integrate directly into manufacturing facilities for more efficient output.To get in touch with guest suggestions, or to sponsor or advertise on the podcast, please email [email protected]
