Swiss company SEAS, Xylem collaborate to advance air-to-water technology
Societe De L’Eau Aerienne Suisse, SA (SEAS), a leading technology provider in industrial and B2B air to water systems has announced that it is collaborating with leading global water technology company Xylem to advance its air-to-water technology through Xylem’s inaugural Commercial Accelerator Programme.
The Xylem Commercial Accelerator Programme is designed to empower emerging technology companies to scale commercially through pilot opportunities, mentorship, and access to Xylem resources, with the goal of helping solve customer challenges of water scarcity, resilience, and affordability.
SEAS, headquartered in Lugano, Switzerland has assembly facilities in Italy and the UAE and offices in the United States and the UAE. The Swiss company has been engaged for more than a decade in the development and commercialization of systems that extract humidity from ambient air to produce water for human consumption and for agricultural and industrial applications.
A unique capability of the SEAS system is that the large volumes of hot and cold air produced by the system’s condensation process can be integrated into a customer’s HVAC system, significantly reducing energy consumption.
“Global awareness of water as a systemic risk to society has never been greater. Investment in water solutions continues to accelerate as communities and businesses around the world address intensifying challenges in the face of climate change. Alternative water supply is an important part of the equation, and so we are thrilled to partner with SEAS to progress this important work.” said Kyle Schoenheit, Innovation Manager with Xylem’s global innovation team – Xylem Innovation Labs.
“Collaborating with Xylem represents an important milestone in the growth of our company, and we look forward to developing exciting projects with our partner Xylem,” said Lawrence G Graev, a Founding Partner of SEAS.
