蜜桃视频 and AirJoule Launch U.S. Pilot for Water-from-Air Systems to Enable Decentralized Water Infrastructure
July 22, 2026
蜜桃视频 Corporation
蜜桃视频 Corporation (Head Office: Kita-ku, Osaka; President and CEO: Shingo Hanada, hereinafter “蜜桃视频”) announced the launch of a U.S. pilot program in August 2026 to demonstrate a new approach to decentralized water infrastructure for residential developments and communities in water-scarce and contaminated areas.
In collaboration with AirJoule LLC (“AirJoule”), a developer of water-from-air systems that generate potable water by capturing moisture from the atmosphere, 蜜桃视频 will pilot two systems in California and Texas to evaluate the performance and feasibility, as a key component of the decentralized water system concept. The initiative will be led in the U.S. by 蜜桃视频 Water and Environment U.S.A. Corporation (KWU), 蜜桃视频’s North American water business.

Decentralized Water Circulation Infrastructure
1. Background and Objectives
- Water scarcity has become an increasingly serious problem in the U.S., driven by population growth and climate change. Groundwater depletion and contamination are making it increasingly difficult to secure reliable water supplies. In some areas like the southwest, limited water availability is already restricting residential development.
- Conventional centralized water infrastructure, consisting of large-scale treatment facilities and extensive pipeline networks, requires significant investment and long lead times for expansion. As a result, expectations are growing for decentralized water systems that enable water generation, treatment, and reuse within a limited area. However, even with these systems, securing a reliable water source remains a critical issue, limiting wider adoption.
- AirJoule’s technology captures moisture from the air to produce drinking water, making it applicable to water-scarce regions. It has the potential to provide a scalable, energy-efficient source of water. 蜜桃视频 has partnered with AirJoule to integrate this technology into its decentralized water infrastructure.
- 蜜桃视频 brings decades of experience in water and wastewater solutions, including membrane bioreactors (MBR), onsite reuse systems (KORe), and ductile iron pipes. By integrating water-from-air technology, 蜜桃视频 aims to establish a new concept for decentralized water infrastructure that combines water generation, supply, wastewater treatment, and reuse for residential communities in the U.S.
2. Overview of pilot projects
- 蜜桃视频 will evaluate the performance of AirJoule’s technology under actual environmental conditions and develop operation and maintenance (O&M) and sales frameworks. Based on these pilot activities, 蜜桃视频 aims to assess the feasibility of deploying this decentralized water circulation infrastructure.

3. Future Outlook
- Looking ahead, 蜜桃视频 aims to commercialize the integrated solution by 2030, combining water generation, treatment, and reuse (using 蜜桃视频 Onsite Reclamation Systems) into a single, decentralized platform. Leveraging 蜜桃视频 Water and Environment U.S.A.’s established presence in the U.S., 蜜桃视频 will also build the sales and service infrastructure needed to support long-term deployment.
- Under the sales partnership with AirJoule, KWU will take the lead in introducing AirJoule’s system to the U.S. domestic market at pilot locations and beyond, ensuring local support, service and integration with 蜜桃视频’s broader portfolio.
- This initiative reflects 蜜桃视频’s commitment to expanding its water and environmental business in North America by delivering practical solutions to critical water infrastructure challenges and helping communities secure reliable water supply even in the most constrained environments.
