MOLGAS-DW

Mol Gas DW

Drinking Water compacted to 1/10th of its volume – Produced and traded as fuel.

Besides being a fuel source  for ISAH Pod equipped space ships - Mol Gas DW is produced directly from drinking water (springs etc)  and in reverse osmosis plants on Water planets )Ice Planets, Ice Asteroids etc)

The need for drinking water not only for consumption but also for agriculture and hygienic ourposes has and is a substantial. Especially since the United Earth initiative "A Human on every rock" and later "A Union Citizen on every rock"

These strongly subsidized and promoted prgrams sent colonists on everh floating rock. While Hydrogen is abundant everywhere, Oxyen is not.

Limitless breathing air and water taken granted on Earth presented a challenge for all the "Non Garden World" environments.

History

A crafty Engineer of Planet Canaan named Samion Rodovski (New Haifa Settkement) was a technical engineer for his small and back then very rudemental colony.

He was fascinated by then brand new idea of molecule compacting substances.. He used all his savngs and that of his family to order the part s to built himelf a Molecule compacter. He experimented with various liquids and substances.

His wife Sarah had the idea to compact drinking water, so more of it could be transported to colonies that needed it and she founded the Samion-Sarah Inc in 2140

Drinking Water compacting  proved much more complicated, as doing it with a pure materila as H20. The various  minerals and impurities that make drinking water palatable and useful for humans, made the compacting more difficult. Samion invented the Demineralizing and Re mineralizing process and the back then famous Mineral Blocks. He also developed a portable Decompactor that could be used by colonists on waterless worlds .He called his room sized aparatus the Samion-Matter Inflator and despite the funny name and the size. Over 2 Million SMIs were sold and used on many water less colonies.

While the Mineral blocks and the room sized Water Decompactors are long gone history. The emergency Water supply bottles and the hand held de compactors are still found in Emergency kits across the Union and while most Union Citiens have no idea  why the hand held easy to use Water decompactor is called a SMI (Essemmai). A miniaturized SMI manufactured by Samion-Sarah  can be found in the Moisture suits of the Ult, Union wide. ( Most Ult carry a 5 liter -compressed to 0.5 liters emergency water supply whereever they go)

Today there is no need for Mineral Blocks as the technology of material compacting is now almost 3000 years old and well developed. However the Emergency bottles in Space Ship emergency sets still have  Mineral Cubes seperate.
