A mobile, self-propelled platform, which includes an enclosed trailer containing a portable air-water recovery system, is disclosed. This trailer includes a wind turbine mounted outside of the closed trailer environment, and adapted for recovery of energy from an exhaust air stream that is vented from within the enclosed trailer environment. The energy generated from such exhaust air stream is used to supplement traditional power sources associated with the operation of water generation process. The energy recovered from the exhaust air stream is projected to reduce the overall operating cost of the air-water recovery system by least 25%, based upon its current energy consumption needs. This system has application to other environments in which a force air stream is produce incident to operation of a primary process, as for example, where a high pressure, air dryer is used to remove moisture from a product, or to accelerate a curing operation.
