Carocell solar desalination / purification technology

After five years of intensive research and testing, F CUBED has developed - and is now introducing - its world leading low cost and environmentally friendly Carocell solar desalinating technology.

Carocelldirect solar desalination technologyemits no green house gas emissions, uses no chemicals, no costly membranes, no filters, no electronics and no ongoing power source is required other than solar radiation.

Carocell produces safe, high quality potable water from any source including seawater, groundwater and contaminated or polluted water. It also incorporates Zero Liquid Discharge (ZLD) technology when Carocell panels are in a series, which converts waste brine into drinking water and valuable fractionalised salts (sodium chloride and magnesium chloride - used for dust suppression in the mining industry).

Carocell is the most efficient and cost effective product of its kind. Preliminary independent testing by world-renowned engineering firm ARUP found Carocell to be almosttwice as solar efficient as comparable products. When combined with ZLD, Carocell is also significantly cheaper than commonly used reverse osmosis technology.

Low cost, robust, modular solar panels can be ground or roof mounted. The design enables multiple panels to be connected together to produce larger quantities of distilled water from a single source. The panels can besupplied individually or in bulk. Single panels are ideal for family use, a series of panels will provide for a village or the panels can be set up as a large scale water farm. The unique design of carocell enablesrainfall to be captured and harvested as well.

Carocell's increased efficiency (65% with peak efficiencies above 80%) over other solar distillation products (30 - 40%) is a combination of the proprietary materials used to dramatically increase the temperature of the feed water on the solar collector which enhances the evaporation / condensation processes inside the panel.

Additionally, sophisticated geometrical design allowing for easy maintenance, optimum performance and a self-controlling natural convection loop enabling widely superior energy recovery.
