Solar Water Purification
Carocell solar purification systems convert seawater, groundwater, and contaminated water into potable water using solar energy. The technology requires no chemicals, membranes, or external power, making it ideal for remote and off-grid locations. With efficiencies up to 80%, these systems provide sustainable, low-maintenance solutions for communities and industries facing water scarcity.
Zero Liquid Discharge
Our zero liquid discharge technology processes waste brine from desalination to recover usable water and valuable minerals like lithium and salt. This eliminates environmental pollution while maximizing resource efficiency, particularly in industrial applications where waste minimization is critical.
Modular System Design
Carocell panels are modular and scalable, allowing systems to be expanded for larger water output. This design supports applications ranging from individual households to industrial-scale operations, ensuring adaptability to diverse needs without compromising efficiency or sustainability.
Remote Community Solutions
Designed for off-grid deployment, Carocell systems provide clean water to remote communities lacking infrastructure. With no ongoing energy costs or maintenance requirements, these systems ensure reliable access to potable water in regions like Bangladesh, Kiribati, and rural Australia.
Lithium Extraction Integration
Carocell technology enables lithium extraction from brine during water purification, offering dual benefits of clean water production and mineral harvesting. This innovation supports industries requiring sustainable lithium sources while addressing water scarcity in arid regions.

Questions
What is F CUBED's core technology?
F CUBED's Carocell technology uses solar energy to purify water through evaporation and condensation, producing potable water from seawater, groundwater, or contaminated sources without chemicals or membranes.
Where does F CUBED operate?
We operate in over 30 countries across Asia, Africa, the Pacific Islands, and Latin America, with installations in Bangladesh, Colombia, Kiribati, and Australia.
How does the Carocell system work?
Solar energy heats water in modular panels, causing evaporation. Condensation forms distilled water, while waste brine is processed for mineral extraction or further purification.
What makes Carocell systems unique?
Carocell systems achieve 65-80% efficiency, use no external power, and enable zero liquid discharge, converting waste into usable water and minerals like lithium or salt.
Are the systems suitable for remote areas?
Yes, Carocell systems are modular, off-grid, and require minimal maintenance, making them ideal for rural communities and islands with limited infrastructure.
