Technology Foundation

AQUACLEARSOLUTIONS' desalination units operate entirely on solar energy—no fossil fuels required. Our land-based installations utilize technology developed in collaboration with the German Fraunhofer Institute, employing heliotropic mirrors that focus solar radiation onto tower-mounted concentrated solar power (CSP) photovoltaic systems.

Advanced Solar Process

Our advanced PV technology operates at 500 times normal solar radiation intensity. Twenty percent of collected solar energy converts to electricity, while the remaining 80% heats seawater that simultaneously cools the photovoltaic system. This dual-purpose design maximizes efficiency while the heated seawater reaches boiling point, initiating the evaporation process that produces distilled water through condensation.

Microplastic Removal Innovation

During the boiling process (sustained for over five minutes), calcium carbonate precipitates and forms small particles that coat microplastics. These coated particles become large enough to capture with standard filtration, effectively removing microplastics—an increasingly critical environmental concern. Our system removes numerous contaminants from both air and water.

By-Product Valorization

The concentrated brine remaining after evaporation offers multiple revenue streams:

• Electrolysis pathway: Splits brine into green hydrogen, chlorine, and caustic soda—all highly demanded industrial raw materials
• Solar evaporation pathway: Flat basins allow final 10% water evaporation, yielding harvestable sea salt
• Ammonia production: Combining stored green hydrogen with atmospheric nitrogen produces ammonia, essential for fertilizer and emerging as alternative engine fuel

Competitive Advantages

Unlike reverse osmosis systems (optimal at 4-7% salinity), our technology processes water at any salinity level. We achieve zero energy expenses through complete solar coverage of electrical and thermal requirements, with zero emissions to sea, air, or soil.

Exceptional Energy Efficiency

A 15-meter tower produces up to 15,000 cubic meters of distilled water annually, depending on solar radiation intensity. Our proprietary energy recovery system recycles 90% of energy within the system, multiplying solar energy efficiency by a minimum factor of 25—with development targets reaching 100x or higher. This energy recovery enables solar technology to compete economically with fossil fuel systems for the first time.

Solar availability directly impacts output; locations like Cyprus with 300 sunny days annually provide optimal conditions.

Water Usage Perspective

While drinking water represents only 0.1% of human water consumption, it remains critical—humans cannot survive beyond 72 hours without it. However, food production requires 1,000 times this amount, making agricultural irrigation our primary focus.

Efficient Irrigation Solutions

Traditional overhead sprinkler irrigation wastes 80% of water through evaporation. Root-irrigation systems—subsurface pipes delivering water directly to plant roots—save 80% of water while promoting deeper root growth and larger yields. This approach can transform regions that are green for only a few months annually into year-round productive land.

Scalable Implementation

A single installation produces the 15,000 cubic meters required annually by a 1,000-guest hotel. Mirrors and towers can be roof-mounted, minimizing ground space consumption and allowing continued agricultural use or building placement beneath installations.

Modular Design

Our technology follows a modular "IKEA approach"—components manufactured in German factories are shipped for on-site assembly. The plug-and-play design (color-coded connections) enables installation by minimally trained local workers, essential for deployment in developing regions.

Target Markets

Primary customers include private individuals, hotels, golf courses, water parks, and industrial organizations with high-volume water requirements.

Distribution Strategy

While seawater pipelines remain a long-term possibility, permit complexities and land ownership issues make them impractical initially. Our approach focuses on coastal installations with containerized water transport—20, 60, or 80-liter solid plastic containers meeting international drinking water standards, plus 10,000-liter trucks for bulk distribution to storage facilities. Our team brings 30 years of offshore platform drinking water storage experience, ensuring safe distribution nationwide using internationally licensed, tested materials.

Business Model

We operate on a contract-first basis: identifying clients, securing long-term contracts (typically 30 years) with guaranteed water volumes and international payment guarantees before commencing construction. This approach ensures financial security before facility development, permit acquisition, and construction begin.

Summary: AquaClearSOLUTIONS delivers 100% solar-powered desalination with unprecedented energy efficiency, zero emissions, universal salinity processing, valuable by-product generation, and scalable modular design—positioning sustainable water solutions as economically competitive with conventional systems.
