The system uses Carocell panels that look similar to the solar panels found on rooftops, but with key differences. The materials used in the modular panels increase the temperature of the water on the solar collector, thereby enhancing the evaporation process. The panels are also lightweight, enabling efficiency in production costs and transportation.
Use of the Carocell panels to purify or desalinate water means that chemicals are not required, and the technology produces zero greenhouse gas emissions.
The first commercially significant application of the Carocell panels is due to begin in South Australia, with F Cubed signing a Memorandum of Understanding in late 2010 with the District Council of Ceduna to supply drinking water to the town.
The company is also in discussions with several companies in Queensland interested in a cost–effective solution to the management of coal seam gas water.
