The ACS Technical Offering - An Overview
Aqua Clear Solutions (ACS) delivers a step change in sustainable desalination by integrating heliotropic mirrors, a central Concentrated Solar Power tower, high-efficiency photovoltaic modules, and an advanced thermal distillation chamber into a single hybrid system. Through up to 500× solar concentration, the system simultaneously generates thermal energy and electricity to power rapid seawater distillation without external energy input, enabling zero-emission operation. Its modular, scalable design supports heat recovery and by-product extraction, positioning ACS as a comprehensive, resource-efficient platform suitable for applications ranging from small communities to industrial and regional water infrastructure.
Innovation of the Future That You Cannot Ignore.
Thermal Distillation & Microplastic Removal
Heated seawater produces high-purity freshwater while calcium carbonate formation captures microplastics and other particulates, enhancing water quality beyond conventional desalination.
Solar Concentration & Dual Energy Generation
Heated seawater produces high-purity freshwater while calcium carbonate formation captures microplastics and other particulates, enhancing water quality beyond conventional desalination.
Heat Recovery & By-Product Utilisation
Up to 90% of thermal energy is recycled, and concentrated brine is processed to extract valuable by-products like hydrogen, chlorine, soda, and salt, reducing waste and creating additional revenue streams.
Process Flow – From Sunlight to Distilled Water.
What Sets Us Apart - The ACS process can be broken down into six key stages:
-
Solar Concentration: Heliotropic mirrors focus sunlight onto a central CSP tower, achieving up to 500× solar amplification for maximum energy capture.
-
Dual Energy Generation: About 20% of sunlight is converted to electricity via PV modules, with the remaining 80% used as thermal energy to heat seawater, eliminating external energy needs.
-
Thermal Distillation: Seawater is boiled in the distillation chamber, producing high-purity freshwater and handling salinity from 1–35%, far beyond conventional RO systems.
-
Microplastic Removal: Calcium carbonate formation binds microplastics and particulates into aggregates for easy removal, enhancing water quality.
-
Heat Recovery: Up to 90% of thermal energy is recycled via advanced heat exchangers, boosting efficiency and minimizing energy loss.
-
By-Product Utilisation: Concentrated brine is processed to extract hydrogen, chlorine, soda, and salt, creating revenue and reducing environmental impact.
