DABCE
DABCE provides modular, off-grid water treatment systems that produce safe drinking water from natural freshwater sources without membranes or routine chemical dosing. The OWTS™ platform ranges from portable hand-carried units to containerized systems producing up to 1,500 L/h, operating on as little as 0.5 Wh/L with solar, battery, or generator power. The company also offers DABCE Cloud, a free public platform with engineering tools for water treatment sizing and aquaculture design.

Problem
Many communities, industrial sites, and emergency response operations lack access to reliable water treatment infrastructure, particularly in remote or off-grid locations where conventional solutions are impractical. Existing water treatment systems often depend on large-scale infrastructure, high energy consumption, membranes, routine chemical dosing, or complex servicing that limits deployment in challenging environments.
Solution
DABCE provides modular, decentralized water treatment solutions and digital engineering tools designed for reliable operation where conventional infrastructure is unavailable. The OWTS™ (Off-Grid Water Treatment System) platform combines biological filtration with DABCE's proprietary Advanced Sterilisation & Treatment™ technology to produce safe drinking water from natural freshwater sources such as rivers, lakes, streams, and wells. These systems operate without membranes, require no routine chemical dosing, and run on low energy—typically 0.5 Wh/L—compatible with solar, battery, generator, or grid power. The product family ranges from portable hand-carried units to containerized systems producing up to 1,500 L/h for communities and industrial sites, all designed for operation by non-specialist personnel.
Target Audience
Primary customers include remote communities, rural properties, emergency response and defense organizations, industrial operators (mining, construction), and aquaculture project developers. The platform also serves engineers, water utilities, researchers, and municipal or NGO teams seeking decentralized water treatment solutions.
