L-DCS Technology Pte Ltd was established in January 2002, shortly after it's founders had been approached by JTC (Jurong Town Corporation) to build a reference plant in Singapore to prove the feasibility of Liquid Desiccant Cooling Systems powered by low temperature heat (waste heat) under tropical conditions. One year later Government funds from TEC (The Enterprise Challenge) were approved and the project went ahead. In the meantime further research and development had been carried out. While the reference plant is now near completion, the manufacturing facilities in Germany are continuously upgraded to meet the growing demand.

L-DCS Technology Pte Ltd was profitable from the first year of operation, which was partially due to some consulting work which was carried out for several clients. Although our main business is the design, manufacturing, installation and operation of our own Liquid Desiccant Cooling Systems, we gladly involve ourselves occasionally in independent consulting work, as long as it helps our clients to operate more efficiently.
