LED-Sensible-Heat Low-Power Dehumidification
Sensible heat generated by cultivation LEDs is used for post-dehumidification reheat, helping reduce auxiliary reheat demand and low-temperature dehumidification energy.
Strawberry Vertical Farm–Based EcoTech Company
Reduce energy. Recover water.
Turn waste heat and CO₂ into productive resources.
Using LED-sensible-heat-assisted low-power dehumidification, we create a 15°C / 50% RH target climate for premium strawberry production. Low-TDS condensate generated during dehumidification is recovered and reused, while recovered water is used to precool outdoor-unit intake air and help reduce cooling power consumption. We also connect waste heat and CO₂ from power plants, data centers, biogas facilities, and industrial sites with premium strawberry production, creating circular EcoTech models that help reduce infrastructure and operating costs.

Five circular technologies
for premium strawberry production
We connect precision climate control, low-temperature dehumidification, condensate recovery, outdoor-unit precooling, and waste heat and CO₂ utilization in one operating system.
02
15°C / 50% RH Precision Growing Climate
Temperature and humidity are controlled together to provide the low-temperature, low-humidity conditions and stable VPD required for premium strawberry production.
03
Low-TDS Condensate Recovery and Reuse
Low-TDS condensate generated through plant transpiration and low-temperature dehumidification is recovered for irrigation and non-potable utility applications.
04
Recovered-Water Outdoor-Unit Precooling
The evaporative cooling effect of recovered water lowers outdoor-unit intake-air temperature, helping reduce condensing load and compressor power consumption.
05
Waste Heat and CO₂ Utilization
Waste heat and appropriately treated and controlled CO₂ from data centers, power plants, biogas facilities, fermentation plants, and industrial sites are converted into productive resources for premium strawberry cultivation.
Positioning
Proven through strawberry vertical farming, expanded across agriculture, food, and industry.
AlphaFarm is the platform through which CESeL Primus validates and commercializes its EcoTech. Proven climate, energy, and water-circularity technologies are extended through AlphaCooling, AlphaEnergy, and AlphaEngineering, while high-density racks and DSRP connect them to year-round productivity and revenue.

ALPHAFARM PRODUCTION TECHNOLOGY
Turning EcoTech conditions
into continuous year-round production and revenue.
AlphaFarm goes beyond energy and water efficiency. It combines high-density precision cultivation racks with a continuous flowering-seedling supply system to improve space productivity, crop uniformity, and production continuity.
High-Density Precision Cultivation Rack Technology
Our high-density vertical multi-layer racks integrate:
Precision irrigation based on crop and growth stage
Adjustable lighting by growth stage
Internal air-distribution ducts
Uniform airflow and climate across cultivation layers
Slit-type pot trays designed for root-zone and drainage management
Integrated irrigation, drainage, lighting, and airflow
This increases cultivation density while maintaining more uniform lighting, irrigation, root-zone conditions, and airflow across the cultivation layers.
DSRP Year-Round Continuous Production Technology
DSRP, the Dynamic Seedling Reserved Protocol, is AlphaFarm's year-round production protocol based on continuous flowering-seedling preparation in multi-layer nursery racks and quarterly rotational plant replacement.
Instead of removing and replanting the entire crop at once, prepared flowering seedlings are introduced progressively on a quarterly basis.
This reduces productivity decline caused by plant aging and supports continuous year-round production without the extended downtime associated with full crop replacement.
Core Components of DSRP
Flowering-seedling cultivation in multi-layer nursery racks
Simultaneous operation of production plants and replacement seedlings
Quarterly rotational plant replacement
Prevention of extended full-room replacement downtime
More stable year-round production and quality
ECOTECH BUSINESS MODELS

AlphaCore
A modular vertical-farm production unit for premium strawberries
Core-1 targets roughly 10–12 tons of premium strawberries a year from a ~165 ㎡ cultivation room and scales step by step by repeatedly adding units such as Core-2 and Core-3. The large-scale Core-20 links with data centers and SOFC (solid oxide fuel cell) on-site power systems, converting waste heat, CO₂, and power into productive resources for premium strawberry farming. AlphaCore is not simply a cultivation rack — it is an integrated modular vertical-farm system combining high-density cultivation, year-round production, low-temperature dehumidification, energy efficiency, water production, and data-center linkage.

Smart Food Infrastructure Engineering
Engineering that turns EcoTech into practical operating systems
Designed and configured for each site, then delivered as a fully operational system.
AlphaEngineering designs and configures smart systems for crop cultivation facilities and food-industry sites, connecting equipment supply, installation, integration, and commissioning into practical engineering solutions.
Its application is not limited to vertical farms. AlphaEngineering can be applied to crop cultivation facilities, nurseries, food storage rooms, food workspaces, packing rooms, cold-storage facilities, and other food-industry infrastructure requiring the management of temperature, humidity, nutrients, irrigation, ventilation, power, and operational data.
We first review the site conditions and operating requirements, then design and configure cultivation racks, nutrient dosing systems, environmental controllers, nutrient and irrigation piping, and cooling, dehumidification, and ventilation systems. Depending on customer requirements, we also provide equipment supply, fabrication, installation, control integration, and commissioning to complete a practical operating system.
Each area can be delivered as part of an integrated system or as an item-specific engineering service.
