Water technology company Hydroleap has joined forces with IX Technology (IXT), a leading provider of mechanical and electrical (M&E) infrastructure solutions for data centers. The collaboration aims to revolutionize water management within cooling towers, allowing the data center industry to reduce water and chemical usage, lower their carbon footprint, and enhance regulatory compliance.
Singapore, excluding mainland China, has become the largest data center market in the Asia-Pacific region for a single city. As the market continues to grow, environmental challenges, especially concerning water usage, have emerged. Large data facilities can consume between one million and five million gallons of water per day, equivalent to the water usage of a town with 10,000 to 50,000 inhabitants. The partnership between Hydroleap and IXT seeks to address these challenges.
Hydroleap’s patented Electro-Oxidation Technology offers an innovative solution to improve water management in cooling towers. The technology not only recycles cooling tower water more sustainably but also provides significant environmental benefits. By leveraging this technology, the collaboration aims to empower data center businesses to enhance their sustainability in water usage.
Dr. Mohammad Sherafatmand, Founder and CEO of Hydroleap, expressed excitement about supporting data center companies through sustainable electrochemical solutions. Steven Lee, Founder and Managing Director of IXT, sees the partnership as a significant milestone in building more sustainable data center facilities, aiming to establish a new standard for water treatment and carbon reduction within the industry.
Hydroleap specializes in transforming industrial wastewater treatment across various sectors, including data centers, food and beverage, and palm oil. Their electrochemical system can reduce up to 95% of pollutants in industrial wastewater and decrease water discharges by 70% in cooling towers.
IXT focuses on providing M&E infrastructure solutions for data centers, ensuring business continuity and operational uptime. The company offers end-to-end services, including design, construction, preventative maintenance, and 24×7 technical support for data centers, corporate server rooms, and offices.
The partnership between Hydroleap and IXT reflects a commitment to addressing environmental challenges in the data center industry, particularly in water management, and fostering sustainability through innovative technologies.
