AMSTERDAM and LUXEMBOURG, July 24,
2024 /PRNewswire/ -- The Dutch Data Center
Association (DDA) and H2oVortex proudly present their latest
whitepaper,
https://www.dutchdatacenters.nl/nieuws/dda-en-pathema-publiceren-whitepaper-watergebruik-in-datacenters/ highlighting
groundbreaking advancements in sustainable water usage for data
centers. As global digital infrastructure continues to expand, data
centers are increasingly crucial, operating 24/7 to power our
digital society. However, the energy-intensive nature of cooling
systems poses significant environmental challenges, particularly
concerning water and energy consumption.
Balancing Act of Water and Energy:
Data centers traditionally use large quantities of water for
cooling, which can significantly reduce their overall power
consumption. However, this reliance on water, especially during hot
summer months, necessitates a transition towards more sustainable
practices .
H2oVortex's Circular Cooling Solution:
The whitepaper introduces a revolutionary approach by H2oVortex,
which reduces the water footprint of data centers by up to 40% and
cuts water consumption by up to 95%. This solution employs
chemical-free, circular cooling water treatment through three key
steps: pre-filtration, treatment, and recovery and reuse
.
Alternative Water Sources:
To further enhance sustainability, data centers are encouraged
to use non-potable water sources such as surface water, rainwater,
and wastewater. Techniques like Activated Filter Media (AFM) and
Membrane Prefiltration (MPF) ensure these sources are viable for
cooling purposes, significantly reducing the dependency on drinking
water .
Industry Impact and Future Prospects:
The Dutch data center industry, already recognized for its
efficiency, is set to lead global standards with these innovations.
By integrating such sustainable practices, data centers can
mitigate water stress and contribute positively to local
ecosystems .
"Engaging with stakeholders early, adapting systems used in
other industries, and ensuring continuous monitoring and
maintenance are essential to maintaining water-efficient
operations. These combined efforts can help data centers not only
avoid contributing to water stress but also become part of the
solution", says Stijn Grove,
Managing Director of Dutch Data Center Association.
Mark Boeren, CTO of H2ovortex,
added, "Our technology not only conserves water but also
enhances operational efficiency, proving that environmental
responsibility and business success can go hand in hand."
