Leveraging synergistic qualities of wastewater treatment and data centers for secure access to water supplies.
Leverage synergistic qualities and have secure access to water supplies
At the core of the innovation is Tomorrow Water’s patent-pending concept of exchanging and reusing wastewater and heat between WRRFs and on-site data centers. As data centers undergo air-cooling, hot air is diverted into the biological treatment and/or sludge drying systems of the WRRF. Further, the cold water treated by the WRRF is used to cool the air feeding the data center. Once this water is warmed via heat exchange at the data center, it is fed back to the WRRF where it warms the biological reactors.
-
Redirect heated process water from data center operations into wastewater treatment where heat is required for symbiotic heat exchange for energy savings.
-
Incorporating data centers alongside wastewater treatment facilities can overcome traditional hurdles by leveraging biogas energy and cooling water between adjacent treatment facilities.
-
Integrated management of sludge & organic waste to prevent GHG emissions & landfill waste, while producing renewable energy.
