A large data center in Illinois was searching for a way to improve water efficiency and reduce hazardous chemical consumption while lowering operating costs.
Earthwise's Certified Water Technologists (CWT) surveyed the data center and looked for ways to improve water efficiency, extend equipment life, reduce chemical consumption and provide remote system performance monitoring with the goal of reducing the water footprint, minimizing risk and cutting operating expenses.
An Humidification Pretreatment Program and a Condenser Water System were installed. The Humidification Pretreatment Program incorporated a reverse osmosis (RO) system that increases heat transfer efficiencies. The Condenser Water System utilizes ion-exchange technology. It also features a 24-hour remote monitoring system to ensure real-time reaction to system performance changes.
Large Data Center In Illinois Reduces Water Usage by 5 Million Gallons a Year
- 5 million gallon reduction in water usage annually
- $25,000 reduction in treatment chemicals
- $6,000 reduction in maintenance time
- $91,000 in annual water savings
- Reduced hazardous chemical consumption by 50%
