Data Center Water Management
As data centers continue to expand in water-stressed regions and face limited capacity at public treatment works (POTWs), the need for onsite water reuse has never been greater. Dynatec’s membrane treatment systems provide a reliable, high-efficiency path to sustainable water reuse. Our systems reduce consumption, mitigate risk, and support sustainability initiatives.
Challenges Addressed
- Water Scarcity – Increasing water use restrictions in arid regions
- Limited POTW Capacity – In some areas, municipal treatment plants don’t have the ability to accept the high volumes of wastewater produced at data centers
- Corporate Sustainability Mandates – Rising pressure to meet water reduction targets, achieve LEED or Green Grid benchmarks, and align with global ESG goals
- Water Mining Opportunities – Capture and treat alternative water sources to offset potable use
Dynatec Membrane Technologies for Water Reuse
Our systems treat and reclaim wastewater. The high-quality water produced is suitable for reuse, including cooling applications.
System Technologies
- Ultrafiltration (UF) Removes suspended solids, organics, and microorganisms to protect downstream systems.
- Reverse Osmosis (RO) Reduces total dissolved solids (TDS) and chlorides. Produces high-purity water ideal for cooling tower reuse.
- Ultra-High Pressure RO (UHPRO) Concentrates RO reject up to 1,800 psi, enabling high recovery and reduced brine volumes—ideal for ZLD or minimal liquid discharge (MLD) strategies.
- Membrane Bioreactor (MBR) Combines biological treatment and ultrafiltration for compact, robust treatment. Can be used for on-site sanitary wastewater and for water mining in regions facing water scarcity.
Key Benefits for Data Centers
- Significantly Reduce Freshwater Intake Meet or exceed corporate water intensity targets (gallons/MWh).
- Minimize or Eliminate Discharge to POTWs Achieve ZLD or MLD goals. Reduce dependency on local infrastructure.
- Support Sustainability Initiatives Contribute to efforts to achieve LEED, Green Grid, and ESG Metrics.
- Compact, Modular Systems Saves on space and cost. Ideal for retrofits.
- High Reliability for Critical Operations Automated controls, robust materials, maximum uptime and proven designs.
