ANAHEIM, Calif., Jan. 24, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Tomorrow
Water, an environmental solutions provider has signed an agreement
to collaborate with Arcadis to evaluate and develop Co-Flow,
Tomorrow Water's patented process for sustainably co-locating data
centers with wastewater treatment plants.
Tomorrow Water and Arcadis partner to sustainably develop critical
interconnecting infrastructure elements.
Co-Flow integrates a wastewater treatment plant and a data
center on a single plot of land, linking the energy and fluid
streams of both facilities to improve sustainability and economics.
Process intensification coupled with an innovative water-cooling
concept results in compact footprints, reduced potable water use,
energy and life cycle costs while creating a highly attractive and
sustainable solution for data centers especially in water stressed
areas. The technology also enables data centers to be built on top
of the existing treatment infrastructure, further reducing the
footprint required for the new data centers.
Arcadis, a global design and consultancy firm for natural and
built assets, works with communities to design sustainable water
solutions, data centers and other critical infrastructure.
As part of the agreement, Arcadis will conduct a
technical and economic evaluation of the Co-Flow concept and
process patents. Once the evaluation is complete, Arcadis and
Tomorrow Water will develop the first Co-Flow projects in the
U.S.
"Co-locating datacenters and wastewater reclamation plants will
help reduce wastewater discharges, offset potable water demand
and offer triple-bottom-line benefits to the water-stressed
regions. We are excited to partner with Tomorrow Water to explore
how the Co-Flow process may enable co-location projects that
improve quality of life," said Ufuk
Erdal, senior vice president and water reuse director at
Arcadis.
Anthony Dusovic, COO of Tomorrow
Water notes, "This is an exciting collaboration between two
companies that are aligned by their purpose. Reimagining efficiency
models for vital infrastructure such as data centers and
wastewater treatment plants is just one way we will contribute to
safeguarding the environment for future generations. Co-Flow's
impact potential is quite high and supports the industry's need to
make datacenters more sustainable. In fact, we are in discussion
with several data center developers and owner/operators, such as
Samsung, who owns/operates 17 data centers."
Co-Flow is being developed as part of the company's "Tomorrow
Water Project", an initiative to co-locate and interconnect
infrastructure elements such as wastewater treatment, renewable
energy generation, and data center capacity, capitalizing on their
complementary energy, heat, nutrient, and water inputs and outputs
to make them more sustainable and affordable to the global
population.
