Chemstar WATER has developed water treatment solutions for hyperscale data centers in West Texas, utilizing treated produced water to reduce reliance on municipal supplies.
Turning Wastewater into a Cooling Solution
Chemstar WATER, a leader in industrial water treatment, is bringing new ideas to data center cooling in West Texas. The company is using advanced technology to clean “produced water,” which is salty water left over from oil drilling. Instead of putting this water back underground, which can cause earthquakes and face strict rules, Chemstar treats it so it can be reused. This treated water is then used in cooling towers for data centers, helping them run more efficiently and with less impact on the environment.
Why Water Treatment Matters for Data Centers
Data centers need a lot of water to keep their computers cool. If the water isn’t treated properly, it can cause damage like rust, scaling, or bacteria growth. Chemstar WATER creates special treatment plans to make sure the water stays clean and safe for cooling. Using treated produced water has many benefits: it saves fresh water, helps oil companies avoid waste problems, and cuts costs. It also helps data centers stay reliable and avoid downtime by keeping their cooling systems in top shape.
West Texas: A Perfect Spot for Growth
West Texas is becoming a great place for building large data centers. It has cheap land, lots of unused natural gas for power, and plenty of produced water that can be treated for cooling. The area also has fewer rules and faster approval processes, which helps projects move quickly. This setup benefits everyone—data centers get power and water, oil companies turn waste into value, and local communities gain jobs and cleaner operations. Read More
