Data center water treatment is a critical issue for both sustainability and cost control. The large banks of heat-sensitive equipment in these facilities must be constantly kept cool to operate efficiently and avoid premature equipment failure. One of the most important factors in cooling system efficiency is to maintain the quality of the cooling water to appropriate standards. The presence of minerals, soil and organic matter in cooling water interferes with the proper operation of cooling equipment — and can lead to efficiency loss, equipment damage and unscheduled downtime.
