Water treatment company Gradiant claims to have deployed its closed-loop cooling system across several large-scale hyperscale data centers.

The company said its HyperSolved system is up and running at the data centers. It is designed to manage the full cooling water lifecycle, from sourcing through to discharge, under a single platform.

The company said the product addresses a fragmentation problem in how data centers currently handle water, where operators typically manage multiple vendors and disconnected systems across the water supply chain.

In addition, Gradiant claims that the platform supports the use of alternative water sources, including municipal reuse supplies, which it says reduce reliance on freshwater and expand site flexibility in constrained markets. It also incorporates treatment systems, chemical management, and AI-based operations tooling, and is built around containerized deployment to support faster build timelines.

Prakash Govindan, CEO of Gradiant, said: "Water is one of the least integrated and most fragmented layers of data center infrastructure. We are in the middle of a once-in-a-generation build-out of AI infrastructure, comparable in scale to historic expansions like the railroads in the 1800s, which connected regions and transformed entire economies. That level of growth demands a new approach. Today, water is still managed through a patchwork of vendors and solutions that were never designed for hyperscale. HyperSolved changes that by treating water as critical infrastructure, designed, delivered, and operated as one integrated system."

Sankar Natarajan, head of special projects at Gradiant, added: "You run the data center. We manage the water layer. By integrating water into a single system, it performs with the same reliability and accountability as power or cooling. HyperSolved gives operators a clear path to scale with less risk and fewer constraints."

Gradiant expects data centers to account for around 25 percent of its global business by 2027. HyperSolved is available across North America, Europe, the Middle East, and Asia.

In April, the firm reported that it had been awarded a contract to design and deliver a water treatment facility for a planned hyperscale data center in Didcot, South Oxfordshire, UK, located on the site of a former coal power station.
