The global data center market is growing rapidly, driven by increasing cloud adoption, AI applications, and data localization requirements. The market is projected to grow at a CAGR of 9.3% from 2023 to 2032, with hyperscale and colocation data centers fueling this expansion. This surge intensifies demand for sustainable cooling technologies to manage rising energy and water consumptions.

The rapid expansion of the data center industry presents growing environmental and operational challenges. Energy and water use are increasingly critical factors in how national and local authorities assess both existing facilities and new developments.

This whitepaper highlights how traditional mitigation methods for cooling tower, like blowdown and chemical dosing, have significant drawbacks and proposes an EO-CT electrooxidation technology as a sustainable alternative.
