Data Centres & Cooling Water

Reliable heat rejection depends on clean heat-transfer surfaces, stable water chemistry and well-managed cooling loops.

Understanding the application

Water Conditions Affect the Complete Operation

Puroxi does not begin with a product. We begin by understanding where the water comes from, how it moves through the site, what it contacts, what has already been tried and what the operation needs the water to do.

01

Heat-rejection reliability and uptime

This condition is evaluated in relation to the source water, system design, operating load and the required outcome.

02

Scale on heat-transfer surfaces

This condition is evaluated in relation to the source water, system design, operating load and the required outcome.

03

Biofilm, microbiology and corrosion

This condition is evaluated in relation to the source water, system design, operating load and the required outcome.

04

Water use, blowdown and reuse objectives

This condition is evaluated in relation to the source water, system design, operating load and the required outcome.

How Puroxi approaches the water

A Site-Specific Treatment Pathway

01

Integrate with the formal cooling-water programme

Treatment selection follows water testing, hydraulic review, material compatibility and the customer’s verification requirements.

02

Evaluate scale prevention, filtration and side-stream treatment

Treatment selection follows water testing, hydraulic review, material compatibility and the customer’s verification requirements.

03

Improve basin circulation or oxygen transfer where appropriate

Treatment selection follows water testing, hydraulic review, material compatibility and the customer’s verification requirements.

04

Track water and energy performance against baseline

Treatment selection follows water testing, hydraulic review, material compatibility and the customer’s verification requirements.

Information required

What Puroxi Needs Before Recommending Equipment

Good design depends on accurate site information. Reports, photographs, drawings and operating history help prevent assumptions.

  1. Cooling design, load and redundancy
  2. Makeup-water chemistry and cycles of concentration
  3. Basin, piping, filtration and chemical programme
  4. Temperatures, approach, conductivity and blowdown
Water testing

Relevant parameters may include temperature, pH, dissolved oxygen, salinity, conductivity, turbidity, hardness, alkalinity, nutrients, organics, metals, microbial information and algae identification, together with the process-specific information required for this industry.

Monitoring and verification

Measure the Water and the Operating Result

01

Supply, return and approach temperatures

Record the baseline, treatment settings, operating changes and follow-up results so performance can be evaluated responsibly.

02

Conductivity, makeup and blowdown

Record the baseline, treatment settings, operating changes and follow-up results so performance can be evaluated responsibly.

03

Scale, corrosion and microbiology

Record the baseline, treatment settings, operating changes and follow-up results so performance can be evaluated responsibly.

04

Energy, water use and maintenance

Record the baseline, treatment settings, operating changes and follow-up results so performance can be evaluated responsibly.

The Puroxi process

Test. Design. Treat. Verify.

  1. Characterize the source and the operating problem.
  2. Define the objective, limitations and applicable requirements.
  3. Design the hydraulic, gas, treatment and monitoring arrangement.
  4. Commission, document, evaluate and refine the programme.
