Treatment Options for Data Centers

Data centers are the powerhouses driving modern business technology, with cooling efficiency at the heart of their performance. Advanced cooling systems, from chilled water air handlers to emerging liquid cooling technologies, are critical for maintaining optimal operating conditions. Garratt-Callahan’s expertise in industrial water treatment and data center cooling has made us a trusted partner for leading U.S. technology companies. Our solutions support all data center designs and types, from enterprise centers to hyperscale facilities, helping to maximize energy efficiency and equipment longevity. Garratt-Callahan’s specialized knowledge ensures our clients stay at the forefront of cooling innovation.

From The Industrial To The Digital Revolution

For over a century, Garratt-Callahan has led the way in water treatment, evolving from the steam-powered industrial revolution to today’s digital age. Our mission-critical cooling solutions protect vital equipment by preventing scale, microbiological growth, and corrosion while optimizing water use. We also help clients balance energy costs to support their sustainability goals. 

Solving Data Center Cooling Challenges

Efficient cooling and temperature control are critical challenges for data centers. Shifting demands on processors and servers increase water and power consumption, risking equipment viability during heavy demand periods. Here are some common problems we help solve:

  • Enhancing Water-Use Efficiency (WUE): Evaluate and optimize systems using Key Performance Indicators (KPIs).
  • Reducing Energy Costs: Improve efficiency measured by Power Usage Effectiveness (PUE).
  • Inventory Tracking & Delivery Scheduling: Manage supplies to prevent shortages and overstocking.
  • Prolonging Equipment Life: Implement strategies to extend the lifespan of your equipment.
  • 24/7 Remote Monitoring: Utilize a digital dashboard to oversee multiple facilities simultaneously.
  • Preventing Downtime: Address potential issues proactively to avoid disruptions.
  • Water Safety Programs: Develop or update programs to mitigate risks from Legionella and other pathogens.
  • Effective Communication: Ensure operations personnel are informed of issues or changes through on-site service. We strive to be your partner through teamwork to overcome challenges and achieve success. 

Scalable Solutions

G-C data center cooling water treatment programs are scalable. Whether your data center is small, large, or something in between, our data center water treatment strategies focus on these core areas:

  1. Chemical Water Treatment
    Effective treatment prevents corrosion, scaling, and microbiological growth in data center water systems. Pretreatment optimizes water usage in reverse osmosis, softeners and filtrations, pH feed systems, as well as AROSTM industrial wastewater reclamation for reuse. 
  2. Cooling Tower Performance
    Solutions are designed to minimize downtime and improve the energy efficiency of cooling tower operations.
  3. Customized Data Center Solutions
    Water treatment programs are tailored to each data center’s unique requirements and challenges. We consider local water quality, discharge limitations, as well as system design and metallurgy.
  4. Legionella Control
    We control and prevent Legionella bacteria, ensuring compliance with industry regulations. From testing to treatment, we have solutions to mitigate your Legionella risk. 
  5. Adiabatic Water Treatment
    Advanced water treatment programs are specifically designed for adiabatic cooling systems. We support client goals to maximize cooling systems’ energy efficiency while minimizing operational costs. We extend the lifecycle of adiabatic media by customizing solutions to prevent scaling, fouling, and microbiological growth, all meeting stringent industry standards.
  6. Water Analysis & Testing
    Our field representatives perform complete water analyses and provide comprehensive reports. Our state-of-the-art ELAP lab provides additional water analyses, corrosion studies, and deposit analyses. 
  7. Monitoring & Maintenance
    We utilize advanced monitoring and analytics to track system performance. Proactive adjustments prevent potential issues. Our maintenance programs prevent unnecessary downtime while ensuring equipment longevity.  We provide complete hands-off service for all chemical requirements including ordering, handling deliveries, and inventory control.
  8. Emergency Response
    Our rapid response teams are available 24/7 to address your water-related emergencies. 
  9. Consultative Services
    G-C provides a comprehensive approach to industrial water treatment, from assessment with analyses, to implementation and monitoring. Whether you need a technical consultation, onsite training, or certified lab testing, our water treatment experts can solve your data center water treatment challenges. 

Sustainably Green & Effective

Our “greener” products, like G-C’s SolidTracⓇ, use solid-concentrate chemical formulations that are easily applied on-site with a unique dissolving system. These solid concentrate solutions mean there’s less to transport and store, thus reducing your carbon footprint. Our hands-free ChemFeed system is safer for personnel to administer. Our LumiTracⓇ system combines treatment knowledge and technology to ensure continuous monitoring, reliable treatment, and easy-to-access reporting.
