As most industry professionals are now aware, data centers require massive amounts of water for both power generation and server cooling.

The proper treatment of this water is critical. Depending on facility design and scale, data centers often require systems for filtration, softening, reverse osmosis, deionization (via DI media or EDI), ultrafiltration and/or membrane bioreactors. These equipment packages frequently represent investments ranging from hundreds of thousands to millions of dollars.

Water Control Corporation (WCC) offers a comprehensive range of water treatment technologies for data center projects of every scope and size. Combined with its Concept to Commissioning process, which provides a white-glove experience for specifiers, contractors and end users, WCC delivers the expertise and resources needed to support even the largest projects. The company currently services some of the world's largest data centers and maintains the capacity to support additional facilities.

To assist its specifier partners, WCC has launched a new continuing education seminar, "Water Treatment for Data Centers." This one-hour ASPE-accredited presentation covers the fundamentals of electrical power generation, including gas turbine, fuel cell and nuclear plants, as well as server cooling methods such as traditional HVAC, direct-to-chip and immersion cooling. Throughout the presentation, attendees learn where water is required within these systems and which pretreatment methods may be necessary. The seminar also includes a refresher on the various water treatment technologies used in data centers and how they operate.

WCC is available to deliver these presentations both in person and virtually through Microsoft Teams. The company is also available to present during local ASPE chapter technical sessions throughout the 2026–2027 season.

To schedule a presentation, interested parties are encouraged to contact their local WCC representative. Those who are unsure of their representative may use the company's Representative Locator or contact Andy Paulsen at [email protected].
