4 ways AWS is innovating on water sustainability in Singapore
Hydroleap developed a unique electrooxidation technology which was customised to improve the efficiency of AWS cooling towers, helping us meet our water efficiency goals.
"This ongoing collaboration between Hydroleap and AWS, which started nearly two years ago, has helped us to improve and fine-tune our patented electrooxidation technology to be an effective tool for meeting AWS’s water efficiency goals,” said Mohammed Sherafatmand (PhD), founder and chief executive officer of Hydroleap.
“Now, with the available data from the existing projects, we can unleash the potential impact we can make together across the Asia-Pacific region and even globally."
In Singapore, all AWS data centres are running on recycled NEWater. To further improve water efficiency, AWS uses real-time water-use data to identify leaks, pilot new treatment technologies, and explore a range of operational changes. AWS has also leveraged rainwater harvesting to take advantage of Singapore’s high rainfall to supplement our water needs.
AWS' numerous water sustainability efforts in Singapore have been recognised by the PUB. On 26 March 2024, AWS was awarded the authority’s Singapore Watermark Award and the Water Efficiency Award in the data centre category. Hydroleap's HL-EO system had been a significant factor in this achievement.
