This is why at some places, data centres use sea water for cooling processes instead of tap water.

Within the data centres compound, they have sea water desalination treatment infrastructure.

Our seawater is warm and on hot days it's like taking hot shower!

The sites which they used for previous datacentres are those coastal areas such as Iceland to take advantage of the icy cold seawaters.

They have huge water tanks reserves which are either stored indoor or underground. It helps to bring down the temperature of water to room temperature.

So the process will be like this;

a. Pump seawater into those water tanks reserves.
b. Once reach suitable temp, from water tanks to desalination plant.
c. From desalination plant, goes to the DC for cooling.

Good luck to both Selangor and NS in future for their state sizes and resources, water is going to become a huge problem for their citizens if they do not plan carefully.

If a large state such as Sarawak with plenty of resources maybe it's still feasible, but these 2 states with history of water shortages/cuts.

Wish them well.

Apa recession. According to PMX, LKS, Nobita, we already bancrupt many times over. Recession? What is recession to a bancrupt nation? Hahahaha…

That’s what Singapore newater tech is all about. Not cheap . Israeli technology. Actually Spore is already self sufficient in terms of of water supply but since they can get cheaper source form Mesia, they use Mesia water. They also have Batam supply as well.

Then Panasonic factories and Intel Penang how they set up? Didn't realise that after all these years Panasonic Malaysia and Intel Penang don't use any land in Malaysia.

These two r 汉奸 n buddy? Not fake non or convert?

Using a desalination plant for data center cooling can be a sustainable and cost-effective solution, particularly in areas with limited freshwater resources. The desalination process produces clean water, which can then be used to cool the servers and electronic equipment within the data center, and it can be a part of a broader strategy to ensure water supply reliability.
Here's a more detailed look at how this works:
Data Center Heat Generation:
Data centers generate significant heat from servers and electronic devices. This heat needs to be dissipated to maintain optimal operating temperatures and prevent equipment failure.
Desalination as a Water Source:
Desalination plants convert seawater into freshwater, providing a reliable and potentially limitless source of water for data center cooling.
Cooling Systems:
The freshwater from the desalination plant can be used in various cooling systems, such as:
Chilled Water Systems: The water can be chilled and circulated through the data center, absorbing heat from servers and equipment.
Evaporative Cooling: The water can be used in evaporative cooling systems, where the evaporation process absorbs heat and reduces the temperature.
Water Reuse and Conservation:
The heated water from the cooling systems can be reused in other parts of the data center or other facilities, further enhancing efficiency.
Sustainability Benefits:
Using a desalination plant for data center cooling can help reduce reliance on municipal water supplies, promote water conservation, and reduce the environmental impact of the data center.
Cost-Effectiveness:
The initial investment in a desalination plant may be significant, but the long-term costs of using desalinated water for cooling can be lower than relying on traditional cooling methods, especially in areas with high water demand and rising water costs.
Benefits of Using a Desalination Plant for Data Center Cooling:
Reliable Water Source:
Provides a consistent and reliable supply of water, even during droughts or periods of high demand.
Reduced Water Consumption:
Can help reduce the overall water footprint of the data center, promoting water conservation and sustainability.
Cost-Effective:
Can be a more cost-effective solution than relying on municipal water supplies in areas with high water costs.
Environmental Benefits:
Reduces the strain on local water resources and promotes water reuse and conservation.
Examples of Data Centers Using Desalinated Water:
Microsoft's Underwater Data Center: Microsoft's experimental underwater data center uses seawater for cooling.
Amazon Web Services (AWS): AWS is using reclaimed wastewater for cooling at 20 data center locations.
