Turning Sewage into Supercomputing
The challenge
AI's water crisis: xAI's Memphis facility requires 50 million litres of drinking water daily for cooling. In water-scarce regions, this forces a choice between innovation and conservation.
The solution
Cerafiltec built the world's largest ceramic membrane bioreactor, converting municipal wastewater into cooling water ensuring uninterrupted cooling supply. Providing mission-critical reliability was the key-benefit compared to alternative systems.
