01 / AI & Data CentersMission-critical integration
Compute grows.
Water becomes infrastructure.
Evaporative cooling and cooling towers can consume substantial water, and some facilities may rely on potable-quality supplies depending on site and cooling design. Algbio focuses on cooling-related water, reuse potential, carbon-source compatibility and safe isolation from critical systems.
Lawrence Berkeley Lab notes that data-center cooling practices can consume large amounts of water.

Water risk is
an operating risk.
Industrial facilities face variable chemistry, rising reuse expectations and water risks extending across supply chains. Algbio evaluates treatment, reuse, nutrient management and suitable carbon integration within the realities of existing process infrastructure.
