Data Centre Cooling
HydraCool™
Sustainable water reuse for data centre cooling.
The rapid expansion of data centres to support global digital infrastructure has led to a significant rise in water consumption.
BUILT FOR DATA CENTRE COOLING
Traditional cooling systems often rely heavily on freshwater, which creates a sustainability challenge—especially in regions prone to water scarcity, such as Australia. SciDev has developed HydraCool™ – an integrated water treatment, reuse, and recycling system purpose-built for data centre cooling. It combines alternative water sourcing and specialised water treatment processes to recycle and reuse water, reducing environmental impact and dependence on potable supplies.
HydraCool™ incorporates SciDev’s world‑leading PFAS ion‑exchange technology, FluorofIX®, delivering regulatory confidence alongside environmental performance.
ALTERNATE WATER SOURCE SOLUTIONS
Our water sourcing solutions are designed to reduce reliance on potable water, strengthen water security, and support sustainable site operations. Through the HydraCool™ range, we enable the sourcing, treatment, and reuse of alternative water sources to meet site specific operational needs.

Flexible Construction and Deployment
We build HydraCool™ systems to suit programme, footprint, and site constraints.
Modular construction are preferred for rapid
deployment, or prefabricated skids and stick built methods are used if a traditional approach is best for site. This flexibility supports phased expansion and minimises operational disruption.
Operations and Maintenance
Our specialist technical team delivers end to end operations and maintenance support for
HydraCool™ systems, including asset management, system optimisation, and remote monitoring.
Through proactive performance management and data driven insights, we ensure reliable, efficient water production while ensuring system reliability, performance, and long term asset value.
