Gradiant Leads Sustainable Water Solutions for the Data Centers Powering AI
BOSTON--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- Gradiant, a global leader in advanced water and wastewater solutions, has been awarded two new contracts by leading technology companies to design and deploy sustainable water solutions at new data centers in the United States and Indo-Pacific. These facilities—critical to powering AI and cloud infrastructure—are increasingly located in some of the most water-stressed regions in the world. Gradiant's solutions will enable these developments to meet aggressive sustainability goals while minimizing their impact on local water resources and communities. The projects underscore Gradiant's growing role as the go-to water partner for the world's most important AI infrastructure owners and operators. As the world accelerates toward an AI-first future, data centers—the invisible engines powering cloud computing, AI, and global connectivity—are emerging as both drivers of innovation and major consumers of water. An average 100-megawatt data center in the U.S. uses as much water each day as 6,500 households. Globally, data center water use is projected to more than double by 2030, reaching 1,200 billion liters annually. Many of these new sites are being built in water-scarce regions such as the U.S. Southwest, the Middle East, and Australia—driven by proximity to energy, land, and local incentives. With growing regulatory pressure and environmental scrutiny, water strategy has become mission-critical. 'In today's climate reality, building a data center without a water strategy is not an option,' said Anurag Bajpayee, CEO of Gradiant. 'These facilities are as thirsty as they are power hungry. Our clients are asking how to eliminate wastewater, how to operate in drought-prone regions without harming local communities, and how to do it all while scaling AI infrastructure at lightning speed.' Gradiant is uniquely positioned to help data center owners and operators meet this moment. With a full-stack technology portfolio and deep expertise in complex industrial water, the company delivers complete site-wide peace of mind. Gradiant's solutions include: Water Recycling & Reuse: Zero liquid discharge (ZLD) technologies recover and reuse 99% of process water onsite—dramatically reducing the need for freshwater withdrawals and preserving local water supplies. AI Optimization (SmartOps AI): Uses real-time monitoring and AI-powered analytics to optimize water and wastewater operations, lower OPEX, and reduce unplanned downtime. CURE Chemicals: Expert formulations reduce the use of traditional treatment chemicals, lowering the overall environmental footprint while enhancing system performance and reliability. 'Only Gradiant can deliver complete site-wide peace of mind—a fully integrated and holistic solution that unites process technology, AI, and chemicals through a single trusted partner,' said Prakash Govindan, COO of Gradiant. 'Our customers no longer need to coordinate across multiple parties. With Gradiant, they gain a single, trusted partner optimizing every drop of water across their operations. This is water innovation without compromise.' Gradiant's technologies are helping data centers operate in the harshest conditions—without compromising sustainability or performance. As the digital economy accelerates, Gradiant is enabling what's possible for water in tech infrastructure. About Gradiant Gradiant is a Different Kind of Water Company. With a full suite of differentiated and proprietary end-to-end solutions for advanced water and wastewater treatment powered by the top minds in water, the company serves its clients' mission-critical operations in the world's essential industries, including semiconductors, pharmaceuticals, food & beverage, lithium and critical minerals, and renewable energy. Gradiant's innovative solutions reduce water used and wastewater discharged, reclaim valuable resources, and renew wastewater into freshwater.

Turing Secures $14 Million to Scale AI-Powered Water Management Solutions
BOSTON, February 26, 2025--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Turing, a leader in AI-driven water management solutions, today announced the successful completion of a $14 million funding round led by Safar Partners. This investment will accelerate Turing's global expansion and enhance its flagship AI-powered platforms, TOP Clear — which provides end-to-end digital solutions for the utility sector, from water and wastewater treatment to networks — and SmartOps AI, its exclusive water management platform for industrial treatment. Unlike traditional SCADA or standalone analytics tools, Turing's solutions seamlessly integrate with any water management platform, meeting customers wherever they are in their digital journey — whether for water treatment, network systems, or both. Leveraging AI-powered automation, industrial IoT (IIoT), and deep industry expertise, Turing's platforms enable real-time control and monitoring, advanced anomaly detection, predictive analytics, and intelligent decision-making. This holistic approach drives optimization across the entire water lifecycle, enhancing efficiency, reliability, and sustainability at every stage. Turing has been recognized for its groundbreaking contributions to the water industry, winning the Cleantech Group Award 25 for its digital innovation in water networks and the Breakthrough Technology Company of the Year Award from Global Water Intelligence for its advanced machine learning algorithms that drive energy and chemical savings in desalination. "Our mission is to redefine how industries and municipalities manage water resources," stated Hiep Le, CEO of Turing. "With this funding, we will scale our AI-powered platforms, accelerate global expansion, and equip our customers with the tools to reduce downtime, optimize performance, and improve sustainability. As the world's water challenges grow increasingly complex, the need for Real-time Operational Intelligence (ROI) using experimental and artificial intelligence has never been greater — and that's exactly what we're building." Nader Motamedy, Managing Partner of Safar Partners, emphasized the strategic importance of Turing's AI-driven approach, "Investing in Turing is an investment in the future of intelligent water management. Their unique combination of AI, IIoT, and deep domain expertise creates a comprehensive platform that not only identifies inefficiencies but actively optimizes water treatment and distribution. As the demand for smarter infrastructure grows, Turing is positioned to lead the industry forward." The funding will enable Turing to: Enhance AI capabilities within TOP Clear and SmartOps AI to optimize water treatment, wastewater processing, and network performance. Expand operations in key markets, including North America, Europe, and the Middle East. Accelerate R&D for next-generation predictive and autonomous water management solutions. Strengthen partnerships with utilities, industrial water users, and government agencies to pilot industry-wide adoption of AI-powered water management platforms. With aging infrastructure, rising operational costs, and growing water and labor scarcity concerns, utilities and industries face increasing pressure to modernize water systems. Turing's AI solutions empower clients to proactively minimize operational disruptions, maximize asset life, and achieve significant cost savings—all while ensuring regulatory compliance and environmental stewardship. About Turing Turing is a leading AI and IIoT solutions provider for water and wastewater management. Spun out from Gradiant, Synauta, and SpaceAge Labs, Turing delivers end-to-end digital solutions that help utilities and industries optimize performance, reduce costs, and enhance sustainability across the entire water lifecycle.
