ChemTreat and Veralto Tackle Water Challenges in an AI Data Center Era

New white paper reveals how sustainable cooling strategies are shaping the future of digital infrastructure

RICHMOND, Va. — December 3, 2025 — ChemTreat, a Veralto operating company and leader in industrial water treatment, today announced its contribution to the newly released Veralto white paper, “Water Sustainability in Data Centers.”

As AI adoption accelerates data center growth worldwide, the report highlights the urgent need for smarter, more sustainable water management. Developed alongside Veralto’s water quality companies – each recognized for their leadership in water analytics, treatment, and protection – the paper provides a holistic view of how energy and water systems connect in today’s high-density computing environments. It explores the key sustainability pressures facing data centers and outlines technology solutions for optimizing water use – and reuse – and reducing environmental impact.

ChemTreat’s contribution draws on extensive on-the-ground experience to offer practical insights into cooling water treatment, blowdown reuse, and point-of-entry chemical programs that help data centers improve reliability and reduce freshwater consumption. These insights are increasingly vital as the industry faces mounting environmental scrutiny and regulatory pressure to demonstrate measurable progress in sustainability.

“The future of AI depends on the future of water,” said Rob Collier, Group President, Water Treatment at Veralto and former President of ChemTreat. “That’s why ChemTreat and Veralto’s water quality companies are advancing responsible water management that supports the growth of AI while protecting the world’s most vital resource – water.”

The white paper features input from several other Veralto water quality companies: Hach, Trojan Technologies, McCrometer, and OTT HydroMet. Together, these companies represent one of the most comprehensive portfolios of advanced water analytics and treatment solutions, bringing unique technology perspectives across the entire water lifecycle, from source treatment and flow measurement to monitoring and reuse. Their innovations help reduce the environmental impact of industrial water usage, enhance efficiency, generate sustainable energy, and purify and replenish vital water sources.
