Gradiant Leads Sustainable Water Solutions for the Data Centers Powering AI
BOSTON--(BUSINESS WIRE)--May 13, 2025-- 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. This press release features multimedia. View the full release here: Gradiant is deploying sustainable water solutions for new AI-powered data centers in the U.S. and Indo-Pacific. 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: '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. The Boston-headquartered company was founded at MIT and has over 1,300 employees worldwide.

Gradiant Wins Second Semiconductor Water Treatment Project in Dresden as H+E Fully Integrates under One Brand
Gradiant, a global leader in advanced water and wastewater treatment, today announced a major contract to design and build an ultrapure water (UPW) facility for one of the world's largest semiconductor manufacturers in Dresden, Germany. This marks Gradiant's second major semiconductor water treatment project in the city, reinforcing its position as the partner of choice for mission-critical water infrastructure in the world's most advanced industries. The project will be led by Gradiant's Germany-based team, supported by its global process and project delivery experts in the United States, Taiwan, and Singapore. The new semiconductor manufacturing plant serves a key role in strengthening Europe's semiconductor supply chain to meet the region's growing demand for advanced chips. In parallel, Gradiant announced the full integration of H+E into the Gradiant brand. The transition unites H+E's century-long legacy in ultrapure and industrial water treatment with Gradiant's advanced technology portfolio, solidifying Gradiant's position as the premier provider of sustainable water solutions worldwide. Since joining Gradiant in October 2023, H+E has signed and delivered several cutting-edge plants for essential industries. By creating strategic and operational synergies, bolstering financial strength and expanding the technology portfolio, Gradiant has been the ideal foil for H+E's rapid growth. Over the past 18 months, the companies have successfully combined H+E's engineering expertise in Europe with Gradiant's differentiated solutions in water and wastewater treatment, PFAS removal and destruction, resource recovery of lithium and critical minerals, and green hydrogen production. The integration reflects Gradiant's commitment to delivering a seamless client experience while accelerating the adoption of innovative and sustainable water technologies to all corners of the world. 'Water is the lifeblood of every major industry. The transition of H+E to Gradiant is a natural step in our journey to elevate water for the world's essential industries,' said Prakash Govindan, COO of Gradiant. 'By uniting under one identity, we create greater potential to serve our customers with an unmatched portfolio of advanced technologies, end-to-end water solutions, and global expertise.' The transition will be fully completed by April 1, 2025, with all H+E operations and communications aligning under the Gradiant identity. Clients will continue to receive the same high-quality service from their trusted teams, backed more than ever, by Gradiant's global network of expertise and resources.
