Recycled Newater To Cool Its New Data Center in Singapore.

Web hosting provider Equinix (www.equinix.com) will use recycled Newater to cool its new data center in Singapore.

Equinix announced in July 2010 that it is expanding its SG2 data center, making it the company's third phase expansion within the facility.

"Apart from using chilled water to cool the DC itself, we will be using energy-saving blue LED lights all across the DC, as well as motion sensors to control the lighting automatically," says Clement Goh, managing director of Equinix Singapore. "The National Environment Agency has agreed to supply us Newater, perhaps the first instance of Newater being used to cool a DC."
