Technology

A data center is a 20 MW desalination engine nobody has plugged in.

Almost all the power a data center draws leaves as low-grade heat. We route that heat into desalination instead of evaporative cooling towers.

How the loop works

  • Heat capture. Liquid cooling takes server heat at 35–55°C, giving the operator chiller-free, near-zero-water cooling.
  • Membrane distillation. That heat drives low-temperature membrane distillation, turning brackish groundwater into high-purity water.
  • Brine polishing. An engineered halophyte wetland reduces reject-brine volume and yields a saleable crop.
  • Mineral recovery. Selective precipitation recovers magnesium and drives toward zero-liquid-discharge.
  • Managed recharge. Water is remineralized to protect the aquifer, then injected via EPA Class V wells — generating recharge credits.

The moat: a control system, not just a process

AI compute — and therefore waste heat — is erratic, which destabilizes thermal desalination membranes. That's the exact problem that sank earlier co-location attempts.

MSH's core invention is a SCADA-driven thermal buffer: a biomass boiler, fueled by utility vegetation waste, that dynamically holds membrane feed temperature stable through compute dips — keeping the system producing water 24/7. It is the most novel, least-contested claim in our patent filing.

Honest engineering

Built to survive due diligence

Honest energy accounting

We report membrane distillation's real electrical and thermal energy separately — the thermal input is valued at ~zero only because the heat is stranded. No blended figures below physical limits.

Remineralization by design

Near-distilled water is stabilized to a neutral Langelier index before injection, protecting the aquifer and meeting drinking-water standards at the point of injection.

Cooling stays reliable

The desalination loop runs in parallel with — never ahead of — the data center's primary cooling, with full backup so the operator never depends on our loop.

The pilot's job is to return four hard numbers.

Real membrane-distillation yield at data-center heat, thermal-buffer stability through compute dips, brine mass balance, and a permitted remineralized injection — the data that unlocks the Series A.
