Ecolab Inc, a global leader in sustainability solutions, has introduced its 3D TRASAR Technology for Direct-to-Chip Liquid Cooling in Southeast Asia, with Singapore as the launch site. This innovation, unveiled at Data Centre World Asia 2025, is designed to improve the cooling efficiency of high-performance computing systems and data centres by monitoring coolant health indicators like temperature, pH, and flow rates in real time.
The technology is part of Ecolab’s comprehensive cooling management portfolio, which aims to optimise Water Use Efficiency (WUE) and Power Usage Effectiveness (PUE), aligning with Singapore’s Green Plan 2030 and Smart Nation initiatives. Gregory Lukasik, CEO and Senior Vice President of Ecolab Southeast Asia, highlighted the importance of building systems that reuse water and energy at scale, especially as artificial intelligence (AI) drives unprecedented growth in data demand.
Asia Pacific, accounting for over 40% of new global data centre capacity, is experiencing rapid growth, with demand expected to double by 2030. In Singapore, data centres already consume 7% of national electricity, with cooling accounting for up to 40% of this usage. Ecolab’s new solution aims to address these challenges by enhancing operational efficiency and sustainability.
Ecolab has been present in Singapore since the 1970s, supporting various industries through its expertise in water and process management. The company is also collaborating with the Institute of Technical Education to develop future-ready talent for the data centre industry. Kelly Lai, Vice President for Materials and Chemicals at the Economic Development Board of Singapore, praised Ecolab’s role in driving sustainable growth through AI-enabled and resource-efficient solutions.
