About Supercomputing data center WWTP

xAI is planning to build the world’s largest ceramic membrane bioreactor at the company's supercomputing data center in Memphis, Tennessee, USA. The fast-track project will enable reuse of 49.2 MLD (13.0 MGD) of municipal wastewater for cooling the company's supercomputing data center and is set for completion in 2025.

The ceramic membrane technology is being supplied by CERAFILTEC, the global ceramic ultrafiltration membrane technology.

CERAFILTEC says this MBR project highlights the growing demand for advanced ceramic solutions in mission-critical applications of wastewater treatment such as data center cooling.

The Memphis project reuses municipal wastewater for cooling, thereby conserving drinking water and protecting the Memphis Sands Aquifer for the benefit of local communities. The plant will also provide surplus treated water to local industries, thereby dramatically reducing the aquifer impact from existing users and setting a precedent for green practices in tech.
