Ecolab unveils first-in-market direct-to-chip cooling monitoring service in Southeast Asia

Ecolab, a global sustainability solutions provider for water, hygiene, and infection prevention, launched its 3D TRASAR technology for direct-to-chip liquid cooling in Southeast Asia at Data Center World Asia 2025. 

Monitoring with 3D TRASAR for Direct-to-Chip Liquid Cooling supports early detection of issues that can compromise the performance and asset life of high performance computing (HPC) servers and related cooling systems. The solution can help to protect data centre servers by monitoring coolant health indicators in real time, including temperature, pH levels, and flow rates, for instance.

According to Ecolab, real-time fluid analytics can help with:

- Risk mitigation: users can catch coolant issues early, supporting optimised asset life and helping to minimise unplanned downtime related to chip cooling. 

Issues can include:

Degradation. Continuous operation at high temperatures can cause coolants like glycol to degrade. Degradation byproducts are a known nutrient source for microbiological growth, which can impede heat rejection and clog filters and cold plates, Ecolab explained. Glycol degradation can also contribute to corrosion risk.

Contamination. Operational activities like server change-outs can dilute and contaminate the coolant. Contamination can lead to reduced thermal conductivity; it can also compromise cooling efficiency and increase the risk of overheating. 

Fluid loss. In some circumstances, coolant loss may lead to IT equipment damage and costly downtime.  Early detection of coolant leaks in the system helps prevent fluid loss. 

Ecolab also provides:

- Efficient troubleshooting: expert support that helps optimise data centre staff and budget resources

- Fouling and corrosion risk management: analytical test results can be obtained in as little as five days 

The Asia Pacific region is one of the fastest-growing data centre hubs in the world, already accounting for more than 40% of new global capacity. With demand expected to double by 2030, driven by AI, cloud, and high-performance computing (HPC), electricity consumption is also projected to surge, Ecolab said.

In Singapore, data centres already account for 7% of national electricity use, with cooling alone consuming up to 40%. 

“Data centres are critical to powering our digital future, and their importance will only grow as AI accelerates. AI will unleash growth like we’ve never seen before —but only if we build systems that reuse water and energy at scale. This launch is part of Ecolab’s comprehensive cooling management portfolio, which delivers a full site-to chip strategy. 

"This reflects Ecolab’s leadership in helping the data centre industry improve performance, build resilience, and achieve sustainability goals. Designed to maximise uptime and real-time performance, Ecolab’s expert water and liquid cooling programmes optimise water use efficiency (WUE) and power usage effectiveness (PUE) to deliver on operational and sustainability goals,” said Gregory Lukasik, CEO & Senior VP, Ecolab.

“As Singapore continues to invest in AI talent and infrastructure, specialty chemicals partners that offer practical technologies to boost energy and resources will be key to driving sustainable growth. Singapore welcomes such partners like Ecolab that are scaling AI-enabled and resource-efficient solutions for Asia and beyond,” said Kelly Lai, VP for Materials & Chemicals, Economic Development Board (EDB) of Singapore.

AWS: AI adoption grows 20% in Singapore

Image
Amazon Web Services (AWS), an Amazon.com company, has found* that AI adoption continues to accelerate in Singapore. In the past year alone, 27,000 1 Singapore businesses adopted AI for the first time—equivalent to over three new adopters every hour. In sum, nearly 170,000 (48%) of businesses in Singapore have adopted AI 2 , up from approximately 143,000 (40%) a year ago. This represents a 20% year-over-year growth rate, AWS said. AI adoption is the strongest in the financial services industry (71%), followed by the technology sector ( software developers, data analytics firms, cloud service providers, and digital startups) at 70%, and healthcare at 63%. Among Singapore’s businesses that have adopted AI, 82% reported an increase in revenue, at an average increase of 19%, while 90% report significant productivity improvements. A large majority (85%) of those who have adopted AI say the technology is likely to increase their growth in the next year, and 89% expect an average of 17%...
