Arcadis is a world leader in the realm of sustainable design, engineering, and consultancy for natural and built assets. Utilizing state of the art design, data, and technology, Arcadis aims to develop modern society in reaction to the world’s most pressing issues. With a presence of over 36,000 employees across 70 countries, dedicated to improving quality of life in rapidly growing cities around the Globe, Arcadis delivers effective solutions for communities, data centers and other critical infrastructure through sustainable outcomes, focus and scale, and digitalization.
In January 2022, Tomorrow Water partnered with Arcadis to evaluate and develop Co-Flow, Tomorrow Water's patented process for sustainably co-locating data centers with wastewater treatment plants. Co-Flow integrates a wastewater treatment plant and a data center, linking the energy and fluid streams of both facilities to improve sustainability and economics. Process intensification coupled with an innovative water-cooling concept results in compact footprints, reduced potable water use, energy and life cycle costs while creating a highly attractive and sustainable solution for data centers especially in water stressed areas. The technology also enables data centers to be built on top of the existing treatment infrastructure, further reducing the footprint required for the new data centers. The partnership has the potential to revolutionize how private and public sectors approach infrastructure.
BioLargo, Inc. is a cleantech and life sciences innovator and engineering services solution provider. Their core products address PFAS contamination, achieve advanced water and wastewater treatment, control odor and VOCs, improve air quality, and control infections and infectious disease. BioLargo invents or acquires novel technologies, develops them into product offerings, and extends their commercial reach through licensing and channel partnerships to maximize their impact.
In early 2020, Tomorrow Water, BKT, and BioLargo formed a joint venture in South Korea to manufacture and support the distribution of odor and volatile organic compound (VOC) control products based on CupriDyne® Clean, the air quality control product produced by BioLargo's subsidiary ONM Environmental, for the South Korean market. CupriDyne Clean is a gentle, non-toxic, eco-friendly, non-pesticide formula that works by eliminating odor-causing compounds rather than masking them.
Capture6 is a California-based carbon capture start-up technology provider and project developer. With a firm belief in supporting the circular economy and communities, Capture6 focuses on carbon capture technology that permanently stores carbon dioxide away from the atmosphere.
In April 2023, Tomorrow Water, BKT, and Capture6 formed a partnership to jointly pursue R&D, demonstration, and project opportunities for integrating carbon capture systems within seawater desalination or wastewater treatment facilities for enhanced water recovery as well as delivering decarbonization as a strategy for industrial clients and power generation projects.
Known as South Korea’s prominent conglomerate and one of the world’s largest technology producers, Samsung’s global influence provides the highest degree of assurance in the quality of their products and mission. With a history that began in South Korea, their products are now bought and utilized by all around the globe.
In March 2022, Tomorrow Water and its parent company, BKT, signed a memorandum of understanding with Samsung to pursue developing eco-friendly integrated infrastructure solutions, leveraging Tomorrow Water’s Co-Flow initiative, that will improve quality of life, and help safeguard the environment for future generations. Co-Flow was developed as part of Tomorrow Water's broader "Tomorrow Water Project," an initiative to co-locate and interconnect infrastructure elements such as wastewater treatment, renewable energy generation, and data center capacity, capitalizing on their complementary energy, heat, nutrient, and water inputs and outputs to make them more sustainable and affordable to the global population.
The John Cockerill Group develops large-scale technological solutions to meet the needs of its time: facilitating access to fossil-free energies, enabling sustainable industrial production, preserving natural resources, contributing to greener mobility, enhancing security, and installing essential infrastructures. John Cockerill’s Environment Sector designs and supplies treatment technologies for water, solids, waste, air, gas, and odors.
In June 2023, Tomorrow Water and John Cockerill signed a global partnership agreement in response to the ever-increasing demand for sustainable technologies that reduce the cost of wastewater treatment and sludge management through the transformation of wastewater plants into resource recovery and green energy production facilities. Tomorrow Water and John Cockerill will share and promote two technologies within their respective solution portfolios and markets: John Cockerill will market and provide Tomorrow Water’s Thermal Hydrolysis Process (THP)/HydroThermal Carbonization (HTC) system, "Draco™," and Tomorrow Water will market and provide John Cockerill Environment’s Continuous Flow Aerobic Granular Sludge (AGS) process, "BeFlow® AGS."
ReCarbon, a Bay Area climate tech company, uses its proprietary floating microwave plasma tech to turn greenhouse gases into profitable, low, no-, and carbon-negative products. Their goal: providing pathways to decarbonize hard-to-abate industrial sectors and biogenic sources by reducing gigatons of GHG emissions annually by 2030. Through eliminating the need to compromise between environmental impact and economics, ReCarbon is deploying its disruptive technology worldwide through its growing network of innovative partners.
In September 2023, Tomorrow Water and ReCarbon signed a global partnership agreement to leverage their breakthrough technologies to meet the ever-growing demand for sustainable solutions that optimize wastewater and sludge treatment and produce low-carbon, climate-positive products. Tomorrow Water’s market-leading wastewater treatment and biogas production technologies, paired with ReCarbon’s proprietary plasma reformation technology, will provide customer wastewater treatment plants with the ability to maximize the efficiency and production of biogas, and then transform the captured carbon dioxide (CO2) and methane (CH4) into carbon-negative syngas for the production of climate-positive fuels and chemicals.
