Heat walks from the rack to the host
Every MicroLink deployment moves heat along the same path: the server loop through exchanger A, across the recovery loop to exchanger B, and into the host partner's process. The cooler on the return rail carries whatever the host partner does not take, hour by hour.
Who we are
MicroLink Data Centers builds high density, liquid cooled compute inside industrial host partner facilities: places that already hold the power and already buy the heat. Almost every watt a chip draws leaves the silicon as heat. Everyone else throws it away. We treat it as a second product.

What we do
We develop and operate compute across three scales on one shared stack: a 50 kW edge block, a 1.25 MW pod, and campuses from 10 MW up to 1 GW. No other company is developing a continuous range across these applications. Every scale runs the same software, the same thermal philosophy and the same dry cooler backed architecture, so what is proven at one scale carries to the next.
How we do it
We standardise the hardware and develop the layer above it. Cooling distribution, power modules and IT hardware are standardised with Vertiv and other leading manufacturers. MicroLink's own development, and its IP, sits in control, monitoring and management software, in system and solution design for compute inside industrial sites, in 800 V DC power, and in the systems that couple generation optimisation and heat recovery to compute. Delivered performance is reported as ERE alongside PUE, from live metering.
Where we sit in the ecosystem
Manufacturers
Vertiv and other leading manufacturers supply standardised hardware against MicroLink reference designs.
Host partners
Industrial facilities, district energy networks and utilities that hold power and buy delivered heat.
Compute offtake
Placeholder: colocation, cloud and AI capacity offtake across the three scales.

Submitted IP
MicroLink's first patent family is filed and pending. The strategy is a two patent fence: a narrow filing that proves the system in its first embodiment, and a broad filing that covers the industrial symbiosis category across host types. IP is held in a dedicated IP holding entity within the group structure.
| Reference | Title | Scope | Status |
|---|---|---|---|
| ML 001 | Wastewater deployment | Narrow filing covering the first embodiment at a wastewater treatment host, establishing the earliest priority date | Filed, patent pending |
| ML-IND-001 | Industrial Symbiosis Data Center System | Broad category filing: high density liquid cooled compute co located with an industrial host, waste heat captured, conditioned and delivered as a controlled thermal input, with thermal isolation, demand responsive control and closed loop energy cycling | Submitted, patent pending, April 2026 priority |
Four embodiments in the broad filing
Digester heating
Heat demand 35 to 55°C (95 to 131°F). Loop closure: biogas to supplementary power.
Hot water and cleaning
Heat demand 65 to 85°C (149 to 185°F). Loop closure: fermentation CO2 to transcritical cooling.
Climate and enrichment
Heat demand 18 to 28°C (64 to 82°F) plus CO2 enrichment. Loop closure: CO2 and humidity to plant growth.
Pasteurisation and cleaning
Heat demand 60 to 90°C (140 to 194°F). Loop closure: refrigeration condenser coupled to data center cooling.
