MIDAS and OLEON Team Up for Immersion Cooling Innovation
In a strategic collaboration announced on September 17, 2025, MIDAS, a trailblazer in data center immersion cooling technologies, has joined forces with Oleon, a leading name in sustainable bio-based oleochemical products. This alliance marks a pivotal advancement in the domain of environmentally friendly cooling solutions tailored for high-demand data environments.
Addressing the Growing Cooling Needs
As artificial intelligence (AI), high-performance computing (HPC), and cryptocurrency operations surge in prevalence, the resulting heat output poses significant challenges for data centers. With increasing energy consumption and water scarcity becoming critical issues, the need for innovative cooling solutions has never been more urgent. The partnership between MIDAS and Oleon seeks to address this challenge directly, enhancing both sustainability and performance in data center cooling systems.
The extensive testing of Oleon’s Qloe™ fluids has culminated in their official approval for use in MIDAS' cutting-edge immersion systems. These fluids, derived from renewable plant sources, not only promise high performance but also take into account environmental responsibilities. Their formulation ensures biodegradable, non-toxic characteristics that align with the sustainability goals of modern data centers.
Features of the Collaboration
The immersion systems designed by MIDAS are specifically engineered to handle the substantial demands associated with current workloads. They provide significant energy savings and space efficiency while maintaining automatic redundancy that guarantees reliability. This innovative approach is critical in the context of ever-increasing data density and environmental awareness.
Oleon’s Qloe™ fluids enhance these systems by offering excellent dielectric strength, low viscosity, and superior thermal transfer capabilities, essential for efficient immersion cooling applications. Their high flash points further ensure safety, making them ideal for environments where heat management is critical.
Scott Sickmiller, CEO of MIDAS, commented on the partnership, stating, "Data centers shouldn't have to choose between density and sustainability. By merging MIDAS' verified immersion technology with Oleon’s renewable Qloe™ fluids, we provide a solution that meets both performance expectations and environmental demands."
Commitment to Sustainability
The eco-friendly attributes of Oleon’s Qloe™ fluids represent a significant advancement in dielectric cooling technology. As emphasized by Maarten Trautmann, Data Center Fluids Lead at Oleon, the synergy with MIDAS is focused on achieving both sustainability and high performance. “Midas has a long history of immersion cooling deployments, and our mutual commitment to creating environmentally responsible solutions will shape the future of data center cooling,” Trautmann remarked.
Future-Proofing Data Centers
The collaboration epitomizes a forward-thinking approach to the cooling technology sector, where efficiency meets environmental compassion. By integrating sustainable practices with technological innovation, MIDAS and Oleon aim to redefine the standards for data center operations, laying the groundwork for future advancements in the field.
Through this partnership, both companies are equipped to take on the escalating challenges posed by high-density computing needs while protecting the environment. As they continue to innovate and deploy solutions globally, the focus remains firmly on delivering energy-efficient, reliable cooling systems that do not compromise on ecological integrity.
