Electronics

Ultrapure water (UPW) is a critical component for cleaning, rinsing, and surface preparation, in the manufacturing of consumer electronics and integrated circuits (ICs).

The consistent use of UPW in manufacturing processes enhances product quality, improves yield rates, and reduces defects, while helping meeting stringent performance standards and customer expectations.

At the same time, UPW systems in electronics manufacturing require meticulous maintenance and continuous management of operational parameters to sustain peak performance. They also need to adhere to rigorous environmental and safety standards.

Semiconductors

The semiconductor industry in India is witnessing rapid expansion fueled by rising consumer electronics demand and advancements in technology. This growth underscores the critical role of ultrapure water (UPW) in semiconductor manufacturing, where it is indispensable for processes like wafer cleaning and chip fabrication.

UPW systems must maintain ultra-high purity levels to mitigate contaminants that could jeopardize chip reliability and yield. The energy-intensive nature of UPW production and stringent regulatory requirements add layers of complexity.

It is imperative for semiconductor manufacturers to collaborate with UPW partners with expertise in designing, implementing, and maintaining UPW systems at scale. This strategic approach not only ensures operational excellence but also leverages the deep local understanding of source water challenges to solve problems at the design stage itself.

Clean Energy

UPW systems play a foundational role in photovoltaic (PV) solar panel manufacturing and green hydrogen production. In PV solar, UPW is essential to ensure surface quality of silicon wafers. In green hydrogen production through electrolysis, UPW serves as a high-purity feedstock for uninterrupted operations.

UPW systems consume large volumes of water for manufacturing PV solar panels and producing green hydrogen. Also, the water purity standards are among the highest across industries - which demands advanced filtration and treatment processes. Effective management of these challenges requires robust technological solutions and constant monitoring to ensure operational reliability.

Optimizing system efficiency and longevity while reducing resource consumption is crucial for sustainability. It requires strong collaborations with leading water system experts, to optimize energy usage in UPW production and explore sustainable water recycling practices.
