Characteristics of wastewater in the semiconductor industry

—— "High-risk wastewater under high-purity process"

The semiconductor manufacturing process is complex, involving multiple high-precision steps such as etching, cleaning, photolithography, CMP, ion implantation, etc. The wastewater produced has the remarkable characteristics of diverse pollutant components, highly refined content, and extremely high treatment standards:
There are more than ten types of wastewater: such as acid-base wastewater (pH 1-13), fluoride-containing wastewater, heavy metal wastewater (Cu, Ni, Cr, etc.), high COD organic wastewater (photoresist residue), high salt wastewater, high ammonia wastewater, etc., with different properties and cannot be mixed.
Fine ingredients and high toxicity: Some wastewater contains trace but highly toxic organic solvents, chelating agents, surfactants and heavy metals, even ppb (parts per billion) level residues may affect the quality of recycled water.
Ultra-high standards: In order to ensure the safety of production and clean room water quality, companies usually require that the quality of wastewater reuse water meet or even exceed the urban tap water standard, with total organic carbon (TOC) < 50ppb and conductivity < 1-2μS/cm. Ultrapure water standard treatment ideas must be adopted.
Huge water consumption, extremely high reuse value: A 12-inch wafer factory can consume 10,000-20,000 tons of water per day. If the wastewater reuse rate is increased by 1%, nearly one million tons of water can be saved each year, which is a key link in green manufacturing.
Extremely stable operation requirements: The semiconductor wastewater treatment system needs to operate continuously and stably 24 hours a day. Any fluctuation may affect the process operation and production line yield, and the fault tolerance space is extremely small.


Huadian Capabilities

As China's leading industrial water treatment EPC service provider, Huadian has created a "modular + customized + ultra-high purity" full-process water treatment and reuse solution for the ultra-high standards and ultra-high stability requirements of the semiconductor industry:

Multi-stage quality and flow separation design

Accurately classify water according to quality type (fluorine-containing, heavy metal-containing, organic wastewater, etc.), respectively adopt redox, neutralization equalization, high-efficiency flotation, membrane separation and other unit combination treatments to maximize the reuse rate and avoid mixed discharge and cost increases.

High-end water reuse system

integrates ultrafiltration (UF) + reverse osmosis (RO) + EDI + polishing mixed bed and other high-purity water treatment technologies, the resistivity of produced water is ≥18MΩ/cm, TOC<50ppb, and the reused water is widely used in cleaning, cooling, and circulation systems, effectively helping customers achieve a reuse rate of more than 70%.

Deep treatment of heavy metal and organic pollution

For trace Cu, Ni, Cr, TOC, COD, etc., ozone oxidation + activated carbon adsorption + nanofiltration/DTRO and other deep treatment processes are used to ensure that the reused water meets the standards and is non-toxic.

High-standard automation control platform

deploy intelligent operation and maintenance system to achieve real-time online monitoring and system linkage control of various wastewater quality indicators (pH, COD, fluoride ions, heavy metals, TOC, conductivity, etc.), ensuring the efficient operation of the system 7×24 hours.

Huadian Commitment

Clean process, guard from the "source"; every drop of recycled water can be traced.
Huadian helps semiconductor customers achieve the triple goals of green manufacturing, cost reduction and efficiency improvement, and ESG compliance with high-standard design, ultrapure water technology and intelligent management and control. We not only treat wastewater, but also empower the future "core" ecology.
