PHILOS UF Membrane Leads the Way in Sustainable Wastewater Treatment for Semiconductor Manufacturing

In the world of technology and semiconductor manufacturing, efficiency and sustainability are critical factors that drive innovation. With the rise of demand for electronic devices, the production of wafers, a semiconductor material, has been increasing significantly. However, the process generates a considerable amount of wastewater, which can pose a challenge for companies to find an efficient way to dispose of it.


Fortunately, PHILOS Ultrafiltration membranes have emerged as a solution to the wastewater problem for semiconductor manufacturing plants. These innovative membranes have been used in the filtration of wastewater generated during the processing of wafers, which typically includes a combination of wafer powder and ultrapure water. Through chemical pretreatment and ultrafiltration, the wastewater is purified, removing impurities, and contaminants. The result is a clean, reusable water source.

This new process of wastewater reuse has helped a semiconductor manufacturing plant to recycle approximately 1,000 tons of water per day, which can now be utilized as ultrapure water. This is achieved through a combination of reverse osmosis (RO), electro-deionization (EDI), and polishing, which work together to produce ultrapure water that meets the high standards required for semiconductor manufacturing.



Megaflux-CUF has been a game-changer in the filtration industry with its cost-effective and environmentally friendly solution for water treatment. With the world's growing demand for electronic devices, sustainability is more important than ever. By incorporating this innovative technology, semiconductor manufacturing companies can achieve their environmental goals while contributing to a more sustainable future for the industry.
