Ultrapure water is a high-purity water that minimizes impurities and brings them closer to H2O as much as possible. It is used in a variety of applications, including cleaning processes for semiconductor devices and flat panel displays (FDPs), and steam generators for power generation turbines. This ultrapure water is then manufactured through many processes, including demineralization, ion exchange, and multiple membrane treatment. HORIBA offers a wide lineup of high-precision meters required for the production and purity control of ultrapure water in a wide range of applications.
Water is used in the semiconductor production process, and the water which is used is discharged from the factory. Wastewater from semiconductor factories can have a significant impact on the aquatic environment such as rivers, lakes, and oceans, so appropriate treatment and management are necessary. Furthermore, this wastewater can be categorized into organic wastewater and inorganic wastewater, each requiring different treatment methods. HORIBA contributes to wastewater treatment with a lineup of measurement instruments and sensors that can address various types of wastewater.
