About
IDE provided a comprehensive solution to a large semiconductor manufacturer that needed to treat its fab’s industrial wastewater in order to maximize water reuse, minimize environmental impact, and meet local regulations.
In this project’s scope, IDE installed its proprietary Max H2O Pulse Flow RO (PFRO) system. This solution treats brine and effluents from two related applications: The Cooling Tower Blowdown (CTBD) and the PFRO unit. The product water from the PFRO system serves the fab’s needs, thus achieving the desired high recovery while reducing the external water withdrawal. The PFRO unit’s recovery rate stands at 54% and will ultimately increase to 88%.

Highlights
-
High recovery
Recovery of additional 54% from the upstream treatment system brine, resulting with an overall recovery rate of 88%.
-
Technological leadership
IDE’s proprietary patented single-stage PFRO technology overcomes the challenges of conventional RO operation by discharging brine in a pulse flow regime through short, high-velocity surges.
-
Low maintenance requirements
System configuration simplifies the preventive maintenance approach by utilizing IDE’s smart CIO (Clean In Operation) with short and frequent cleanings during the system operation , which increases the time between CIPs and the overall system availability
