Common water challenges faced by the semiconductor industry

Cooling water inefficiencies caused by corrosion, deposits, and bio-fouling. Hydro-X Engineering provides cooling tower pre-treatment, as well as bleed recovery systems, dosage and control systems, and scale and biofilm monitoring systems.

Water quality inconsistencies caused by pre-treatment. Hydro-X Engineering can design and build Ultra-Pure Water (UPW) systems, including resin-based ion exchange, membrane systems including Reverse Osmosis (RO), and Electro-Deionisation (EDI).

Costly wastewater disposal, from expensive onsite treatment to time-consuming tankers. Hydro-X Engineering offers wastewater treatment engineering, wastewater treatment chemistry, and Zero-Liquid-Discharge (ZLD) systems.

Bacteriological and biofilm issues caused by biological growth in water systems. Hydro-X Engineering offer secondary disinfection systems, including Ultra-Violet (UV) disinfection systems.

Downtime and inefficiencies caused by a lack of visibility in a fast-moving industry. Hydro-X Engineering offers remote monitoring and control systems to ensure our customers meet their water quality parameters.

In addition, Hydro-X Engineering offers an innovative range of engineered products, these include:

  • Water Storage, distribution, and filtration systems.
  • Pre-Treatment for steam and cooling systems, including filtration, water softeners, and Reverse Osmosis (RO) systems, Electro-Deionisation (EDI) systems.
  • Chemical dosing and control systems, including remote chemical usage and level monitoring.
  • Cooling tower bleed recovery systems, to capture and reuse cooling tower wastewater.
  • Secondary disinfection including Ultra-Violet (UV), Chlorine Dioxide (ClO2) and other options.
  • Process and wastewater treatment and reuse systems.
  • Biofilm and scale monitoring systems linked to automatic dosing for live
    remediation.
