Functional Water Systems
What is Functional Water?
Functional Water cleans electronic components quickly and efficiently. It performs a function that you would not expect from water.
The starting point is Ultrapure water, which is actually quite “aggressive” anyway. We then add a small concentration of a pure gas, which therefore dramatically increases its aggressive property. Consequently, you can then use the Functional Water to quickly and efficiently clean a wide range of electronic components. This gives you a number of major production benefits. Our range of Functional Water systems adds different gases to Ultrapure Water to clean different types of electronic components.
Range of Hydrogen Functional Water Units
The standard range of units available produces from 300 to 3,600/h of Hydrogen Functional Water. Larger capacity units are also available when required.
Other Functional Water Types:
Other units that use different gases, including Ammonia, Nitrogen and Ozone, are available.
Benefits of Functional Water Units:
Virtually Zero Chemical Consumption
The normal range of chemicals used in the “standard” SC-1 and SC-2 processes is not necessary. For example, using Hydrogen Functional Water ensures ultra-efficient removal of particles from components in less time than the classic process. This helps to improve production output. Cleaning is at room temperature, and therefore heating costs are also eliminated.
Reduced Ultrapure Water Consumption
You do not need to use strong chemicals to remove contaminants. Therefore, you do not then need to rinse those chemicals from the components. Consequently, the cleaning process is quicker and it also dramatically reduces consumption of ultrapure water to then rinse those chemicals off the components. Of course, ultrapure water is expenisve to produce, so this reduces your Operating Costs (OPEX)
Reduced Wastewater Production
You consume less Ultrapure Water. Consequently, there is less wastewater to then treat. Not only that but, what wastewater you do produce therefore contains very little chemical contaminants. So, this means that you reduce:
- How much wastewater needs treatment.
- The cost of Ultrapure Water production.
- The amount and cost of treatment chemicals you use.
- How much sludge must be removed off-site for disposal.
- Reduce the overall Environmental Impact of your production.
The wastewater you produce is far less contaminated and you therefore also have the realistic possibility to recycle and re-use the water, again saving cost.
Think about these advantages: They add up to a potentially very big reduction in OPEX! Not only that, but cleaning and rinsing time is also reduced, so you can increase production too!
Functional Water Units are being used by the industry’s Major Players. The number is increasing all the time!
