The water treatment methods that best protect plumbing and HVAC systems in facilities are chemical treatments, filtration technologies, and advanced treatment systems used together in a coordinated program. Chemical treatments such as corrosion and scale control chemistries protect metal surfaces and heat transfer areas from degradation and deposit formation. Filtration methods, including sediment filtration, carbon […]

AAMI ST108 replaces TIR34 as the mandatory water quality standard for medical device processing in healthcare facilities. AAMI ST108 is an ANSI-approved standard that establishes testing requirements for three water categories—utility, critical, and steam—used in sterile processing departments. Published in August 2023, ST108 impacts hospitals, ambulatory surgery centers, and healthcare facilities using water for instrument […]

Ultrapure water systems for precision cutting in microelectronics ensure that wafers and components are exposed only to highly controlled, low‑contaminant process water at every cutting and rinsing stage. By stabilizing water quality, these systems help protect edge integrity, improve yields, and support reliable downstream assembly and packaging. Why Water Quality Drives Precision Cutting In microelectronics […]

Ultrapure water systems supply semiconductor fabs with water that approaches theoretical purity, so no ionic, organic, or particulate residues remain on wafer surfaces during cleaning, rinsing, and chemical processing steps. In wafer chip fabrication, this level of purity is essential to control defects, protect yield, and ensure long‑term device reliability. This article explains required water […]

How ultrapure water systems power data center cooling efficiency by delivering low‑TDS, high‑resistivity water that prevents scale, corrosion, and fouling in cooling equipment. This stable water quality improves heat transfer, supports higher rack densities, reduces maintenance events, and helps operators meet energy and water efficiency targets for modern facilities. Why Data Center Cooling Needs Ultrapure […]

Ultrapure water systems produce water with resistivity exceeding 18.2 MΩ·cm at 25°C for semiconductor manufacturing processes where contamination control determines chip yield and performance. Semiconductor fabrication facilities consume 2-4 million gallons of ultrapure water daily, with advanced fabs using 4.5-7 liters per cm² of processed wafer. Contamination from inadequate water purity causes defects that reduce […]

Packaged RO systems simplify installation and maintenance through 3 primary methods: pre-assembled components, integrated monitoring technology, and accessible design architecture. Industrial facilities managing water treatment operations face installation downtime averaging 2-3 weeks and annual maintenance costs exceeding $15,000 with conventional field-assembled reverse osmosis systems. Packaged water systems address these operational challenges by consolidating pre-plumbed piping, […]

Brackish water RO systems lower industrial operating costs by 20-30% through energy-efficient membranes consuming 20% less power, 50-80% water recovery rates, and reduced chemical usage. Operating at 80-200 psi versus 400+ psi for seawater systems, facilities achieve $0.36-$0.66 per cubic meter operational savings with 99% salt rejection. What Makes Brackish RO Systems Energy-Efficient? Brackish RO […]
