Selecting the Right Acid Neutralization System for Your Application
Acid neutralization systems treat the effluent from semiconductor wet process fabrication facilities and other industrial processes to make it safe for release into the environment. The right system for an application will add alkaline chemicals to the acidic solution and raise the pH close to the neutral level of 7 while recording process data to […]
How Chemical Delivery Systems Are Customized for Specific Applications
Many types of industrial plants and research centers use chemicals in their operations and need systems that can handle these often dangerous substances effectively. The chemical delivery system has to be able to store the chemicals, deliver them to the point of use and handle disposal. Depending on the application, chemical mixing and a degree […]
Why Chemical Lift Station Pumps Are Needed for Wet Bench Stations
Once a wet bench process step is completed, the remaining chemicals and waste water have to be drained and transferred to an area for neutralization and disposal. Depending on the physical layout of the semiconductor manufacturing facility, gravity draining may either not be possible at all or may be insufficient in terms of flow and […]
How Acid Fume Scrubbers Work to Maintain a Clean Work Environment
Creating silicon wafer microstructures, integrated circuits, and processors requires an extensive multi-step process of etching, stripping, and cleaning silicon wafers. Chemicals such as sulfuric acid, hydrochloric acid or hydrogen peroxide carry out these operations effectively but give off vapor that is harmful for workers inside the workspace and for the environment outside. In addition to […]
How Chemical Delivery Systems Are Designed to Meet Customer Requirements
Many industrial activities require the supply of a variety of chemicals for their manufacturing or production processes. Because the industrial process may include special procedures and the use of specific chemicals, chemical delivery systems often have to be custom-designed to exactly meet the needs of a facility. Typical custom requirements deal with the quantities of […]

Tips on Selecting an Acid Neutralization System for your Application
Acid neutralization systems are essential for various industrial processes such as semiconductor fabrication and research facilities that produce acidic effluents. These cannot legally be discharged directly into public sewer systems; instead, they need to first be processed in legally prescribed ways. Altering the pH of acidic waste by-products to legally acceptable pH ranges of between […]
Choosing the Right Chemical Delivery System for Your Application
Semiconductor manufacturers and research labs have extensive chemical handling requirements and need a safe way to supply chemicals to the points where they are used. Key factors for choosing chemical delivery systems are the storage options that are available, the system performance in terms of precision and reliability and the software that can be used […]
