Advanced water treatment technologies

Amit Kapur, Founder, Chairman & Managing Director, NICO Nanobubble India Co. Semiconductor Industry: Water Quality Imperatives and Strategic Challenges Semiconductor and advanced electronics manufacturing is fundamentally dependent on ultrapure water (UPW). UPW is used across critical steps such as wafer cleaning and rinsing, photolithography support operations, etching, plating/anodic processes in adjacent electronics lines, Chemical Mechanical Planarization (CMP) support rinses, and chemical dilution where applicable. As device geometries continue to shrink and defect tolerance narrows, the water specification envelope becomes increasingly stringent not only for ionic purity and Total Organic Carbon…

Contamination remains one of the most pressing issues in water treatment. Pollutants such as heavy metals, pesticides, pharmaceuticals, and microplastics pose significant health risks. Furthermore, pathogens, including bacteria and viruses can enter water sources and lead to outbreaks of waterborne diseases. Population growth and industrialization further stress water resources, highlighting the need for innovative solutions to meet rising demand. The water treatment industry has embraced several transformative technologies to combat contamination effectively and enhance treatment efficiency. These include AI-driven monitoring, advanced filtration systems, smart infrastructure, membrane filtration, bio & carbon-based…
