Membrane Degassing To Improving Yields in Semiconductors in Ultrapure Water Treatment Systems

In the semiconductor, microelectronics and flat panel/TFT industries, oxygen causes lower wafer and flat panel yields. Liqui-Cel® Contactor degassing systems are standard in the electronics sector because dissolved oxygen elimination and reduction is critical. Industrial Water Solutions membrane deoxygenation systems can produce <1ppb of dissolved oxygen (O2); We offer performance warranties for specified levels of oxygen. We are the industry leader in deoxygenation systems around the world.

Our process to remove oxygen is environmentally friendly, chemical free and highly efficient.  In our degasification process, we can remove 99.99% of all gases.  Ultrapure water treatment equipment such as deionization (DI) systems, softners, carbon filters and reverse osmosis systems (RO) and which are often used in conjunction with degasification systems can be found here.

Membrane Contactor Systems are also idea for deaeration and degasification of liquids in the following industries.

• Pharmaceutical
• Power Generation
• Ink
• Photographic
• Medical
• Boiler
• Dairy
• Food & beverage
• Industrial

Frequently Asked Questions

Why is membrane degassing important in semiconductor ultrapure water treatment systems?

In the semiconductor, microelectronics, and flat panel/TFT industries, dissolved oxygen can lower wafer and flat panel yields. The page explains that dissolved oxygen elimination and reduction is critical, which is why Liqui-Cel® Contactor degassing systems are standard in the electronics sector.

How low can dissolved oxygen levels go with these membrane deoxygenation systems?

Industrial Water Solutions membrane deoxygenation systems can produce less than 1 ppb of dissolved oxygen (O2).

Is the membrane degassing process chemical free?

Yes. The process is environmentally friendly, chemical free, and highly efficient. The degasification process can remove 99.99% of all gases.

Can membrane contactor systems be used in industries other than semiconductors?

Yes. Membrane contactor systems are also ideal for deaeration and degasification of liquids in pharmaceutical, power generation, ink, photographic, medical, boiler, dairy, food and beverage, and industrial applications.

Can membrane degassing systems be used with other ultrapure water treatment equipment?

Yes. Degasification systems are often used in conjunction with deionization systems, softeners, carbon filters, and reverse osmosis systems in ultrapure water treatment.
