Wastewater treatment in semiconductor and circuit board production
The manufacture of semiconductors, printed circuit boards, and electronic components is one of the most demanding industrial sectors of all. Extreme precision, purity, and process reliability are key – and this also applies to wastewater treatment. This is because etching, cleaning, electroplating, and rinsing processes produce a wide variety of chemically contaminated and sometimes toxic wastewater that must not be mixed or disposed of untreated.
With our atmospheric evaporators, we offer a customized, economical, and ecological solution for the internal treatment of this wastewater—safe, modular, and suitable for high purity requirements.
Comply with limits. Conserve resources.
Reduce costs.
Compliance with statutory discharge limits is mandatory in the field of electronics and semiconductor production , . Even the smallest concentrations of heavy metals, acids, or alkalis can cause problems in sewage treatment plants or the environment. Our evaporator solutions enable:
- Consistent compliance with discharge limits
- Significant reduction in external disposal
- Reuse of treated water in the production process
MKR designs each system on the basis of individual wastewater analyses . This ensures that your solution is optimally tailored to your processes, volumes, and requirements.
