Empowering India's Largest Solar Wafer Plant with Complete Water Management

About the Case Study

Solar wafers are a crucial component in the production of solar panels, which convert sunlight into electricity. The production of solar wafers is a water-intensive process. Ultrapure water is key to wafer cleaning, rinsing, surface conditioning, wet etching, solvent process, chemical mechanical planarization, and slurry production, at solar wafer manufacturing plants.

This case study covers Permionics’ client story, a leader in this fast-growing industry of solar-wafer manufacturing, as we work together with a single focus on reducing industrial carbon footprint and paving the way for sustainable energy thereby improving the quality of present and future human life.

We implemented a complete water management solution including a plant to product high volumes of Ultra Pure Water and India’s largest ETP+ZLP plant for the Solar Energy for high recovery of quality water from the waste stream and adhere to regulatory guidelined and environmental sustainability.
