Solar Cell Manufacturing
High-Purity Water & ZLD Systems for Clean Energy Innovation
Permionics enables solar cell manufacturers to meet the demanding purity requirements of wafer processing while advancing their sustainability goals. Our advanced membrane systems deliver ultrapure water (UPW) for precision cleaning and etching — while our ZLD technologies ensure zero liquid discharge and maximum resource recovery.
Key Challenges Solved
- High consumption of ultrapure water in water manufacturing
- Chemical-heavy effluent streams from etching and CMP processes
- Need for zero liquid discharge (ZLD) compliance
- High energy and operational costs in traditional water treatment
- Sustainability targets and carbon footprint reduction
Our Solutions
