Reliable valves for Reverse Osmosis (RO) systems

In a typical wafer fab, millions of liters of water are used daily, most of which is processed through reverse osmosis (RO) to meet ultrapure water (UPW) standards. Bray Controls supplies valves and accessories for:

Process cooling water (PCW)
Wafer cleaning and rinse stations
Pretreatment and storage of purified water
Wastewater recycling and reclamation

Our PFA-coated butterfly valves and ball valves deliver long-lasting performance, even with aggressive acids, organic compounds, and high-pressure conditions.

Ultrapure water (UPW): Essential for sub-10nm chip production

In modern sub-10 nm chip manufacturing, water purity requirements are exceptionally high. Bray Benelux supplies valves for UPW processes that meet SEMI F63, F54, and F104 standards. These valves are used in:

UPW polishing units
Wafer cleaning and etching
Chemical mechanical planarization (CMP)
Solvent-based processes

Our valves are cleaned and verified in Bray’s own cleanrooms and are designed to operate without contamination or corrosion.

Deionized water (DI): A key process fluid for wafer manufacturing

DI water is produced by removing ions such as sodium, calcium, chloride, and sulfates through ion exchange systems. Producing a single 300 mm wafer can require more than 6,000 liters of deionized water. Bray Controls Benelux offers valves for:

Mixed-bed ion exchange tanks
Demineralization systems
Rinse stations and analysis gases
DI water storage systems

Our valves feature minimal dead space, low particle generation, and high chemical compatibility, ensuring reliability in DI water applications.

Water recycling and wastewater treatment in wafer fabs

After use, ultrapure water (UPW) becomes wastewater that often contains hazardous chemicals and heavy metals. Bray supplies advanced valves for:

Treatment of effluent water containing cyanide, pyrazoles, and other chemicals
Water recycling and reuse
Safe discharge of treated water

Our products are engineered to withstand corrosive acids and aggressive chemicals, ensuring safe and reliable operation.
