The Chemical Connection: Reducing Etch System Water Usage, Part 2

May 2, 2024 | Don Ball, The Chemical Connection

Most of these are not easily retrofittable to existing equipment but should be given serious consideration when new equipment is contemplated. With the right combination of add-ons, it is possible to bring the amount of water used in an etch system to almost zero.
