The manufacturing of microelectronic products requires an important volume of water, which must be ultra-pure. Before being used for production, the drinking water that arrives at C2MI goes through a series of filters, softeners, and reverse osmosis to deionize it. We have implemented a closed-loop deionized water recovery process that reduces the demand for drinking water by 30%, representing an annual saving of 53,610 liters.

The water recovery project consisted of targeting process water discharges that could be re-filtered by our facilities and reused in the processes. Control measures ensure that the reclaimed water meets the required parameters such as conductivity. If not, it is directed to water treatment.
