Ultra-Pure Water Systems (UPW)

Contact Our Team

Overview

Burt Process Equipment delivers comprehensive, prepackaged Ultra-Pure Water Systems (UPW) to leading semiconductor, solar, battery and supporting manufacturing facilities. These systems are designed to meet stringent ultrapure water quality requirements with a full suite of pre-treatment, reverse osmosis, EDI, DI polishing, UV treatment, degasification, ultra filtration, and loop distribution, all managed by a centralized automated control system. Each system is designed to meet different ASTM E or custom client water standards. Our systems are custom designed by our process engineers and overseen by our project teams from concept to installation to meet our clients’ needs.

UPW Quality Specification Table

Control System

  • UPW system panels include complete integration with all system instrumentation such as resistivity, TOC, particle measurement, online oxygen monitors, temperature, pressure, & flow instrumentation, as well as all modular components.
  • Options for Allen-Bradley or Siemens PLC controlled systems are available, ensuring smooth deployment into existing facility controls environments.
  • Options to add BAS communication modules are available.
  • For systems that require high voltage components, voltage transformers can be integrated to segregate high voltage components & allow for the use of low voltage components for process variable transmitters & manual controls.
  • System control panels are pre-mounted & pre-wired to the system skid & skid components.
  • Electrical conduit such as PVC rigid & flexible PolyTuff is utilized for system wiring.

Implementation

Factory Acceptance Testing (FAT): Systems are rigorously tested at BPE’s facility to ensure compliance with client specifications and operational standards. Clients have the option to visit factory to witness FAT testing.

Startup and Training (SAT):
  • On-site support includes:
    • System startup and operational verification.
    • Training for client personnel on system operation, maintenance, and troubleshooting.
  • Field Services: Installation is guided by detailed engineering documentation provided by Burt Process. Field service installations can also be performed by Burt Process technicians upon request.
