Detailed Case Studies
Water Reduced by 7.2 Million Gallons Annually
NXP Semiconductor and Nalco Water team up to save water, reduce operating costs and improve results.
Semiconductor Fab Saves $111,348 Annually
Semiconductor fab reduces air handler electrical consumption by 11.5%. With their total kWh reduced by 1.22 million, 900 tons of CO2 reduced they saved $111,348 annually.
Saving More Than Just Data
Greenhouse gas reduction exceeding 3,369 tons/year of CO2/year and 7,000,000 gallons of water saved.
Our Capabilities
Air Handlers
Nalco Water’s COIL-FLO™ coil cleaning services improve HVAC coil efficiency and air quality resulting in “more air, cooler air”. We provide end-to-end data driven energy assessment and cleaning of the air coils, freeing up your staff’s time, while executing reliably, safely and professionally.
Process Cooling Water (PCW)
Nalco Water’s emphasis on controlling scale, corrosion, and microbio in Process Cooling Water helps protect the water that provides a reliable manufacturing environment in the fab, to help ensure consistent production.
Cooling Water Systems
Nalco Water’s cooling water technologies enable microelectronics fabrication facilities to use reclaimed process rinse waters as cooling tower make-up and, in certain cases, eliminate the use of fresh water for cooling towers – all with assured asset preservation.
Analytical Support Capabilities
Nalco Water’s global analytical support enables faster, more thorough troubleshooting and problem resolution.
Ultra-Pure Water
Nalco Water’s PermaCare product line and control technologies help prevent Reverse Osmosis (RO) problems and ensure high quality permeate, as well extending membrane life and reliability.
Water Safety
From Legionella testing, and inspection of cooling towers to cleaning and disinfecting and the certification supporting a cooling tower water management plan, Nalco Water’s Water Safety Protocol provides a complete water safety solution.
