Managing Water Infrastructure For Semiconductor Fabs: Challenges And Opportunities In The CHIPS Act Era
Almost all freshwater entering a fab will leave as wastewater, and that wastewater needs to go somewhere.
This pace of re-tooling will require the WRRF to stay nimble to ensure that any upgrades or adjustments made to infrastructure are completed in time to accept and effectively treat the new fab wastewater. Many communities have successfully found a happy balance between technological innovation and effective wastewater treatment and reuse (Chandler, Arizona; Albuquerque, New Mexico; Tyler, Texas; Boise, Idaho; Malta, New York; and Hillsboro, Oregon come to mind). He played a key role in designing and constructing ultrapure water, wastewater treatment, and recycling systems, and has extensive experience negotiating win-win solutions between fab owners and municipalities.
