Extreme purity, simplicity,
constant quality, zero discharge
Xzero system for Ultra Pure Water (UPW).
Xzero has developed a full system for manufacture of ultra-pure water.
Our equipment was selected for a test of recovery systems for semiconductor rinse waters in an evaluation program sponsored by the US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and the US joint semiconductor research effort (Sematech) and carried out by Sandia National Laboratories in the US (www.sandia.gov).
Silica, TOC or any type of contaminants that other systems may find difficult to remove are easy for our system. It is the total solution to any water problem and to any problem water.
After evaluation of the test Intel expressed an interest for a demo unit.
Since the tests were made at Sandia Xzero has been working on the development of the technology. This has involved long time testing of the equipment, optimising the production methods and improving the system design. Furthermore, occupation has been endowed on efficiency of water and energy consumption, development of other equipment needed, membranes and new materials and manufacturing methods. This development work will be protected with patents.
We had our first full scale test unit ready in 2006. An long time demonstration test was made at a Thermal Power Plant in Idbäcken (Sweden) by Vattenfall AB and the Royal Institute of Technology. The test results generated a positive report published by Värmeforsk.
Currently we are building a demonstration unit expected on line in September 2008.
