From Conventional RO to Stable High Recovery: How FR-RO Delivers 96% Recovery for a Tier 1 Semiconductor Facility

A full-scale FR-RO system transformed UPW production at a leading semiconductor plant in Malaysia, achieving ultra-high recovery, lower city water demand, and consistent water quality for microelectronics manufacturing.

• Increased recovery from 75–80% with conventional RO to a stable 96%

• Delivered ultrapure water at <2 µS/cm, exceeding the industry requirement of <5 µS/cm

• Operated for more than 12 months without any CIP events

• Reduced city water demand by 42 GPM, equal to more than 22 million gallons annually
