White Paper: Advances In Instrumentation Used To Monitor High-Purity Water Treatment Systems

By David M. Gray, Thornton Inc.

High-purity water treatment technology has progressed and changed significantly in recent years. Major trends include the wider variety of membrane processes driving an increasing share of purification, more use of reclaimed and recycled water, and treatment systems with more user-friendly interface. In addition, industry pure water requirements have also changed. The semiconductor industry has more stringent ultrapure water limits as well as process-specific requirements. All of these changes have raised challenges for the associated instrumentation.
