I.Overview
PLC (Programmable Logic Controller) serves as the control hub and intelligent decision-making core in ultra-pure water (UPW) systems. Through real-time data acquisition, multi-variable coordinated control, and fault diagnosis, it ensures water quality consistently meets the semiconductor-grade standard of 18.2 MΩ·cm. In ultra-pure water systems, PLCs have evolved from basic automation to intelligent decision-making hubs. In advanced processes below 3nm, their control precision (e.g., TOC ±0.05 ppb) directly determines chip yield rates.
II.Process
Raw Water → Raw Water Tank → Booster Pump → Flocculant/Reducer Dosing → Activated Carbon Filter → Ultrafiltration (UF) → Scale Inhibitor Dosing → Security Filter → 1st Stage High-Pressure Pump → 1st Stage RO → pH Adjustment → Intermediate Tank → 2nd Stage High-Pressure Pump → 2nd Stage RO → Purified Water Tank → EDI Booster Pump → UV Sterilizer → Cartridge Filter → EDI System → Ultra-Pure Water Tank → Transfer Pump → TOC Removal Unit → Polishing Resin → Final Filter → Point of Use

IV.Here is a guideline for you to get a proper quotation
Tell us the raw water/source of water(tap water, well water, or sea water, etc)
Provide water analysis report(TDS , conductivity, or resistivity, etc)
Required production capacity( 5m³/H, 50m³/H,or 500m³/H, etc)
What's the pure water used for( industrial,Food and Beverage,or agriculture, etc )
