Functional Water is a type of Ultrapure Water that has a small amount of pure gas added to it. Ultrapure water (UPW) or highly purified water (HPW) refers to water that has undergone a rigorous purification process to meet exceptionally high standards for purity. In manufacturing, the term ‘Ultrapure’ is commonly used to indicate that the water is treated to a high level of purity to remove all types of contaminants. These contaminants include but are not limited to organic and inorganic compounds; volatile, non-volatile, reactive, and inert matter; particulate and dissolved matter; dissolved gasses; and hydrophilic and hydrophobic matter. Functional Water System Supplier Ultrapure water is considered ‘aggressive’ since it is an active absorber due to the absence of minerals in it. This characteristic gives it the ability to dissolve substances that it comes into contact with. A small concentration of certain pure gasses can significantly increase this property. This can be advantageous for various production tasks, mainly in the semiconductor component cleaning process. The benefits and proper usage of functional water are determined by the type of gas that is dissolved in Ultrapure Water. One of the major production benefits of using functional water systems is that they have virtually zero chemical consumption making them more sustainable, eco-friendly, and cost-effective. Functional Water is a popular choice in many industries because its properties can be manipulated depending on the gas that is dissolved in it. Inquivix Technologies has systems that use Ozone, Ammonia, and Hydrogen as the gas, and each of these gases provides different benefits.
