These new products are key industrial water treatment materials and together with ion exchange resin play a primary role in removing impurities by high-performance filters and electricity in the production of ultrapure water for semiconductors, displays, and electronic products. With the rapidly increasing demand for ultrapure water for semiconductors, the market for RO membranes and EDI is growing fast.
Trilite RO membrane offers high performance removal of salt and organic matter, as well as high permeability and durability. It is a product specifically designed for brackish water, which contains less salt than seawater.
Trilite EDI is a device that continuously produces pure and ultrapure water through electricity. It is an eco-friendly product that does not use chemical materials and does not discharge wastewater. The long water flow pathprovides stable operation as well as outlet water quality despite fluctuations in inlet water conditions.
By launching its RO membrane and EDI, along with its ion exchange resin, Samyanghas established a core water treatment materials line-up for ultrapure water production. The company has also added new features to TriAngle, a self-developed software for designing ion exchange resin systems, including the design systems for RO membranes and EDI.
This provides an optimal combination for designing a water treatment system based on users’ needs.
Samyang has also established a 'Water Solutions PU (Performance Unit)', a dedicated organisation in charge of the water treatment business within Samyang's chemical group. Starting with the expansion of Trilite product lines, Samyang plans to strengthen its product portfolio through continuous R&D and to solidify its position in the global semiconductor market including in the US, Europe, Japan, China, and Southeast Asia based on its established global sales network for ion exchange resin.
Cho Young Do, head of Samyang's Water Solutions PU, said, "The global water treatment market is continuously growing because of the recent deepening of water stress through environmental pollution as well as growing ultrapure water demands by the growth of the semiconductor, display, and electronic industries."
