Creating silicon wafer microstructures,
integrated circuits, and processors require an extensive multi-step process
that consists of etching, stripping and cleaning silicon wafers.
Chemicals like sulfuric acid, hydrochloric acid, and hydrogen peroxide can carry out these operations effectively but they give off vapor and fumes that can be harmful to workers inside and outside the workspace. There are also regulatory compliances issues for a safe working environment and for emissions to the outside environment. Acidic vapors coming from the wet process stations consist of tiny droplets, which can be extremely corrosive and can negatively impact the health of workers when inhaled. This requires the use of acid fume scrubbers which remove harmful vapors from the air to leave a clean workspace and clean air that can be discharged outside the manufacturing facility. Modutek provides acid fume scrubbers that have a high level of efficiency and low cost of operation as well.

How do Modutek’s acid fume scrubbers work to keep the work environment free of these harmful vapors? They neutralize the acid vapors and clean the exhaust air so that it is no longer dangerous for workers or harmful for the environment. The exhaust air containing the acid vapors is first passed over a bed of wet packing material, which has a special liquid that includes a chemical that safely neutralizes the acid. The acidic mist passes over the wet packing bed, where the acid is neutralized and absorbed from the exhaust air. The air that goes out of the scrubbers contains only faint traces of acid that is safe to discharge in the air.
The effectiveness of the scrubbers depends on the volume of air the scrubbers must “clean” as well as the surface area of the wet packing. Modutek’s high-efficiency acid fume scrubbers can help keep your work environment clean and healthy.
