Active Water Management drives efficiency and long-term impact at a semiconductor facility

Before AVM

  • System owners struggled to identify opportunities for continuous cost improvement
  • No consistent framework to understand the current state and plan necessary actions
  • KPl’s and risks were monitored reactively
  • Long-term planning lacked data and confidence
  • Visibility was fragmented and backward-looking

After AWM

  • Opportunities identified including a 50% reduction n cooling tower blowdown
  • Monthly simulations flagged issues early, tracked critical KPIs and center operational cadence or rape response
  • YoY reuse rate improvements for 5 years
  • Clear roadmap for continuous improvement
  • Quarterly projections supported site ramp-up while individual systems and the infrastructure operated within capacity

The FTD Active Water Management approach transformed water management from a reactive, people driven activity into a proactive, data-driven system—enabling smarter decisions, future-proof planning, and measureable savings across operations.
