Speed and confidence in construction for a semiconductor megafab

Before AVM

  • Rural site and new chemistries introduced high complexity and uncertainty
  • Freshwater limitations posed a risk to startup and ramp timelines
  • Discharge constraints made it difficult to choose the right water treatment technologies
  • Plans were evolving faster than the end-users existing systems could adapt
  • No centralized tool to assess sitewide risk and opportunity

After AVM

  • A clear picture of the entire scheme including fows and chemistry information that supported successful negotiations with the municipality
  • Several reuse options were simulated and a phased approach was selected to ensure the site remained within infrastructure capacity at start-up and as the site ramps
  • Scenario modeling guided treatment selection optimized for compliance, cost and reliability
  • WMA enabled fast analysis of the impacts of changes
  • Roadmap unified deployment from startup through ramp

 

FTD empowered the client to move forward faster in construction-confident their water management approach would meet operational needs, ensure compliance, and control costs.
