Editor's Notes
- Background : Intel purchases fresh water from the City of Chandler, and uses most of it to produce ultra pure water for its manufacturing processes. Once used, this water is still suitable for a number of on-site and off-site reuse and recycling programs. Intel’s Ocotillo Campus demand for water is well positioned with advanced water conservation strategies for optimizing recycling and water conservation practices. Cleaning silicon wafers during fabrication is one of the largest uses of water in Intel’s factories. Intel purchases fresh water from the City and turns most of it into ultra pure water for use in manufacturing. Once used, this water is still suitable for several on-site and off-site reuse and recycling programs. Intel and Chandler’s strong partnership has made it possible to implement a progressive water management system over the past decade which maximizes water conservation and reduces use of fresh potable by millions of gallons each day. Overall water conservation performance is achieved through the following 3 key approaches: Chandler Reverse Osmosis Water Treatment Facility - AQUIFER RECHARGE Our Arizona site has a unique partnership with the City of Chandler which operates an Intel funded treatment process. Using reverse osmosis (RO) technologies, the wastewater from Fab 12, 22, and 32 are treated to drinking water standards and re-charged to the underground aquifer to replenish the groundwater supply in Chandler. Since 1996, this water conservation strategy alone has resulted in over 3.5 billion gallons of water put back into the aquifer by Intel. This water conservation strategy supports a key City of Chandler effort to store water in the underground aquifer to assure the city has enough water to meet the future needs of all citizens and businesses for many more years even if the drought continues. Reuse of wastewater – RECLAIM Additionally, Intel over the past decade has utilized over 4.5 billions of gallons of treated wastewater from Chandler’s Ocotillo Water Reclamation Facility in cooling towers, scrubbers, and landscaping avoiding the use of fresh potable supply. Each and every day of the year, the Arizona site takes back millions of gallons of processed wastewater from the City of Chandler sewage treatment plant to supply water to our cooling towers, operate our air abatement equipment, support the site landscaping, and irrigate the farm fields around the Ocotillo site. Internal water recycling - RECYLCE The use of advanced technologies such as RO and a Brine Evaporation System allows the Fab 22 Ultra Pure Water (UPW) system to operate as one of Intel’s most efficient high purity water treatment facilities, producing approximately 0.85 gallons of UPW for every gallon of fresh city water saving millions of gallons of water each year.
