Wastewater :
Liquid Abatement Technology
Eliminates Hazardous Copper Ions
WILMINGTON, MA -- BOC Edwards, a major supplier of
materials, equipment and services to the semiconductor
industry, has successfully completed a wastewater treatment
evaluation program with STMicroelectronics (ST), one of the
world's leading semiconductor manufacturers. The program
demonstrated exceptional results using CuNoSS (copper no
suspended solids), an innovative liquid abatement system
developed by BOC Edwards that removes copper ions (Cu2+)
from copper effluents (which also contain suspended solids,
oxidizers and organics).
The
four-month evaluation of the copper CMP abatement technology
was conducted at ST's Rousset, France site using effluent
generated by their 120nm copper process. Evaluation results
showed that the BOC Edwards' abatement solution removed
copper ions from waste streams to levels below rigorous
European environmental regulations without requiring solids
pre-filtration. The approach proved to be cost effective and
reduced overall water consumption compared to conventional
copper CMP abatement technologies.
"This
evaluation program was a beneficial exercise for both ST and
BOC Edwards," said Chris Case, chief technology officer at
BOC Edwards. "The CuNoSS technology has proven itself in a
demanding process environment, and will provide an excellent
abatement solution for IC manufacturers."
The
copper ions in copper CMP effluent streams are biocides,
chemical agents capable of destroying living organisms, that
have strict government regulated discharge limits. The
CuNoSS system utilizes proprietary fluidized bed technology
(patent pending) that removes copper ions without trapping
the suspended solids. This capability reduces overall
wastewater treatment costs because only one solids removal
system is required per fab. Furthermore, the system's
compact footprint easily fits into existing back pad
facilities, which is ideal for IC manufacturers converting
to copper. The abatement system is compatible with both
copper CMP waste streams and copper electroplating rinse
water, and is available in 15-, 30- and 45-gpm facility
configurations.
BOC
Edwards, part of The BOC Group plc, is a leading supplier of
materials, process-enabling subsystems and services to fabs
and OEMs involved in the manufacture of microelectronics
devices. Serving two million customers in more than 50
countries, The BOC Group is one of the largest and most
global of the world's leading gases companies, with annual
sales of over GBP 4.3 billion (more than US $7 billion) in
2003.

USAID : Group Forms Alliance for
Safe Drinking Water
 NEW
YORK, NY -- A strategic public-private collaboration devoted
to ensuring safe drinking water was officially launched
today at the United Nations' Commission on Sustainable
Development meeting in New York. The Safe Drinking Water
Alliance will receive $1.4 million over the next 18 months
from the U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID)
through the Global Development Alliance, an initiative to
promote partnerships such as this in the developing world.
USAID's financial contribution is leveraging substantial
in-kind and financial contributions from Procter & Gamble
(estimated at approximately $3.5 million), as well as
technical and program support resources from other partners.
The
Alliance is designed to develop innovative approaches for
ensuring the safety of drinking water. USAID, Johns Hopkins
Bloomberg School of Public Health/Center for Communication
Programs (CCP), CARE, Population Services International
(PSI), and Procter & Gamble joined forces to leverage their
respective expertise and resources to better understand the
behaviors and motivations for choosing particular
technologies for treating household water, to share the
knowledge gained, and identify opportunities for scaling up
successful efforts to ensure safe drinking water.
"We
are delighted to support the Safe Drinking Water Alliance to
help make water safe in Haiti, Pakistan, and elsewhere,"
said Holly Wise, director of USAID's Global Development
Alliance (GDA). "This unique public-private partnership
pools resources to attack a problem responsible for the
death of an estimated 5,000 children per day around the
globe, and USAID is proud to be a contributing partner."
About
1.1 billion people around the globe lack access to an
improved water source, and even for those who do, unsanitary
handling and storage means household water for drinking and
food preparation is often unsafe. Unsafe water, sanitation
and hygiene practices cause the vast majority of diarrheal
diseases, a leading killer of children under five that
accounts for approximately 2 million child deaths every
year. Water-borne infections such as cholera, typhoid fever,
and dysentery also burden the public health system and
impose significant economic losses.
Low-cost solutions can dramatically improve the quality of
existing household water used for drinking and cooking.
Procter & Gamble has developed a new product, PuR, which
purifies water using technology that has been found to be
effective in improving water quality and preventing disease
at the household level in developing countries. Reductions
of 30% to 50% in diarrheal disease have been documented
using such point-of-use treatment approaches, with even
higher reductions during epidemic water-borne disease
outbreaks.
The
Alliance will test the acceptance of P&G's water treatment
product using different approaches tailored to country need.
Using these technologies in combination with behavior change
strategies will help ensure safe water practices are
sustained at the household level over the long term.
The
Alliance members belong to the International Network to
Promote Household Water Treatment and Safe Storage, a global
network of more than 20 organizations that recognizes the
potential for using low-cost water quality interventions to
reduce the risk of diarrhea disease and death. The Alliance
will begin work in Pakistan, Haiti, and another
to-be-determined country where an emergency limits access to
safe drinking water.

Learning
:
Haestad Announces New Book+CD to Tackle Sewer System
Problems
 WATERBURY,
CT -- Haestad Press, a premier publisher of water
resources textbooks and modeling software, announced the
availability of its latest civil engineering textbook
entitled "Wastewater Collection Systems Modeling and
Design." This book guides its readers through the
model-building process and provides real-world
applications to address a variety of wastewater
challenges, including designing new systems, detecting and
correcting inefficiencies, and minimizing pumping costs in
systems.
"Wastewater Collection System
Modeling and Design provides a unique blend of the
principals and practice of engineering for academia and
professional engineers," said Gary Moore, P.E., Program
Manager for the Metropolitan St. Louis Sewer District.
"This text provides its readers with modeling guidance
that is both technically sound and relevant for improving
the performance of existing systems."
Adding to its practicality, the
textbook includes the latest versions of Haestad Methods'
SewerCAD software, the industry-standard package for
wastewater collection system design and analysis.
Engineers and students alike can maximize their learning
experience by utilizing the cutting-edge software together
with Wastewater Collection Systems Modeling and Design to
perform sanitary and wet weather loads, gravity and
pressure hydraulics, and analysis of multiple scenarios.
Hydraulic models are an
essential tool in understanding wastewater collection
system behavior for system design, operations,
rehabilitation, and demonstration of regulatory
compliance. "With the promulgation of new sanitary sewer
laws and regulations, sanitary sewer management plans are
a critical component in preventing and containing sanitary
sewer overflows," said John Haestad, President and CEO of
Haestad Methods. "Neglecting corrective action to bring
systems into compliance can have far-reaching
consequences, including polluted drinking water sources
and significant enforcement action."
Wastewater Collection Systems
Modeling and Design was developed for use by designers,
managers, regulators, and students. Each chapter concludes
with exercises that can be completed by professionals for
continuing education credits and by students to reinforce
the material. The book brings together the experiences of
an international team of experts from both academia and
consulting.
