The advantages of SAT CDS over the older methods, like canister and bottles, include: better safety, less spilling and not having to rinse bottles before recycling or return. Semiconductor fabs, Pharmaceutical and medical device are using this method and the advantages include:
● CDS can be custom made as per customer's design and requirements
● Full control impurity levels
● Improved safety
● Less cleanroom space due to space-saver designs
● Lower cost per unit volume of chemical
● Low cost in chemical handling
● Reduced container disposal costs
● SAT manufactures all the spare parts installed inside the CDS, including the pumps, which means very competitive prices of the equipment
In the semiconductor fabs, the typical chemicals distributed by SAT CDS are:
● Organic solvents
● Process cleaning chemicals
● Photolithography chemicals
● Chemicals in general
The safety using the SAT CDS include:
● Double back-up pump is installed, no risk of failure
● Secondary containment in supply lines is crucial to protect against leaks
● Returnable vessels are used to mitigate the hazards of cleaning and disposing of chemicals vessels
● Kit sensors Leak detection are installed inside the CDS and along the piping
