TAIPEI, Taiwan – August 7, 2025 – Gradiant, a global leader in advanced water and wastewater treatment solutions, will participate in SEMICON Taiwan 2025, taking place September 10–12 in Taipei under the theme “Leading with Collaboration. Innovating the World.” As the semiconductor industry continues its rapid growth, the need for sustainable and high-performance water management has become more urgent than ever. Gradiant’s presence at this year’s event reflects its commitment to solving the most important water challenges facing fabs today and tomorrow.
Gradiant will exhibit at TaiNEX Hall 2, 4F, Reclaimed Water Technology Pavilion, Booth R7623.
On September 10, Gradiant will sponsor and participate in the Sustainability Summit—one of SEMICON Taiwan’s flagship events—bringing together industry leaders, technology experts, and sustainability pioneers to explore the latest advancements in environmental technologies for semiconductor manufacturing. Gradiant will lead the conversation with a spotlight on its breakthrough solutions for PFAS removal and destruction, addressing one of the most urgent challenges fabs around the world are confronting today.
Advanced Water Solutions for the Semiconductor Industry
Gradiant is the industry leader in developing innovative water treatment technologies that cater to the unique needs of the semiconductor industry. As fabs scale and technologies evolve, manufacturers face intensifying pressure to manage water more efficiently, meet strict regulatory standards, and reduce their environmental impact. Gradiant’s full-technology stack of end-to-end solutions addresses these challenges with precision and innovation, enabling water reuse, ultrapure water (UPW) production, PFAS removal and destruction, and resource recovery. Gradiant’s solutions include:
- Advanced Membrane Systems for high recovery water recycling and ultrapure water (UPW) production, including RO Infinity with CFRO - an advanced platform of membrane-based solutions to allow higher recovery rates and more efficient use of water, reducing the overall water footprint of semiconductor fabs.
- Resource Recovery from wastewater often contains valuable metals and chemicals that may be recovered and reused. Gradiant’s proven solutions for IPA recovery bring sustainability to semiconductor manufacturing and reduce operations and waste disposal costs.
- Minimum and Zero Liquid Discharge (MLD and ZLD) to maximize operations efficiency and limit the volume of wastewater generated from fab operations. Gradiant’s technologies recover up to 99% of liquid discharge, resulting in lower freshwater withdrawals and fewer solids for disposal.
- SmartOps AI for the Control, Predict, and Perform of water treatment facilities. Machine learning AI algorithms result in immediate cost and productivity improvements to water and wastewater operations.
These solutions help semiconductor manufacturers achieve their sustainability goals and ensure compliance with stringent environmental regulations, while reducing operational costs and enhancing process efficiency.
PFAS Removal and Destruction with ForeverGone
A rapidly growing concern in semiconductor wastewater is the presence of per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS)—known as "forever chemicals" for their persistence and potential health risks. Gradiant addresses this head-on with ForeverGone, the industry’s only all-in-one solution for the complete removal and permanent destruction of PFAS.
Where most technologies simply transfer PFAS from one phase to another (e.g., from water to solid), ForeverGone goes further—destroying PFAS into harmless byproducts of CO₂ and water, eliminating the need for off-site disposal by incineration or landfilling.
Gradiant’s PFAS solutions are already being tested and implemented across Asia, the United States, and Europe, helping semiconductor manufacturers stay ahead of tightening environmental regulations and reduce reputational and compliance risks.
Gradiant’s Participation at SEMICON Taiwan
At the Sustainability Summit, Steven Lam, Gradiant’s Global Head of Technology, will present “From Regulation to Innovation: Tackling PFAS in Semiconductor Water Management” on Sept 10, covering how Gradiant’s advanced PFAS destruction technology has evolved in the year since Taiwan introduced new PFAS regulations. The session will showcase real-world results from leading semiconductor fabs and other industries, demonstrating how ForeverGone enables compliance, environmental protection, and sustainable water management across sectors.
Hanson Huang, Gradiant’s Sales Director for Taiwan, will present “Innovative Semiconductor Water Treatment Solutions for Advanced Processes,” offering insights into the evolving landscape of semiconductor water management and sharing case studies from fabs worldwide. As semiconductor production becomes more complex, Gradiant’s technologies are empowering manufacturers to scale sustainably and operate more efficiently.
Gradiant’s participation at SEMICON Taiwan highlights its position at the forefront of sustainable semiconductor manufacturing. As the industry faces increasing environmental demands, Gradiant’s technologies are helping fabs transform water management into a competitive advantage.
