Case Study: LG Electronics Selects HERO Demineralized Water And UPW System For Waste Water Reduction
LG Electronics (LGE), the Korean electronics and digital giant, recently commissioned its fourth Plasma Display Panel (PDP) line, A#3 at their South Korean Display Workplace. Reflecting their confidence in the global PDP market, LGE was determined to concentrate its core capabilities on building A#3, which is capable of producing 12,000 units a month. The PDP A#3 project is built on a 1,256,200 square meters at Gumi City in South Korea.
LGE established the A#3 line as the most competitive and sophisticated line of its type of the world. For the first time, the line will be equipped with a mass production system capable of producing six panels from a single sheet of glass and the line will harness additional innovative technologies and process.
The Problem
In order to expedite the PDP manufacturing process and to ensure good quality of PDPs by mid 2005 LGE needed to reduce normal wastewater quantity. LG Electronics selected a Demineralized water and UPW system and began their evaluation process for a suitable vendor.
The Solution
After analyzing the past performance and continuing results of Aquatech International Corporation's water treatment systems at the A#1 and A#2 sites, LGE selected Aquatech's Demineralized Water (featuring HERO/Sandwich Mixed Bed) and UPW system. Aquatech's design featured five filters, six Weak Acid Cation
(WAC) units, six skids of HERO RO's and six Sandwiched Mixed Beds (SMB) which are divided into two trains.
