Minimize Bath Concentration

Description

  • Use the minimum chemical concentration necessary in the process bath

Advantages / Limitations

  • Less contamination of the rinse water occurs, with equal drag-out volume
  • Less chemical loss from process bath
  • Solutions with lower chemical concentrations typically have lower viscosity, which results in less drag-out volume

Implementation Process

  • Determine the minimum chemical concentration necessary for each bath
  • Regularly monitor the chemistry, and maintain it at that minimum concentration
