FabChem™

A complete line of Bulk Chemical Delivery Systems (CDS) for the pure and automatic dispense of acids, bases, and solvents to Points-of-Use (POUs). Designed for high uptime and reliability.

Ensuring safe and reliable high-purity chemical fluid distribution and monitoring for the electronics industry.

Key Benefits of FabChem™ CDS

Reliability and Cost of Ownership

  • Built for an extended lifecycle (25 years or more), minimizing CAPEX, lowering OPEX/T.C.O. (Total Cost of Ownership), and reducing the ecological footprint.
  • Includes multiple back-up modes to ensure high uptime and reliability.
  • Provides pure, large, and automatic dispense of chemical fluids, including acids, bases, and solvents.

Ease of Maintenance

Our equipment is designed to be highly reliable and maintenance-friendly:

  • Accessibility: Components are easily accessible via a large door, with filters at man's height and centrifugal pumps placed in front of the cabinet.
  • Automation: Pre-programmed automatic maintenance sequences (like rinsing and chemical qualification) avoid manual operator intervention inside the cabinets.
  • Uptime: Operators can bypass digital and analog sensors in case of defect to allow for sensor replacement without system shut down.

Modularity and Flexibility

The systems are highly modular, allowing for easy, multi-stage upgrades:

  • Capacity Increase: Easily upgrade from 200L drums to 1000L IBCs or Bulk supply, or connect a second distribution system for redundancy and capacity increase.
  • Network Extension: Simple extension of the distribution network using T-Boxes with multiple branches, flow-through VMBs, and extension boxes.
  • Fine-Tuning: A high number of available parameters allows for easy "fine tuning" of the equipment.

The FabChem™ Bulk Chemical Delivery Systems (CDS) Product Line

Our FabChem™ CDS product line is designed to meet various needs across chemical grades, consumptions and flow rates, featuring two main dispense types: N2 pressure or pumps. The range includes systems for low-volume drum dispense up to high-volume bulk delivery.

  • FabChem™1000: Low-volume drum dispense (diaphragm pump), for low consumption (1,000 liters/day). Typical Flow Rate: 10 liters/minute. Particle specifications: <10 particles @ 0.2µm/ml.
  • FabChem™2000: Daytank pressure dispense, for medium consumption (2,000 liters/day). Typical Flow Rate: 20 liters/minute.
  • FabChem™3000: Daytank pumped dispense for medium consumption (5,000 liters/day). Typical Flow Rate: 20 liters/minute.
  • Dual FabChem™2000: Dual Daytank pressure dispense for high consumption (10,000 liters/day). Typical Flow Rate: 30 to 50 liters/minute. Particle specifications: <2 particles @ 0.1µm/ml.
  • FabChem™6000: Centrifugal pump dispense for high consumption (10,000 liters/day). Typical Flow Rate: 30 to 50 liters/minute. Particle specifications: <2 particles @ 0.1µm/ml.

Mid-Range Solutions (FabChem™ 2000 & 3000)

These systems are ideal for applications requiring microelectronic quality and medium reliability (24/7) at medium flow rates (~20 l/min).

  • FabChem™ 2000 (Pressure Dispense): Uses pressure dispense to eliminate strokes in filters. Includes one back-up mode and an integrated cabinet for reduced, easy maintenance.
  • FabChem™ 3000 (Pump Dispense): Features a dual pump dispense and several back up modes. Offers easy maintenance and an integrated cabinet.

High-End Solutions (Dual FabChem™ 2000 & FabChem™ 6000)

These systems meet the highest reliability and high-flow rate requirements (~50 l/min).

  • Dual FabChem™ 2000: Achieves high reliability and flow with two redundant dispense lines and pressurized tanks, many back up modes (including  dispense forcing w/o PLC) , and high Kv components. Pressure dispense ensures no pressure fluctuations.
  • FabChem™ 6000 (Dual Centrifugal Pump): Uses a dual centrifugal pump dispense with one back up mode (dispense forcing w/o PLC) and high Kv components for high reliability.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

What is the particle specification and high-purity delivery capability of FabChem™ Chemical Delivery Systems for the electronics industry?

FabChem™ CDS are engineered for ultra-high purity chemical fluid distribution in the electronics industry. High-end models like the Dual FabChem™ 2000 and FabChem™ 6000 achieve superior particle specifications of <2 particles @ 0.1µm/ml. These systems reliably dispense acids, bases, and solvents.

How does the FabChem™ CDS design ensure high uptime and long-term reliability for 24/7 operations worldwide?

The FabChem™ CDS product line is designed for longevity, with some units operating for over 25 years, minimizing Total Cost of Ownership (T.C.O.). Reliability is maximized through multiple back-up modes and maintenance-friendly features like easily accessible components. High-end options, such as the Dual FabChem™ 2000, feature two redundant dispense lines and tanks for guaranteed continuous high-flow operation.

Which FabChem™ model is best for high-consumption chemical delivery and high-flow rate applications?

The Dual FabChem™ 2000 and FabChem™ 6000 models are specifically designed for high consumption, handling 10,000 liters/day, and high flow rate capacity, ranging from 20 to 50 liters/minute.

Material Advantages and Expert Support

  • Enhanced Safety and Purity with Roto-Moulded Tanks

    FabChem systems often utilize Day and Storage tanks made of HDPE and PVDF, which are a less expensive and highly reliable solution compared to competitors' PFA and PTFE tanks. Roto-moulded HDPE tanks offer superior reliability by having no weldings, which significantly minimizes the risk of leaks and reduces the risk of contamination.

  • Community of Practice Support

    Customers benefit from the EL TGCM Community of Practice, which provides strong and rapid support for technical issues, troubleshooting assistance, and expert guidance for design optimization. This collaboration is a worldwide driver for design optimization and ensures operational excellence.
