Ovivo has Successfully Completed the UPW Expansion Project at the SUNY Poly CNSE Albany NanoTech Complex

MONTREAL, July 7, 2015 /CNW Telbec/ - Ovivo Inc. ("Ovivo") has completed the delivery of a state of the art Ultrapure Water ("UPW") plant expansion for the new 450mm cleanroom facilities at SUNY Polytechnic Institute's Colleges of Nanoscale Science and Engineering ("SUNY Poly CNSE"). The $20 billion SUNY Poly CNSE Albany NanoTech Complex, located in Albany, New York, is home to the world's first Global 450mm Consortium, a 450mm wafer and equipment development program announced by Governor Andrew M. Cuomo which is leveraging industry and government investments to demonstrate 450mm process capabilities and drive next-generation innovation. This contract, worth approximately $6 million Canadian, was obtained in August 2014 and the UPW plant was commissioned in June 2015.

The UPW Plant consists of various processes to produce the highest level of ultrapure water, such as activated carbon filtration, reverse osmosis, ultraviolet irradiation, ion exchange, membrane degasification and micro-filtration.

Ovivo has achieved customer satisfaction with SUNY Polytechnic Institute by delivering the project ahead of schedule and exceeding the treated water specifications.
