As billions of dollars in promised funding flood the U.S. semiconductor industry, manufacturers are increasingly turning their attention to a key issue: Water usage.  In the U.S. — where domestic chip manufacturing capacity could triple by 2032— water sustainability isn’t just a PR strategy. It’s central to both success and survival. “Water is actually the largest volume chemical used in semiconductor manufacturing,” said Paul Westerhoff, a regents professor in Arizona State University’s School of Sustainable Engineering and the Built Environment.

Industry Solutions Company (ISC) supports semiconductor and advanced manufacturing facilities by designing innovative, application-specific water treatment and recovery solutions that reduce freshwater intake, minimize wastewater discharge, and improve overall system efficiency. Our team of water scientists and engineers works directly with facility operators to optimize high-purity water systems, enhance reuse and recovery strategies, and reduce waste across the full water lifecycle—without compromising process reliability or product quality.
Because every facility’s water chemistry, process demand, and regulatory environment is unique, ISC delivers custom-engineered solutions developed through direct technical consultation.
