Domestic semiconductor companies such as Samsung Electronics and SK Hynix, as well as global firms like TSMC, are facing threats of water shortages, prompting government involvement. Amid this situation, Hanseong Cleantec, which is advancing the localization of ultrapure water production technology, is collaborating on joint technology development with Japan's G FORCE JAPAN (G Force Japan), a company possessing ultrafast centrifuge technology.

Hanseong Cleantec announced on the 26th that it signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) for technical cooperation and equipment supply at G Force Japan's headquarters in Nagoya, Japan.

Through this MOU, Hanseong Cleantec will jointly develop technology to reuse high-concentration silicon wastewater and concentrates generated from various industries, and will prioritize supplying ultrafast centrifuge equipment to the domestic market.

In particular, by separating fine particle components that are difficult to recover and solidifying various waste liquids to reuse wastewater, the company plans to improve water shortage issues and expand applications across diverse fields. This will create a sustainable circular economy cycle through the virtuous cycle of resources and contribute to ESG management.

Additionally, Hanseong Cleantec is promoting the development of technologies necessary for ultrapure water production, wastewater reuse, and recycling of silicon and secondary battery waste liquids. They have secured activated carbon production technology that replaces activated carbon filters used in ultrapure water pretreatment processes with bamboo material and are currently conducting further performance verification.

Park Jong-woon, CEO of Hanseong Cleantec, stated, "We will rapidly supply localized technology to advanced industrial sectors that require ultrapure water production technology," adding, "The company is mobilizing all its capabilities in materials, parts, and equipment development."

He further added, "This MOU will accelerate the timing of securing wastewater reuse and resource recycling technologies in preparation for water shortages."
