BOC Gases constructing on-site nitrogen generator at MEMC
Murray Hill, NJ
BOC Gases has begun constructing a SPECTRA-N 3000 on-site nitrogen generator for MEMC Electronic Materials, Inc. (St. Peters, MO). A long-time BOC customer, MEMC is in the process of an expansion that will increase its wafer manufacturing capacity while reducing unit costs. In addition to on-site nitrogen, BOC also will supply bulk trichlorosilane and bulk hydrogen chloride. Construction is scheduled to be completed in early 1997. BOC?s line of SPECTRA-N nitrogen generators provides ultra high-purity nitrogen at varying flow rates, depending on usage, and operates on a patented vapor recompression system that affords significant power savings. A computer control system optimizes gas and liquid production for additional savings. – SES
