Save the Date: UPW Micro 2011 Planned for Nov. 2-3

Online, August 10, 2011 (Newswire.com) - ULTRAPURE WATER Micro(UPW Micro) will focus on key issues related to water used in the semiconductor, flat panel display, and solar industries. The annual conference will be conducted November 2-3 at the Red Lion Hotel on Jantzen Beach in Portland, Ore.

The opening session will include a presentation on business aspects of the water and microelectronics industries that will be followed by technical papers on key issues related to semiconductor-grade high-purity water treatment. ULTRAPURE WATER Micro began in 1998, and has been conducted in Portland, Austin, and Phoenix over the years.

The 2011 meeting will have sessions covering these four areas:
*Emerging Needs for Semiconductor and PV Manufacturing
*Technology Development/Innovation'
*Water Management
*Metrology

Among specific technical paper topics to be addressed include ion-exchange resin selection, reverse osmosis system design, trace urea removal, sustainable water management programs, sensor technology advances, particle removal, water recovery, and organics speciation in semiconductor water.

There is still space for a small number of additional presentations. Interested authors may submit technical papers to Mike Henley at [email protected]. An abstract submission form is available at http://www.talloaks.com/Conferences/PDF/CallForPapersMicro2011.pdf.
