Ultrapure water is defined by end use. It is often clarified even to remove negatively charged ions. While it is ideal for rinsing chips or creating steam, it generally would be a toxic brew if consumed by humans. However, a version called water for injection (WFI) is used by the pharmaceutical industry in the drugs which are injected into the human body.

An ultrapure water system requires removal of the smallest particles withreverse osmosis. A system typically includes ion-exchange or the increasingly popular electrodeionization. Special pumps and piping are necessary to prevent contamination.

Electronics and power are the two big industry segments. Asia dominates thesemiconductor, flat panel display, memory storage and photovoltaic manufacturing industries. Asia is the only continent with a big new coal-fired boiler generation program.

The semiconductor market continues to replace obsolete facilities with new ones. The related photovoltaic industry with substantial needs for ultrapure water is growing at double-digit rates.
