Description
本發明是關於將超純水製造裝置例如新設啟動時所使用的超純水製造裝置之啟動方法、及可運用該啟動方法之超純水製造裝置。The present invention relates to a startup method of an ultrapure water production device used when starting up an ultrapure water production device, for example, a new ultrapure water production device, and an ultrapure water production device that can use the startup method.
在半導體的製程等所利用之超純水製造裝置,是藉由包含前往使用點(使用場所)之被處理水的流路及各種處理裝置之水處理系統,將在流路上流動的被處理水實施水處理而獲得超純水。這種超純水製造裝置,主要具備有一次純水製造部及二次純水製造部。一次純水製造部,是例如使用將原水中的懸浮物質除去之前處理部、及將前處理水中的總有機碳(TOC)成分、離子成分除去之逆滲透膜裝置、離子交換裝置,來製造一次純水。另一方面,二次純水製造部,是將殘留於一次純水中之微粒子、膠體物質、有機物、金屬、陰離子等除去,藉此製造二次純水(超純水)。The ultrapure water production device used in the semiconductor manufacturing process, etc., obtains ultrapure water by treating the treated water flowing in the flow path through a water treatment system including a flow path for the treated water to the use point (place of use) and various treatment devices. This ultrapure water production device mainly has a primary pure water production section and a secondary pure water production section. The primary pure water production section uses, for example, a reverse osmosis membrane device or an ion exchange device to remove the total organic carbon (TOC) component and ion component in the pre-treated water before removing the suspended matter in the raw water. On the other hand, the secondary pure water production department removes the microparticles, colloids, organic matter, metals, anions, etc. remaining in the primary pure water to produce secondary pure water (ultrapure water).
在此,為了將超純水製造裝置例如新設啟動,在其設置場所進行超純水製造裝置之例如組裝作業的情況,會發生:對上述水處理系統內之微粒子、生菌、總有機碳成分的混入、來自構成被處理水的流路之配管之金屬成分的溶析等之問題。於是,作為其對策,在超純水製造裝置的通常運轉之前,是將超純水製造裝置內之水處理系統事先洗淨(例如參照專利文獻1)。 [先前技術文獻] [專利文獻]Here, in order to start up a new ultrapure water production device, for example, when the ultrapure water production device is assembled at its installation site, problems such as the mixing of microparticles, bacteria, and total organic carbon components in the water treatment system and the dissolution of metal components from the pipes constituting the flow path of the treated water may occur. Therefore, as a countermeasure, the water treatment system in the ultrapure water production device is cleaned in advance before the normal operation of the ultrapure water production device (for example, refer to Patent Document 1).

[發明所欲解決之問題][The problem the invention is trying to solve]
然而,縱使長期間持續進行上述洗淨持之後,在超純水製造裝置所製造之超純水,仍會有不合所期望的製造規格的情形。例如,當超純水製造裝置內之配管類的連接處等被繁雜地連接的情況、設置超純水製造裝置的環境之清淨性有問題的情況,例如粒徑較大之金屬粒子、砂等,會有以被配置於使用點的前段之超濾膜裝置等捕捉的狀態存在於水處理系統內的情形。這時,金屬粒子等的成分之溶析在水處理系統內長期間持續,結果使所製造之超純水的水質成為持續惡化的狀態。However, even after the above-mentioned cleaning is continued for a long period of time, the ultrapure water produced by the ultrapure water production device may still not meet the desired manufacturing specifications. For example, when the piping connections in the ultrapure water production device are complicatedly connected, or when the cleanliness of the environment in which the ultrapure water production device is installed is problematic, for example, metal particles and sand with larger particle sizes may be captured by the ultrafiltration membrane device at the front end of the use point and exist in the water treatment system. In this case, the dissolution of components such as metal particles continues for a long time in the water treatment system, resulting in the continuous deterioration of the water quality of the produced ultrapure water.

以下,參照圖式說明本發明的實施形態。如圖1所示般,本實施形態的超純水製造裝置10,是將被處理水實施水處理而獲得超純水的裝置,其所具備的水處理系統15係包含:前處理部12、一次純水製造部14、被處理水的流路31、貯槽16、二次純水製造部18。前處理部12,是將作為原水之自來水、井水、工業用水等導入。該前處理部12,是因應原水的水質等而具有適宜的結構,將原水之懸浮物質除去而產生前處理水。前處理部12係具備例如砂濾裝置、微濾裝置等,又按照需要而具有:用於調節被處理水的溫度之熱交換器等。Hereinafter, the embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings. As shown in FIG1 , the ultrapure
一次純水製造部14,是將前處理水中的有機成分、離子成分、溶存氣體等除去而製造一次純水,將該一次純水供應給貯槽(TK)16。一次純水製造部14,例如是將逆滲透膜裝置、離子交換裝置(陽離子交換裝置、陰離子交換裝置、混合床式離子交換裝置等)、紫外線氧化裝置、及脫氣裝置(真空脫氣裝置、膜脫氣裝置等)當中之1個以上適宜地組合而構成。一次純水,例如總有機碳(TOC:Total Organic Carbon)濃度為5μgC/L以下,電阻率為17MΩ・cm以上。貯槽16,是將一次純水貯留,並將其必要量供應給二次純水製造部18。The primary pure
另一方面,二次純水製造部18,是將藉由一次純水製造部14所製造之一次純水中的雜質除去而製造成超純水之二次純水,並供應給超純水的使用場所、即使用點(POU:Point Of Use)20。流路31,是用於讓被處理水流過的流路,是將藉由構成水處理系統15之前處理部12、一次純水製造部14及二次純水製造部18實施水處理後的被處理水送往使用點20。此外,如圖1、圖2所示般,上述貯槽16,是位於流路31上之後述的微濾膜裝置(暫置的過濾裝置)27之上游側。再者,流路31具有:通過後述的超濾膜裝置28之後返回貯槽16之循環管路31b。在此,在圖1、圖2的例子,循環管路31b是構成:從位於最下游之使用點20的位置經由貯槽16及二次純水製造部18而返回使用點20的位置之路線。換言之,通過使用點20後之剩餘的超純水,是通過流路31之循環管路31b而用貯槽16回收。On the other hand, the secondary pure
具體而言,如圖2、圖3所示般,二次純水製造部18係具備:循環泵(被處理水供給泵)22、熱交換器(HEX:Heat Exchanger)23、紫外線氧化裝置(TOC-UV) 24、膜脫氣裝置(MDG:membrane degasifier)25、純化器(polisher)26、過濾器裝卸機構30、超濾膜(UF:
Ultrafiltration Membrane)裝置28、及微粒子計數器29。Specifically, as shown in FIG. 2 and FIG. 3 , the secondary pure
循環泵22,是將在貯槽16內所收容的被處理水(一次純水)供應給熱交換器23之被處理水供給泵。熱交換器23,是將從循環泵22供給的被處理水之溫度進行調節。這時,被處理水較佳為藉由熱交換器23調節成例如25±3℃。The
紫外線氧化裝置24,是對藉由熱交換器23調節溫度後的被處理水(一次純水)照射紫外線,而將被處理水中的微量有機物予以分解除去。紫外線氧化裝置24是例如具有紫外線燈,而產生波長185nm附近的紫外線。紫外線氧化裝置24,亦可為產生波長254nm附近的紫外線者。若在這樣的紫外線氧化裝置24內對被處理水照射紫外線,紫外線會將水分子分解而產生羥基,該羥基會將被處理水中的有機物實施氧化分解。The ultraviolet oxidizing
膜脫氣裝置25,是將透氣性的膜之二次側減壓,僅讓流過一次側之被處理水中的溶存氣體在二次側透過而將其除去。純化器26是非再生型的混合床式離子交換裝置,其具有由陽離子交換樹脂與陰離子交換樹脂所混合成之混合床式的離子交換樹脂,用於將被處理水中之微量的陽離子成分及陰離子成分吸附除去。The
隨後詳述之過濾器裝卸機構(過濾器安裝卸除機構)30,是設置在被處理水的流路31上之超濾膜裝置28的前段(緊挨前方),可對於前述流路31進行微濾膜裝置27的裝卸。超濾膜裝置28是設在流路31上之最下游的使用點20之前段(緊挨前方)。The filter installation and removal mechanism (filter installation and removal mechanism) 30, which will be described in detail later, is provided in front of (immediately in front of) the
超濾膜裝置28具有複數個中空纖維型組件,每一個中空纖維型組件之通水流量為5m3
/h以上,一般為10m3
/h以上。設置於流路31上之該超濾膜裝置28,是將藉由純化器26(或組裝時的微濾膜裝置27)處理後之被處理水,在使用點20的前段進一步實施水處理,藉此將例如粒徑50nm以上的微粒子除去而獲得超純水(二次純水)。The
在此,本實施形態的超純水製造裝置10之符合製造規格的超純水(滿足所期望的水質條件之超純水),粒徑50nm以上的粒子數為200個/L以下,總有機碳濃度為1μgC/L以下,電阻率為18MΩ・cm以上。微粒子計數器29,係計測藉由超濾膜裝置28實施水處理後之二次純水(超純水)中的粒子之粒徑。Here, the ultrapure water (ultrapure water satisfying the desired water quality conditions) produced by the ultrapure
接下來,針對過濾器裝卸機構30及暫置的微濾膜裝置27詳細地說明。過濾器裝卸機構30,如圖2、圖3所示般,係具備複數個接頭36、37、41、42及開閉閥(第1開閉閥)33。另一方面,微濾膜(MF:Microfiltration Membrane)裝置27之膜的孔徑,是比後段的超濾膜裝置28之膜的孔徑更大。該微濾膜的孔徑,沒有特別的限定,較佳為具有可將0.2μm以上的粒子分離之過濾精度。這是因為,在本發明中阻害提早啟動的原因物質是較大的微粒子,因此較大孔徑的微濾膜就夠了。再者,這樣的微濾膜,實質上可減少膜的根數而使壓力損失變小,因此可獲得良好的通水性能。Next, the filter installation and
作為微濾膜,可採用表層過濾式者、深層(depth)過濾式者。後者之深層過濾式的微濾膜,可確保多量的通水流量,藉此可減少所使用的膜之根數而變便宜,因此是較佳的。As microfiltration membranes, surface filtration type and depth filtration type can be used. The latter deep filtration type microfiltration membrane can ensure a large amount of water flow, thereby reducing the number of membranes used and becoming cheaper, so it is preferred.
又深層過濾式的微濾膜,一般而言是運用於超純水製造裝置之前段側,例如設置於一次純水製造部之逆滲透膜的保護過濾器(guard filter)等、或前處理部,但如本實施形態般欲運用於二次純水製造部的情況,因為在深層過濾式的微濾膜之孔徑過大,以往是認為微細微粒子的除去是無法期待的,但在啟動方面顯現效果則是出乎意外的。Deep filtration type microfiltration membranes are generally used in the front section of ultrapure water production equipment, such as a guard filter or a pre-treatment section of a reverse osmosis membrane installed in a primary pure water production section. However, in the case of using it in a secondary pure water production section as in the present embodiment, because the pore size of the deep filtration type microfiltration membrane is too large, it was previously believed that the removal of fine particles could not be expected. However, the effect shown in the startup is unexpected.
作為表層過濾式的微濾膜,可採用HDC II系列、PolyFine II系列(以上為頗爾公司(Pall)製)等;作為深層過濾式的微濾膜,可採用Betafine系列(3M日本公司製)、PROFILE II、NEXIS系列、PROFILE UP系列(以上為頗爾公司製)等。As surface filtration type microfilter membranes, HDC II series, PolyFine II series (all manufactured by Pall Corporation) and the like can be used; as deep filtration type microfilter membranes, Betafine series (manufactured by 3M Japan Co., Ltd.), PROFILE II, NEXIS series, PROFILE UP series (all manufactured by Pall Corporation) and the like can be used.
亦即,微濾膜裝置27可捕捉:從超純水製造裝置10內之例如配管類脫離之金屬粒子(異物)、從超純水製造裝置10的設置環境中混入水處理系統15內之砂等。That is, the
微濾膜裝置27是暫置的(暫時的)保護過濾器(Temporary Guard Filter)裝置。該微濾膜裝置27,是在將超純水製造裝置10例如新設啟動時安裝於超純水製造裝置10,但在超純水製造裝置之啟動完成後,則透過過濾器裝卸機構30而從超純水製造裝置10卸除(撤除)。The
在此,被處理水的流路31是由配管31a所構成。此外,為了將微濾膜裝置27暫置而準備了用於構成分支流路32之配管(第2配管)32a,該分支流路32是從流路31一度分支並經由微濾膜裝置27而在該流路31的下游側匯流。亦即,微濾膜裝置27介在配管32a的途中。Here, the
如圖2、圖3所示般,接頭41、42是將配管32a可卸除地連接於配管31a。此外,接頭36、37也是,將配管32a可卸除地連接於配管31a。具體而言,接頭36、37是使配管32a與開閉閥34、35一起成為可從配管31a卸除。在本實施形態如圖3所示般,主要例示的態樣,是透過接頭41、42而從配管31a將配管32a及暫置的微濾膜裝置27卸除。As shown in Fig. 2 and Fig. 3, the
開閉閥33,是設置在配管31a上之前述分支位置與前述匯流位置之間,用於切換對配管31a內之通水與阻斷(非通水)。此外,在配管32a上,於暫置的微濾膜裝置27之前後分別設置一對的開閉閥(第2開閉閥)34、35之各個。開閉閥34、35是用於切換對配管32a內之通水與阻斷(非通水)。The on-off
因此,如圖2所示般,例如,在設置有微濾膜裝置27的狀態下,利用從流路31一度分支而經由分支流路32及微濾膜裝置27且在流路31的下游側匯流的路線進行送水的情況,開閉閥33關閉且開閉閥34、35開啟。此外,在如圖3所示般從超純水製造裝置10使微濾膜裝置27分離(撤除)的狀態,或在包含如圖2所示般設置有微濾膜裝置27的狀態,但利用未經由分支流路32及微濾膜裝置27的路線對流路31進行送水的情況,開閉閥33開啟且開閉閥34、35關閉。2 , for example, in a state where the
又在此情況,從接頭36到開閉閥34的區間、及從開閉閥35到接頭37的區間成為靜滯區(dead space),有因水滯留所造成之水質惡化的疑慮。於是,在將暫置的微濾膜裝置27與配管32a一起撤除之後,取代分離後的配管32a而安裝較細的配管,使從接頭36往接頭37以小流量流動,如此可防止水的滯留。In this case, the area from the joint 36 to the on-off
接下來,除了圖1~圖3再參照圖4所示的流程圖,來說明本實施形態的超純水製造裝置10之啟動方法(使用超純水製造裝置10的超純水製造方法)。在超純水製造裝置10的啟動時,首先,除了組裝純化器26、超濾膜裝置28、流路31(配管31a)等,還透過過濾器裝卸機構30而如圖2、圖4所示般,在超純水製造裝置10本體設置(組裝)暫置的微濾膜裝置27(S1)。Next, in addition to FIGS. 1 to 3, the method for starting the ultrapure
在設置微濾膜裝置27之後,將配管31a上的開閉閥33關閉,並將配管32a(分支流路32)上的開閉閥34、35開啟。如此般設置微濾膜裝置27之後,從例如前處理部12的前段沿著分支流路32及包含循環管路31b之流路31開始送水,藉此如圖1、圖2、圖4所示般,將包含前處理部12、一次純水製造部14內的各裝置、上述流路31、純化器26、超濾膜裝置28等之水處理系統15進行洗淨(S2)。這時,從超純水製造裝置10內之例如配管類脫離的金屬粒子、混入水處理系統15之砂等是藉由微濾膜裝置27捕捉。After the
在前述洗淨中,用於洗淨水處理系統15之送水用的水(洗淨水)宜為一次純水。此外,這樣的洗淨,隨著該洗淨開始而通過使用點20的位置之洗淨用的水(洗淨水),至少實施既定期間以上之繞循環管路31b一圈再返回前述使用點20的位置的作業。In the above-mentioned cleaning, the water (cleaning water) used for water delivery to the cleaning
隨著前述洗淨開始,根據循環管路31b內的水量及流量所計算之循環次數較佳為0.5~2200次,更佳為1~1000次,特佳為40~500次。此外,通水時間較佳為0.25小時~1000小時,更佳為0.5小時~720小時,特佳為24小時~170小時。又因為在循環系統的前段側含有大量的異物,縱使循環次數為0.5次也有效果,但超過1次則效果變大。As the aforementioned cleaning begins, the number of cycles calculated based on the water volume and flow rate in the
當循環次數、通水時間較少的情況,因為微濾膜無法將異物充分地補捉,變得無法獲得啟動時間縮短的效果。另一方面,當循環次數、通水時間較多的情況,因為微濾膜所捕捉的異物例如被粉碎而往後段流出,變得無法獲得啟動時間縮短的效果。又最佳條件會按照所敷設的配管長度、口徑、分支的數量等而有不同,可在上述範圍當中選定適宜條件來實施洗淨。When the number of cycles and water flow time is small, the microfiltration membrane cannot fully capture foreign matter, and the startup time cannot be shortened. On the other hand, when the number of cycles and water flow time is large, the foreign matter captured by the microfiltration membrane is crushed and flows out to the back section, and the startup time cannot be shortened. The best conditions will vary according to the length, diameter, number of branches, etc. of the pipes to be laid, and appropriate conditions can be selected within the above range to implement cleaning.
在此,既定期間可為例如一週等。此外,在洗淨中,前處理部12、一次純水製造部14及二次純水製造部18內的各裝置成為運轉狀態。藉由前述般的洗淨,從超純水製造裝置10內之例如配管類脫離的金屬粒子等是藉由微濾膜裝置27捕捉。Here, the predetermined period may be, for example, one week. In addition, during the cleaning, the devices in the
在從洗淨開始經過既定期間之後(S3之是),將捕捉了金屬粒子等之微濾膜裝置27從超純水製造裝置10撤除(分離)(S4)。具體而言,在將送水停止之後,將配管32a(分支流路32)上的開閉閥34、35關閉。接著,如圖3所示般,透過接頭41、42,進行將配管32a及暫置的微濾膜裝置27之卸除。After a predetermined period of time has passed since the start of cleaning (Yes in S3), the
在將微濾膜裝置27撤除之後,將開閉閥33關閉,使前處理部12、一次純水製造部14及二次純水製造部18內的各裝置成為運轉狀態,接著開始進行沿著包含循環管路31b之流路31的送水(對前處理部12供給原水),實施利用水處理系統15之水處理(S5)。在撤除步驟(S4)和實施水處理的步驟(S5)之操作間,也可以不停止送水地進行洗淨。在此情況,是將開閉閥33開啟,同時或是之後,將開閉閥34、35關閉。接著進行微濾膜裝置27的卸除即可。該水處理,是持續進行到獲得如上例示之符合所期望的製造規格之超純水(超純水的水質符合規格)為止(S6)。這時,關於二次純水(超純水)中的粒子之粒徑是否符合製造規格,是藉由微粒子計數器29計測。然後,當獲得符合製造規格之超純水的情況(S6之是),超純水製造裝置10的啟動完成(S7)。After the
在此,本實施形態的超純水製造裝置10之啟動方法,是在超濾膜裝置28之前段(緊挨前方)設置有微濾膜裝置27的狀態下開始進行水處理系統15內的洗淨,在既定的期間經過後,將捕捉了例如金屬粒子、砂等之微濾膜裝置27從超純水製造裝置10撤除(分離)之後,再實施水處理,因此可從水處理系統15內將上述的金屬粒子、砂等除去。因此,依據本實施形態的超純水製造裝置10之啟動方法可避免:可能存在於水處理系統15內之例如砂、金屬粒子的成分持續溶析等而成為超純水的水質降低的狀態等。亦即,在撤除微濾膜裝置27後的水處理,可迅速獲得符合所期望的製造規格之超純水,如此可將超純水製造裝置10之啟動期間縮短。Here, the startup method of the ultrapure
又在本操作之任一階段,可進行利用過氧化氫等之二次純水製造部18內的殺菌操作。在此情況,是使用繞過(bypass)純化器26及/或超濾膜裝置28的管路(未圖示),將純化器26及/或超濾膜裝置28從系統(水處理系統15)卸除,使用設置於二次純水製造部18之任意部位、例如貯槽16或泵22的吸入側之分支閥,對系統內添加過氧化氫。然後進行既定時間的循環。在進行充分的殺菌處理之後,將過氧化氫水溶液從任意的場所排出。當系統內的過氧化氫消失後,將純化器26及/或超濾膜裝置28的旁通停止。In any stage of this operation, sterilization operation can be performed in the secondary pure
此外,在本發明的超純水製造裝置之啟動方法中,亦可在未將離子交換樹脂充填於純化器26本體內的狀態下進行包含純化器26之水處理系統15的洗淨,在任一階段停止洗淨操作而在純化器26本體內充填離子交換樹脂。Furthermore, in the startup method of the ultrapure water production device of the present invention, the
再者,以上的操作,雖是運用包含使用點20之循環管路31b來做說明,但如圖5所示般,也能使用繞過使用點20之循環管路31c。在此情況,是在任一階段,進行讓使用點20包含於循環管路內的操作。又為了將啟動時間進一步縮短,較佳為選擇包含使用點20之循環管路31b的啟動方法。Furthermore, although the above operation is explained using the
此外,為了補充循環泵22之供水,如圖5所示般,可在純化器26和接頭36之間設置增壓泵43。這樣的增壓泵43也能追加設置於圖2、圖3所例示之二次純水製造部、後述圖6所示之二次純水製造部。In addition, in order to supplement the water supply of the
另一方面,驗證的結果,關於超純水製造裝置10的裝置結構,是使用不具備上述般之暫置的過濾裝置(微濾膜裝置27)之超純水製造裝置,進行利用洗淨水之洗淨後實施水處理的情況,縱使將這樣的洗淨及水處理持續例如4個月的期間,仍無法獲得符合製造規格的超純水。在此情況,是成為藉由超濾膜裝置28內之中空纖維型組件捕捉了金屬粉、砂等的狀態,所捕捉的異物會隨著時間經過被粉碎而往後段流出,因為這個原因造成不合製造規格。於是,將超濾膜裝置28內之中空纖維型組件全部都更換為新品後,再度實施水處理,總算獲得符合製造規格的超純水。On the other hand, the verification result shows that, regarding the device structure of the ultrapure
此外還驗證了,當使用與超純水製造裝置10相同的裝置結構之超純水製造裝置,在安裝有微濾膜裝置27的狀態下,進行利用洗淨水的洗淨且還實施水處理的情況,縱使將這樣的洗淨及水處理持續進行例如3個月的期間,仍無法獲得符合製造規格的超純水。在此情況,在微濾膜裝置27內捕捉了例如可目視的尺寸之金屬粉、砂等,藉由將微濾膜裝置27撤除之後再度實施水處理,總算獲得符合製造規格的超純水。Furthermore, it was verified that when an ultrapure water production device having the same device structure as the ultrapure
相對於此也驗證了,依據本實施形態的超純水製造裝置10之啟動方法,在設置有微濾膜裝置27的狀態下,將使用含有過氧化氫的洗淨液之洗淨進行1週後,從超純水製造裝置10將捕捉了例如金屬粒子、砂等的微濾膜裝置27撤除之後,再實施水處理,藉此可馬上獲得符合製造規格的超純水。In contrast, it has been verified that according to the startup method of the ultrapure
如前述般,依據本實施形態的超純水製造裝置10之啟動方法(及可運用啟動方法之超純水製造裝置10),藉由實施有效地活用暫置的過濾裝置(微濾膜裝置27)及過濾器裝卸機構30之洗淨及水處理,可謀求超純水製造裝置10之啟動期間的縮短化。又取代圖3所示之過濾器裝卸機構30,而如圖6所示般將過濾器裝卸機構40運用於超純水製造裝置及其啟動方法也是可能的。在採用該過濾器裝卸機構40的情況,是在將開閉閥34、35關閉之後,透過接頭36、37,將配管32(分支流路32a)及微濾膜裝置27與開閉閥34、35一起撤除(分離)。在將暫置的微濾膜裝置27與開閉閥34、35及配管32a一起從超純水製造裝置10撤除之後,在接頭36、37之原先安裝配管32a的部位,例如安裝栓塞(止水栓)38、39等。As described above, according to the startup method of the ultrapure
以上,是利用實施形態具體地說明本發明,但本發明並不限定於該實施形態,在實施階段在不脫離其要旨的範圍內可進行各種變更。例如,可從實施形態所揭示之全體構成要素當中將某個構成要素刪除,將上述實施形態所揭示之複數個構成要素適宜地組合也是可能的。The present invention is specifically described above using the embodiments, but the present invention is not limited to the embodiments, and various modifications can be made in the implementation stage without departing from the gist of the invention. For example, a certain component can be deleted from all the components disclosed in the embodiments, and it is also possible to appropriately combine multiple components disclosed in the embodiments.
