Wellcron Hantec Enters Advanced Industrial Water Treatment Market... "Expanding Business Scope"

On September 15, Wellcron Hantec, a plant and general construction specialist company, announced that it will seek to enter the advanced industrial water treatment market, including the semiconductor sector, leveraging its experience in water treatment engineering, procurement, and construction (EPC) accumulated in the power generation and industrial wastewater fields.

Wellcron Hantec is equipped with water treatment process capabilities essential for water reuse, including ultrafiltration (UF), reverse osmosis (RO), mechanical vapor recompression (MVR), and evaporation·crystallization. The company can recover treated water from wastewater and further process the remaining concentrate, thereby increasing water recovery rates and reducing the total volume of final wastewater generated.

In semiconductor manufacturing processes, various types of wastewater are produced due to the large volumes of water used, such as for wafer cleaning. As production facilities become larger, water consumption and wastewater treatment requirements are also increasing, making water reuse systems that recycle used water into industrial water increasingly important. The government is also pushing to expand water reuse, as outlined in its 3rd National Sewerage Master Plan, which aims to raise the reuse rate of treated sewage water from 8% to 25% between 2026 and 2035.

Wellcron Hantec also has experience applying relevant technologies to existing industrial wastewater and power plant projects. For instance, it established a large-scale, high-concentration papermaking wastewater treatment facility at Kyung-Je Paper’s Siheung Plant, capable of treating 5,000 cubic meters per day, allowing the treated water to be reused as process water.

A representative of Wellcron Hantec stated, "We plan to expand our business scope by applying our EPC experience in water treatment accumulated in the industrial and power generation sectors to meet the water treatment demand of advanced industries."
