CUF|ShieldPlus™ (CM-151 ME) — Solving Your Fab’s Toughest Wastewater Challenges
Chips Are Getting Smaller. The Fab’s Water Problem Is Getting Bigger.
Meet CUF|ShieldPlus™—the high-performance ceramic ultrafiltration powerhouse engineered by Nanostone to tackle the hardest wastewater challenges in advanced semiconductor manufacturing. It delivers:
✓ Up to 95% water recovery from process-critical streams
✓ Long membrane life with low cleaning frequency
✓ Compact footprint ideal for constrained facilities
✓ Field-proven performance in 40+ fabs worldwide
Engineered for the most aggressive, high-risk, high-recovery applications:
- Grinding, Cutting & Dicing wastewater
- CMP wastewater treatment
- HF-containing wastewater (HF must first be precipitated through pH adjustment and then can be successfully treated by CUF)
Technical Profile:
- Fouling resistance
- High chemical and thermal stability
- Excellent resistance to abrasive particles
- High tolerance for variable feedwater profiles
- Minimal pretreatment required — no DAF, flocculation, or oversized clarifiers
- Integration-ready with RO and ion exchange for water reuse loops

Application Deep Dives: Where CUF|ShieldPlus™ Excels
Grinding, Cutting & Dicing, CMP and HF wastewater aren’t just difficult; they’re expensive, inconsistent, and increasingly regulated. These are the streams, among others, that clog systems, foul membranes, and force operators into constant workarounds. Each one demands a level of filtration performance that conventional systems can’t reliably deliver.
CUF|ShieldPlus™ is engineered specifically for these conditions. This ceramic membrane module performs where other membranes degrade, clog, or fail.
