en.Wedoany.com Reported - On June 30, Techcross Water & Energy announced that it has received a letter of intent from SK Hynix Inc. to provide EPC (engineering, procurement, and construction) services for the wastewater treatment infrastructure of the second phase of the first plant at the Yongin Semiconductor Cluster, with a contract value of approximately 50 billion won.
Under the agreement, Techcross Water & Energy will be responsible for the mechanical equipment engineering, procurement, and construction of the first construction section of the wastewater treatment system for the second phase (Y1 Ph-2) of the first plant. The wastewater treatment system is designed with a capacity of 50,000 metric tons per day, specifically for treating industrial wastewater generated during the semiconductor manufacturing process. Civil construction for the second phase of SK Hynix's first plant at the Yongin Semiconductor Cluster is scheduled to begin in August, and after the installation of mechanical equipment, Techcross Water & Energy will also conduct overall commissioning of the entire system.
This project marks Techcross Water & Energy's first participation in a fab project involving SK Hynix or semiconductor manufacturing facilities. The company provides comprehensive EPC services covering the entire water treatment lifecycle, including ultrapure water production, industrial water supply, wastewater treatment, and water reuse, with a significant track record in large-scale industrial plants and display industry water treatment projects. Its key corporate clients include SK Siltron Co., LG Display Co., Hanwha Aerospace Co., and Samsung Biologics Co.
Techcross Water & Energy has also expanded its business into privately funded wastewater recycling projects, completing multiple water reuse projects supporting semiconductor and display manufacturing in major hubs such as Paju and Yeosu. Water reuse technology involves converting municipal sewage and industrial wastewater treatment into high-quality industrial water.
In a statement, Techcross Water & Energy said that in the advanced manufacturing sector, stable water supply, wastewater treatment, and water reuse capabilities are directly linked to production competitiveness, and this contract demonstrates recognition of the company's comprehensive EPC capabilities covering ultrapure water, wastewater treatment, and water reuse. The company plans to actively pursue new clients by leveraging its industry-specific water treatment solutions.
Techcross Water & Energy was also recently selected as the lead organization for a national project supported by the South Korean government to localize ultrapure water technology. Ultrapure water is a critical infrastructure component that directly affects the stability of semiconductor production and manufacturing yield. The company's cumulative construction record for ultrapure water facilities exceeds a capacity of 330,000 cubic meters per day, and it plans to use this expertise to drive South Korea's technological self-reliance in the field of ultrapure water.
