The service portfolio includes TCM Manpower Services and Tank and Container Inspection as two distinct support categories. Hook-Up and Chemical Dispense System services are also listed in the company's service portfolio. Chemical Mixing and Dispensing System and Chemical Dilution and Dispense System are separate service and equipment categories in the same portfolio. Waste Chemical Collection System and Chemical Regeneration and Recycling Equipment System extend the portfolio into waste-liquid handling and chemical reuse. Installation and Piping Operations and System Maintenance complete the listed service categories with construction, connection and ongoing support functions. For Chemical Dispense Systems, the company's business segment explicitly includes sales, manufacturing and installation. Chemical Mixing Systems and Chemical Dilution Systems are included in the same sales, manufacturing and installation business segment. Chemical Recycling Systems are also included in the company's sales, manufacturing and installation scope. The associated service scope includes maintenance work and system modification or improvement work, in addition to piping, installation and spare-parts inventory. The TCM Manpower Services offering integrates equipment maintenance and personnel operations and covers sales, operations, post-sales maintenance and servicing. Tank and Container Inspection can be performed while equipment remains in operation, allowing inspection without stopping production. Various inspection machines are used to identify deterioration and abnormalities inside components during tank and container inspection. Data accumulated through regular inspections can be used to set appropriate replacement schedules when signs of deterioration are detected. The company's secondary-phase Hook-Up engineering scope includes waste gas, pure water, supply and drainage, vacuum, process cooling water, chemical supply and discharge pipelines, and various gas supply systems with standard adjustment panels. Hook-Up services can be tailored to customer requirements and include preliminary planning, usage calculations, on-site surveys, design blueprints, construction management, completion testing and reporting. The Chemical Dispense System is intended for high-purity chemicals used in semiconductor, FPD and solar-cell manufacturing processes including Cleaning, Etching, Stripping and Photo-Lithography. It maintains chemical purity while safely dispensing chemicals to manufacturing equipment. Chemicals are transported to the manufacturing factory in containers of 200L～20m3 and can be moved by pump delivery or nitrogen-driven delivery either directly from the container or through a storage tank. Before reaching manufacturing equipment through conveying pipes, the chemicals can pass through filtering to remove particles and impurities. The Chemical Dispense System is formed by CCB (Clean Coupling Booth), CDB (Clean Drum Booth), Transfer Unit, CDM (Chemical Dispense Module), Storage Tank, Supply Tank, Chemical Dispense Pipeline and VMB (Valve Manifold Box), among other components. By chemical usage amount, the dispense system is divided into Lorry System, Drum System with Tank and LS-200 (Drum System without Tank). By chemical type, the dispense systems are classified as Model-1 for solvents, Model-2 for acids and bases, and Model-3 for corrosive solvents. For Model-1 solvent chemicals, fluid-receiving parts use stainless steel SS316LEP and SS316LBA and the equipment external structure uses stainless steel SS304. For Model-2 acid and base chemicals, fluid-receiving parts use fluorine resin PFA and PTFE while the equipment external structure uses PP or PVC. For Model-3 corrosive solvent chemicals, fluid-receiving parts use PFA and PTFE and the equipment external structure uses stainless steel SS304. The Chemical Mixing and Dispensing System addresses chemicals used in semiconductor and FPD manufacturing that are formed by mixing multiple chemical types. It allows those chemicals to be mixed within the manufacturing factory and then dispensed to manufacturing equipment, with the stated effect of reducing chemical and transportation costs. Representative mixed chemicals include mixed acid and cleaning solution for the etching process. Mixing concentration can be determined using automatic titration, near infrared (NIR), pH meter and conductivity meter methods. Because the mixed chemicals are acids or bases, the mixing system uses PFA and PTFE for fluid-receiving parts and PP or PVC for the equipment external structure under Model-2. The Chemical Dilution and Dispense System addresses low-concentration chemicals used in semiconductor and FPD manufacturing. It can dilute high-purity chemicals with pure water inside the manufacturing factory and then dispense the low-concentration chemicals to manufacturing equipment, reducing chemical and transportation costs. Representative dilution chemicals include developer such as TMAH and KOH, hydrofluoric acid, ammonium hydroxide and cleaning solution. Diluted concentration can be confirmed with a conductivity meter, refractometer, ultrasonic concentration analyzer, near infrared method (NIR) and pH meter. For these diluted acid or base chemicals, fluid-receiving parts use PFA and PTFE and the equipment external structure uses PP or PVC under Model-2. The Waste Chemical Collection System transports used chemicals from semiconductor, FPD and solar-cell manufacturing through pipelines to waste-chemical recycling tanks or processing equipment by gravity or pump delivery. Waste chemicals are separated for recovery according to characteristics, including solvents, acids, hydrofluoric acids, bases and hydrogen peroxides. Acid and base waste chemicals generally undergo neutralization, coagulation and settlement before discharge to river or sewage. Hydrogen-peroxide waste is decomposed before discharge, and if decomposition equipment is unavailable the waste must be sent to a waste-chemical processing operator. Solvent waste is sent to operators capable of recycling chemicals, reusing chemicals or processing waste chemicals. Fluid-receiving parts for solvent waste mainly use stainless steel SS304, while acid and base systems use PP, PVC, PTFE lining and PFA pipes. The Chemical Regeneration and Recycling Equipment System regenerates used chemicals from semiconductor, FPD and solar-cell manufacturing through recovery, distillation, filtration and chemical addition so that the chemicals can be reused in manufacturing processes. For solvent waste containing IPA, Stripper, Ethanol and NMP, distillation removes impurities and produces higher-concentration chemicals for reuse. Because IPA and Ethanol have azeotropic points, producing still higher concentrations requires addition of a third-component solvent for distillation followed by membrane filtration to remove water. Developer is regenerated by filtering out impurities such as photoresist and then adjusting the concentration before reuse. Sulfuric-acid waste is concentrated by distillation to produce regenerated sulfuric acid. For regenerated solvent chemicals, fluid-receiving parts use SS316LEP and SS316LBA and the equipment external structure uses SS304 under Model-1. For regenerated acid and base chemicals, fluid-receiving parts use PFA and PTFE while the equipment external structure uses PP or PVC under Model-2. For sulfuric acid, low-temperature sections use PFA and PTFE and high-temperature sections use heat-resistant glass and quartz. For high-purity chemical piping work, the company's construction procedures specify construction processes, installation methods and installation specifications to establish basic project quality and safety requirements. Those procedures apply to piping, installation, positioning and inspection for high-purity fluids, acids, bases and organic solvents using pipeline materials including PFA, PVDF, CPVC, SUS316 LEP and SUS304 with related fittings and auxiliary materials. Construction personnel are required to follow site and safety management rules and use standard basic safety equipment including safety helmets, safety shoes, safety belts and safety goggles. Personnel and equipment must obtain required permits and certificates before plant entry, and construction operations require written applications according to customer procedures, with risk assessment submitted for special operations. Before work begins, the surrounding environment must be inspected, construction areas must use safety labels and controls, hazardous materials must be classified and managed, and flammable objects must be isolated appropriately. For equipment and material inspection, Cica-Huntek Chemical Technology Taiwan Co., Ltd. uses long-term experience and accumulated skills to test and verify complete equipment and the quality of materials used. Its diagnostic work can be performed while equipment is operating without the need to stop the equipment. Together, these systems and services cover chemical dispensing, mixing, dilution, waste collection, regeneration and recycling, Hook-Up, tank and container inspection, installation and piping, system maintenance, and manpower-supported operation across semiconductor, FPD and solar-related manufacturing environments.
