Advent Solar, a solar cell and module manufacturer, has placed a
multiple systems order with Edwards for its Hot Oxidation Systems (HOx)
abatement technology. The Hox-based systems will be used for the
abatement of PECVD exhaust gases during solar cell manufacturing at its
Albuquerque, New Mexico plant. The systems will ship to Advent Solar in
September 2007, according to Edwards.
“We selected Edwards because it offered the most cost-effective,
non-fuel abatement solution, combined with a well-established, global
service and support infrastructure,” said Doug Podzemny, Engineering
Equipment Manager, Advent Solar, Inc. “This will complement our mission
to provide low cost, efficient solar cells to our customers.”
Edwards’
Hot Oxidation (HOx) system is a low power, electrically heated exhaust
gas abatement system, that incorporates self-cleaning inlets and
established three stage wet scrubber technology for the effective
treatment of toxic and corrosive gases.
