| Content | Water Use We are seeking to conserve water at all of our facilities through the installation of water-saving devices and the design and implementation of water use reduction and reclamation systems. Our goal is to reduce normalized water use in our wafer fabrication plants 5% by 2010, relative to 2005. We are on track to meet this goal. Our overall water consumption in 2007 totaled 1.16 million cubic meters, a reduction of 190,000 cubic meters, or 14%, from 2006.

A significant portion of the resultant wastewater is treated for reuse in manufacturing. We continue to expand water recycling and reuse to reduce consumption and minimize impacts on the environment from environmental discharges. We also treat water from our manufacturing operations prior to discharge to municipal treatment systems. In our Wilmington, Massachusetts, facility, for example, internal quality improvement teams implemented a water conservation program that reduced consumption by 50% from 2006 levels in one of the facility’s wafer fabrication lines. At this same facility, we upgraded oxide etch sinks to use water more efficiently, reducing DI water usage by 83% from 2006 levels. These efforts have saved 69,000 cubic meters per year of DI water. We also reduced our use of city water for industrial and facilities equipment in our Wilmington facility by 276,335 cubic meters per year, 75% of the original amount, due to water treatment and reuse in scrubbers and cooling towers. In our Limerick, Ireland, facility we reduced the site’s overall water consumption by 9% from 2006 levels by modifying our wafer fabrication processes in early 2007. In 2007, we also implemented a recovery project for DI water at one of our facilities in the Philippines. We also switched from deep well water to city water, which has fewer impurities and thus requires less treatment. Combined, these efforts increased the site’s water use efficiency, reduc- ing water use by 31,146 cubic meters. Analog Devices Sustainability Report 2007 • Environment, Health, and Safety 31 |
