UPW Facility Issue Dear Birck Users: The UltraPure Water system has experienced a fault and the system is down at this time. Engineering and facility staff members are working on the problem but users should know that, in addition to cleanroom humidification being out of control, no UPW water is available for processing. We will keep you updated as progress is made to restore the UPW system.

Learn why this is important<https://aka.ms/LearnAboutSenderIdentification> Good Evening, We are experiencing problems with the ultrapure water system that feeds our clean steam generator so we will not have humidity control for the cleanroom until this system is fixed. We will continue monitoring the water system and turn the clean steam generator back on when we get confirmation this problem has been fully resolved. Sorry for any inconvenience.
