Leveraging our unique value proposition in wet scrubbing, Exentec has introduced Encompass, our first thermal product line. This tool combines three technologies in one platform using our proprietary Wet-Burn-Wet architecture. Customers recognize that preprocessing abatement process gas streams allow them to maximize process tool uptime while also maintaining desired Destruction Rate Efficiency. The combination of scrubber technologies (Wet + Burn-Wet) into a single platform allows for the efficient removal of water-soluble gases prior to the Burner. This lowers NOx by removing ammonia before the burner and minimizes particle formation in facilities ductwork by removing precursors in the pre-wet scrubber. Destruction Rate Efficiency (DRE) is maintained without frequent maintenance. Revolutionary burner design and the pre-wet scrubber virtually eliminates burner maintenance and consumables. With active back flash suppression and wet wall burner technology, Encompass is the safest abatement tool on the market with the lowest Total Cost of Ownership. 

• Independent Pre-Scrub Chambers prevent mixing of incompatible gases. 
• Wet Wall Burn technology “encompasses” the thermal zone with recirculated water and corrosion resistant materials. 
• Chamber Parts are protected from corrosion and deposits are prevented from forming retiring routine maintenance for the burner. 
• Multi-Zone Burner Technology exploits existent process gases without diluting the main flame effecting DRE. 
• True “Green Mode” operation is obtainable by digital on and off cycles of the flame and resultant thermal profile. 

Application benefits examples: 

• W-CVD - WOx deposits created by burning WF6 CVD Nitride  
• 90% reduction in NOx by Wet scrubbing NH3 EPI  
• Anti-back flash technology for flame suppression and pressure relief 
• Lowest total cost of ownership is achieved by elimination of routine maintenance and consumables 
• Highest return on net assets and overall equipment efficiency is achieved by superior uptime and availability
