How can preventative maintenance of filters ensure the highest quality UPW at the lowest cost of ownership?
UF even withstands episodic increase of particle numbers in the feed (e.g., caused by conditioning of ion-exchange resins) without negative effects for water quality and service lifetime. Such a particle challenge typically involves high concentrations of ~10-nanometer (nm) particles. On the other hand, current on-line particle counters approach their lower detection limit at about 10nm. Large numbers of particles nearby and below this limit remain undetected. Hence, the integrity of a UF membrane is essential to keep these small particles under control; it can hardly be evaluated by comparing particle counts upstream and downstream. Therefore, better test methods are needed to identify membrane damages, and to decide on service life and replacement of UF membranes.

Review of Nanoparticles in Ultrapure Water
Ultrapure water (UPW) is one of the main materials for electronics fabrication and therefore, it needs to be monitored for critical parameters such as nanoparticles (NP). The state-of-the-art online measurement techniques are challenged by particles at the killer particle sizes smaller than 10 nm. Due to the uncertainties in NP detection, the identification of NP sources and sinks in UPW system is limited nowadays. This review article aims to give an overview on the current developments and perspectives in metrologies for detection and control. The following topics will be discussed: transferability of general definition of NP to UPW, state-of-the-art particle analytics, sources and sinks of NP in UPW systems as well as dominant particle interactions responsible for NP contamination. This article was originally published in the Ultrapure Micro Journal in November 2017.
