TI recycles almost 4 million gallons of water every day at manufacturing sites globally.

Our manufacturing facilities strive for greater water efficiency each year by identifying ways to reduce use and costs through improving manufacturing tool efficiency and by investing in water conservation systems at sites worldwide.

A system installed at our Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia, manufacturing site is saving 3 million gallons of water per month by reusing water. A cooling tower reuse system now operating at the Dallas, Texas, North Campus site in the U.S. is saving 3 to 7 million gallons per month, depending on the season.

TI reuses a portion of its water in air abatement systems, which “scrub” manufacturing exhaust. Hundreds of million gallons of water are reused in abatement systems in and cooling towers each year in Dallas alone. In addition, our Freising, Germany, site has an indoor climate control system that uses a once-through water cooling process. Cold water is pumped from underground aquifers, cycled through a heating/cooling system that keeps the aquifer water separate from all other plant water and processes, and remains uncontaminated when it re-enters the aquifer.
