Casa Grande Lands $250M Chemical Plant

KPCT Advanced Chemicals and Kanto Group plans to build an electronic grade sulphuric acid manufacturing plant in the Pinal County town of 60,000. Sulphuric acid is used to clean silicon wafers during semiconductor manufacturing. The site will occupy 10 acres and is expected to be operational by 2025, creating approximately 65 jobs, at a cost of $250 million.

The Casa Grande chemical plant, when completed, will serve the growing Arizona semiconductor market. Arizona is currently home to semiconductor manufacturers such as Motorola, NXP Semiconductors, Microchip Technologies, Intel and Samsung.

The plant will have a total annual capacity of 100,000 metric tons of electronic-grade acid. The facility will be the first greenfield construction of an electronic-grade sulfuric acid plant in North America. The plant plans to minimize environmental problems. The goal is to recover and purify used sulfuric acid from the semiconductor waste stream so the industry can use it again.
