wet processing
Fluid-based material preparation
Wet processing refers to industrial methods that use water or liquid chemicals, as opposed to dry techniques.
In semiconductor manufacturing, wet processing cleans and etches silicon wafers using chemical baths.
In coffee production, wet processing removes the fruit from beans using water before drying, yielding a cleaner, brighter flavor than dry-processed coffee.
Textile and photographic industries also distinguish wet from dry methods.
