Title: Clean Room Environment
1How to Maintain a Clean Room Environment
2The cleanroom is defined as a room that is
maintained virtually free of contaminants such as
dust or bacteria which are used in laboratory
work and in the production of electronic or
aerospace equipments which may have precision
parts need to be maintained sterile. You may also
hear it referred to as a clean room or a white
room.
3But labs and aeronautical facilities aren't the
only industries that need cleanroom systems to
accomplish their business aims. Manufacturers and
scientific researchers (for example, in
biotechnology and the life sciences) also require
them. Hospitals, pharmacies, electronics
manufacturers, and food industry professionals
also have a strong need for them.
4Wikipedia fine tunes the previously cited
dictionary explanation by adding, more accurately
a cleanroom generally has a restricted level of
contamination and that is generally specified by
the number of particles per cubic meter. HEPA and
ULPA filters help cleanroom systems maintain
particulate-free air.
5In addition, PVC walls and panels enable these
rooms to stay free of contaminants by preventing
the spread of germs during the normal course of
operations. Many factors go into the design of
cleanroom systems. In addition to the
aforementioned filters and wall panels, size
should be your first consideration when designing
a cleanroom.
6Do you need to dedicate just a portion of your
facility or do your require the entire building
to be "clean"?Next, consider how your staff will
enter and exit your cleanroom. Airlocks and air
shower stages may be vital components of your
system design. Furnishings are also important
elements. Wikipedia cautions that they must be
designed to produce less number of particles and
easy to clean.
7Will your employees need to wear cleanroom suits?
How about protective clothing like face masks,
gloves, hoods, boots, coveralls and special
shoes? What kind of control methods will you
implement to ensure particulate, pressure and
humidity levels are kept within your target
levels? Particle counters, air leak chambers and
ionizers may be necessary to guarantee
achievement of these goals.
8Controlled Environments generally teach tips for
maintaining a cleanroom. The publication broke
the design process down into four steps to
achieve the performance being sought from
cleanroom systems. Those pointers included
Assess your temperature, humidity and
pressurization for cleanliness requirements which
needs to determine exactly what you need from a
cleanroom system.
9Employ the services of an architectural expert to
develop a dimensioned layout drawing of the
cleanroom area you'll be using and decide on
things you prefer for providing conditioned air
to your cleanroom. Finalize your user requirement
specification (URS) before getting started with
the cleanroom contractor who will install your
cleanroom system.
10But what if you need something more customized?
In that case you'll want to consult with a
professional company that specializes in
cleanroom systems. And when selecting a partner,
make sure that they use quality wall systems and
panels that are 1/A flame spread, clean room
Class 10, flame retardant, chemical resistant and
durable.
