Our environment contains large amounts of contamination, both gaseous and particulate. However, the application of controlled environments pertains primarily to the problem of airborne particulate control and containment.

Thus, the control, containment and extraction of

contamination within clean and aseptic areas

is critical to high-yield and efficient production.

Unidirectional Air Flow(Laminar Flow)

• When the total air volume within a space moves in one direction at a uniform speed of between 70 - 110 FPM, its individual molecules assume parallel paths, or streamlines. The physics of this phenomenon allow for these streamlines of air to bend around objects and obstacles without losing laminarity or losing the particles which they carry.

• Maintaining air flow laminarity within clean areas -and around and over your processes- will keep airborne contaminants (emanating from workers, nearby shedding processes and products) from fouling your critical process. The principle of laminar air flow is vital in contamination control. Air flow laminarity is a major component in the design and maintenance of clean environments.

Airborne Particulate Control

• Airborne particulate matter can be of organic or inorganic origin. Most contamination-control problems concern the total contamination within the air. Airborne particles range in size from 0.001 microns to several hundred microns.

• Before any methods of contamination control of airborne particles can be successfully applied, a decision must be made as to how critical this particulate matter is to the process or operation in question. At the same time, consideration must be given to the quantity of particles of a given size that might be present at a specific point within an area.

Continued…

• For any given space, there exists the

external influence of atmospheric contamination,

which inevitably finds its way into all areas of our working environment. This external contamination is generally introduced through air-conditioning systems which supply the workspace. In addition, external contamination can infiltrate through doors, penetrations or cracks within the enclosure. This contamination can generally be controlled by the level of filtration utilized in conjunction with clean-area pressurization.

Continued…

Airborne Particulate Control

• Since a definite relationship exists between the size of a particle and the time in which it may be airborne, it is most meaningful to discuss particles by quantity of a given size.

Both Fed. Std. 209-E and AF Technical Order

00-25-03 show typical relationships.

• To further analyze your contamination control

requirements, the source of contamination

should be considered. Basically, this is divided

into external sources and internal sources.

Continued…

Airborne Particulate Control

• Internal sources of contamination are caused through the introduction of equipment, material and personnel within an area. Contamination is created by every activity involving friction between surfaces. For example, the simple act of writing with a pencil on a piece of paper creates a cloud of very fine carbon particles and paper fibers. Even the movement of two pieces of metal together generates particulate matter which can be aerosolized to form very fine metallic dust. However, the greatest source of internal contamination is people. We continually shed particles. That amount can vary from as few as several hundred particles per hour to several thousand.

Airborne Particulate Control

Clean Environments

• Principles of contamination control can be applied to a simple tabletop workstation to produce Class 100 levels of cleanliness, permitting the most sensitive operations to be performed within a particulate-free environment. When larger areas are required,

a question that must be addressed by users of

clean spaces is: “What type of clean

environment is required?”

• One approach is to convert an existing area into

a clean room via retrofit. If a convenient sized space

exists within a facility, it is often sensible to convert it,

thereby realizing a substantial cost reduction.

Continued…

• A second approach is to purchase a pre-packaged

modular clean room that can be adapted to the

requirements of the process or facility within

which it is to be installed.

• A third approach is to analyze the process to be housed

and define all specific parameters required in developing

a mini-environment or glovebox specifically designed to isolate your process

under controlled conditions within your ambient environment, thereby reducing

your facility’s operating cost and the risk of operator-introduced contamination

or operator exposure to hazardous compounds.

Clean Environments

Operating Parameters

1. CLEANLINESS - Expressed as a classification per Fed.Std. 209E (e.g., Class 100, Class 10,000, Class 100,000), this parameter is the basis of much of the room design. It is important to know what you require since an over-designed room can be costly to build and costly to operate.

2. OPERATING PRESSURE - Generally expressed in Water Column (wg.) Pressure conditions should be established based on process and containment requirements. Positive pressure conditions are generally created for product protection or gas introduction preventing contaminates infiltration. Negative pressure conditions provide operator protection. Assuring containment of potent compounds and other hazardous substances. System operating pressures should be established early in design phase.

3. TEMPERATURE - If the process is not affected by temperature/humidity conditions which fall outside of human comfort ranges, do not specify tight tolerances. A good specification is 70º F±2 and 30-70% RH. Any tighter tolerance will result in unnecessarily escalated costs

Continued…

4. LIGHTING LEVEL - A level of 100 foot-candles at the work surface is more than adequate for close assembly work. High levels are costly in terms of energy consumption. Lower levels can be maintained by control switching.

5. PROCESS FLOW - This deals with the process being carried out within the room or system. The process will dictate the materials of construction of the room as well as the layout of the facility. The process should be defined as completely as possible before the clean room or process enclosure is designed. This sounds elementary, but a poorly defined process will result in an unsatisfactory solution, or one in which modifications are being made before the paint is dry.

Operating Parameters

Equipment and System Alternatives

• A full choice of equipment and easily erectable modular panelized

enclosures are readily available, along with ceiling systems, clean

room specific lighting, motorized and non-motorized ceiling-mounted

filtration modules and environmental control components that are sent

to the user for installation. These modular enclosures effectively

control, reduce and eliminate the effects of generated particulate

contamination on your critical processes.
