Cost and Energy Efficient Contamination Control
As energy and cost reduction continue to be driving forces behind most of the innovations in cutting-edge cleanroom design and construction, the CleanRooms Europe conference and exhibition reflects the global interest in this topic by setting Cost and Energy Efficient Contamination Control as the theme of the event’s significantly expanded 2008 conference program. Two new tracks have been added to the event program, which will now cover six highly relevant and timely themes of contamination control for cleanrooms and clean manufacturing.
Solar Technology Manufacturing
Over the last 20 years, solar energy demand has grown 20 to 25 percent per year, and with the development of increasingly efficient solar cells and more efficient/higher-yield manufacturing technology, this rapid growth is only expected to continue. Similar in many ways to semiconductor fabrication, solar technology also has its own unique contamination control challenges, particularly in material purity requirements. The sheer scale of manufacturing operations also presents a totally different paradigm for solution providers who must balance cost-effective mass production requirements against contamination issues. This track will address the existing contamination control needs, available solutions, and future demands of this critical industry.
Hospital Infection Control
Nosocomial, or hospital-acquired infections (HAIs), are receiving increased attention from health care monitoring and regulatory organizations worldwide. Beyond the alarming number of patient deaths caused annually from exposure to infection while receiving treatment for other unrelated illnesses or injuries, today there is the additional threat posed by a globally mobile population and the very real potential for wide-scale epidemics. This track tackles the subject by examining how new contamination and infection control practices, technology, and standards can be brought to bear on this problem in health care facilities.
Advanced Life Science Manufacturing
With the rapid emergence of new life science processes and products, critical new contamination control challenges are being identified, challenges that need to be addressed with innovative technological solutions. At the same time, however, market pressures to rapidly develop and deliver affordable medications to patients must also be considered. From new vaccines, to an exponentially expanding number of new biopharmaceuticals, to the next generation of combination medical device and pharmaceutical products, a host of new challenges arise, and new contamination control solutions are needed. This track will discuss some of these new technologies, their effective implementation, and future demands and obstacles.
Ultrapure Semiconductor Processing & Molecular Contamination Control
Today, the challenge of molecular contamination control has become a mainstream concern for semiconductor fabricators with a very real impact on yield and profitability. Manufacturers, facility designers, tool builders, and contamination control professionals alike are all working hard to not only implement stop-gap solutions but also to more fully understand molecular-level defects, complex mechanical and chemical interactions, and the impact of process equipment, gas and chemical delivery systems, and facility designs on the problem. This special program track will specifically address this next generation of contamination control technology, looking at both cost-effectively meeting existing challenges today and where new research, equipment, and technology expenditures promise the greatest return on investment.
Automotive Technical Cleaning & Sauberraum
Consumer demand for ever more reliable and higher quality vehicles continues to drive both automotive manufacturers and their subcontractors toward cleaner, more tightly controlled and monitored manufacturing processes and assembly areas. In addition, one of the most contamination-sensitive operations of automobile manufacturing???painting and finishing???is also one of the most energy hungry. This exciting new CleanRooms Europe conference track will examine current and future cleanliness specifications for automobile manufacturers and subcontractors, the clean process supply chain, energy saving control systems, and adaptive measurement techniques for “sauberraum” (clean area) environments.
Standards Activities & Energy Saving Design & Operation Techniques
Cleanrooms and controlled environments are an integral part of just about every major high technology industry, as well as many others not generally considered in this category. As such, they play a huge role not only in the profitability of individual companies and industries, but also in the total global goal of more efficient energy usage. Designing for energy efficiency is a complex and wide-ranging challenge involving not only initial structural design and efficient infrastructure services, but sophisticated control and monitoring systems, operational procedures, and protocols as well. This track will focus on this critical area, looking at existing industry cleanroom and contamination control standards and how these can be best met with energy-efficient designs and how new technologies can be applied cost effectively.
One-day Course Program: Contamination Control Essentials
Presented by internationally recognized contamination control expert Dr. Hans Schicht, this course provides participants with a thorough understanding of the many different considerations involved in the design, construction, qualification, and operation of cleanrooms and clean facilities. Graduates completing this intensive one-day course will receive a certificate attesting to their having gained the competence and background knowledge for assuming responsible and creative positions in the contamination and biocontamination control field.
Course includes training on:
- Determining cleanliness zoning concepts
- Elaborating and optimizing the layout of clean facilities
- Preparing basic specifications and qualification master plans for cleanroom systems
- Evaluating and assessing technical proposals
- Developing qualification strategies
- Understanding the different standards and regulatory requirements for clean facilities
Part 1: Objectives and basic principles
This session of the course will begin with a survey of the impact of cleanroom technology upon society. It will then cover topics such as contamination and biocontamination control objectives; contamination sources; detection of particles and microorganisms; air filtration; unidirectional vs. turbulent airflow; and segregation of areas with different air cleanliness requirements.
Part 2: Standards and regulatory guidance
The ISO family of cleanroom standards, covering a broad range of topics such as air cleanliness classification, design, testing, qualification, and operation, provides the benchmark for performance and quality of contamination and biocontamination systems. This session will focus on the IEST recommended practices and VDI guidelines, as well as the GMP determinations for pharmaceutical cleanrooms.
Part 3: Design and construction of clean facilities
Implementing a clean environment is no small task. Many different aspects require consideration and harmonization such as process requirements; product quality; the safety of product and personnel; building design; wall, floor, and ceiling construction; and air circulation. This session will focus on cleanliness zoning concepts, material, personnel flow, facility layout development, and risk assessment. Topics will include HVAC systems used for clean areas and about the maximized process and operator protection provided by minienvironments and isolators. This session will be illustrated with examples from the semiconductor, pharmaceutical, and hospital fields.
Part 4: Air handling system considerations
From the contamination control point of view, the air handling system is above all responsible for achieving and maintaining the air cleanliness stipulations to be met by the clean facility. The system is also responsible for maintaining the specified thermal conditions (the temperature and relative humidity) in the air of the rooms allotted to the system. This session covers the options for air handling systems, such as the airflow patterns and protection areas, and suggests ways to minimize life cycle costs.
Part 5: Special contamination control concepts
Contamination control concerns vary significantly from one application or industry to the next. In order to apply the previously addressed standards, physical design, and layout concepts, one must be aware of the considerations that will impact each type of facility. The session will focus on contamination control concepts specifically developed for the following application areas: facilities for the production of semiconductor devices; advanced protection schemes for aseptic processing of medicinal products; and ultra-high-safety facilities for biotechnological applications, especially the handling of highly contagious or genetically modified microorganisms.
Part 6: Qualification, monitoring, the human factor
Rounding out the course will be an overview on qualification issues. What are the qualification principles and what standards and regulatory requirements have to be met? How do you develop qualification strategies and assess risks and hazards? What are the objectives of change control? How do you interlink the different stages of design development with qualification? How do you prepare a qualification master plan for clean facilities? What are the main parameters to check and evaluate in cleanroom qualification and during process monitoring? What is the role of the human being in the contamination control context?

Daily work in the pharmaceutical, genetic engineering, biotechnology, cosmetic, food, and chemical industries often involves toxic substances that must be handled in accordance with strict guidelines. For these cases, the WIBObarrier® by Weiss GWE can be used. The WIBObarrier® air guiding system works on a three-zone principle: A twin clean-air curtain separates the product area from other ambient areas; the supply air is given via an integrated H14 air filter in an unidirectional flow into the object area behind the clean-air curtain; and the contaminated air is vented at the front exhaust system. Thus, the product is protected against contamination, and the technician and remaining room are protected against dangerous emissions. Legal requirements governing the handling of substances (standard technical concentration and maximum workplace concentration) are exceeded, thanks to efficient contaminant capture. Protective factors >100,000 have already been achieved. WIBObarrier® cleanroom workplaces can function as autarkic units with circulating air, independent of on-site ventilation. They can also be connected to the on-site exhaust air system.

ZOTEK® F42 HT LS, based on Kynar® PVDF resin, is the only foam to have achieved the “specification tested” status against the FM 4910 test protocol. This specific grade is used to make T-Tubes®, an advanced insulation system developed for cleanroom stainless-steel process lines and equipment. They require no jacketing and have a temperature range of ???50° to +155°C. With a wall thickness of only 0.25 inches (6.35 mm), T-Tubes® save significant space. Installation is easy and fast with custom molded fittings and an overlapping self-adhering tape. The tubes are also moisture, chemical, and UV resistant. Their fine closed-cell nature allows for cutting and installing in clean environments without the use of bags or hoods.
