Cleanroom
What is Cleanroom?
Cleanrooms are defined as specially constructed, environmentally controlled enclosed spaces with respect to airborne particulates, temperature, humidity, air pressure, airflow patterns, air motion, vibration, noise, viable (living) organisms, and lighting. Particulate control includes:
- Particulate and microbial contamination
- Particulate concentration and dispersion
“Federal Standard 209E” defines a cleanroom as a room in which the concentration of airborne particles is controlled to specified limits. “British Standard 5295” defines a cleanroom as a room with control of particulate contamination, constructed and used in such a way as to minimize the introduction, generation and retention of particles inside the room and in which the temperature, humidity, airflow patterns, air motion and pressure are controlled.

Sectors using…..
Today, many manufacturing processes require that spaces be designed to control particulate and microbial contamination while maintaining reasonable installation and operating costs. Clean rooms are typically used in manufacturing, packaging, and research facilities associated with these industries:
Pharmaceutical: Cleanrooms control living particles that would produce undesirable bacterial growth in the preparation of biological, pharmaceutical, and other medical products as well as in genetic engineering research.
Semiconductor: This industry drives the state of the art clean room design, and this industry accounts for a significant number of all operating clean rooms. The semiconductor manufacturing requires very clean environment.
Sectors using…..
Aerospace: The manufacturing and assembling of aerospace electronics, missiles and satellites were the first application of cleanrooms. Large volume cleanroom spaces with extreme cleanliness are involved.
Food processing: Primary food processing turns agricultural products, such as raw wheat kernels or livestock into something that can eventually be eaten. This category includes ingredients that are produced by ancient processes such as drying, threshing, winnowing, and milling grain, shelling nuts, and butchering animals for meat.[1][2] It also includes deboning and cutting meat, freezing and smoking fish and meat, extracting and filtering oils, canning food, preserving food through food irradiation, and candling eggs, as well as homogenizing and pasteurizing milk.

Miscellaneous Applications: Other uses include advanced materials research, laser and optic industries, microelectronics facility, paint room and in aseptic foods production. Also in some high infection risk areas of hospitals. While hospital operating rooms can be considered clean spaces, their concern is to control types of contamination rather than the quantity of particles present.
Sources of contamination and Important control precautions:
- 1. Walls, floors, ceiling tiles, lighting fixtures, doors, and windows are construction materials that must be carefully selected to meet clean room standards.
- 2. People must wear garments to minimize the release of particles into the space. The type of garments depends on the level of cleanliness required by a process. Smocks, coveralls, gloves, and head and shoe covers are clothing accessories commonly used in clean spaces.
- 3. Materials and equipment must be cleaned before entering the clean room.
- 4. Room entrances such as air locks and pass-through are used to maintain pressure differentials and reduce contaminants.
- 5. Air showers are used to remove contaminants from personnel before entering the clean space.
Important Requisites Of a Cleanroom
- Temperature
- Relative Humidity
- Pressurisation
- Cleanliness Level
- Vibration
- Noise etc.,
