Cleanroom Design

This book has been written by an international body of authors working in a variety of industries including electronics, biotechnology and pharmaceuticals, who discuss the considerations to be taken into account when designing cleanrooms. Three chapters describe how cleanrooms are designed for the principal manufacturing areas of microelectronics, pharmaceutical manufacturing and biotechnology. Other subjects covered are international design standards, the economics of cleanroom design, high efficiency air filtration, materials used in cleanroom construction, and the provision of clean gases and water. A unique feature of this new edition includes the application of cleanroom design technology to a mini environment such as a bench-top.Dieses Buch wurde von einer internationalen Autorengruppe verfasst, die in verschiedenen Industriebereichen wie z.B. Elektronik, Biotechnologie und Pharmazie tätig sind. Die Autoren besprechen, was beim Bau von Reinsträumen beachtet werden muß. Drei Kapitel beschreiben, wie Reinsträume für die Hauptproduktionsbereiche Mikroelektronik, Pharmazie und Biotechnologie konstruiert werden. Weitere Themen sind internationale Konstruktionsnormen, Wirtschaftlichkeit von Reinsträumen, hochwirksame Luftfiltration, verwendete Materialien beim Bau von Reinsträumen und Zufuhr von reinen Gasen und Wasser.

WILLIAM WHYTE is an international authority in cleanrooms, with over 45 years experience in research, teaching and consulting in the electronic, healthcare and pharmaceutical industries. He is a member of British and International standards committees writing the International Cleanroom standards, and has received numerous awards for his work in Cleanroom Technology.

Demand for cleanrooms is flourishing as manufacturing becomes increasingly sophisticated. From computers and CD players to medicines and convenience foods, more and more products require high levels of contamination control. Fully revised and updated, Cleanroom Design, Second Edition presents the latest advances in the field. Written by a highly experienced team of international authors, the broad coverage encompasses the design of cleanrooms for the microelectronics, pharmaceutical, medical device and biotechnology industries. Features include:

• New chapter on the design of medical devices featuring configurations for heart pacemakers and aortic bioprostheses
• Examination of the international standards for the design of cleanrooms providing the designer with a concise information source
• Discussion of cost-efficiency and energy-saving concepts such as minimizing the air flow rate and the impact of mini-environments
• Section on high efficiency air filtration looking at filter standards and testing
• Practical guidance on construction materials and surface finishes, pipework design, the production and transmission of high purity gases and water purification techniques

Based on practical industrial experience, this clear and informative guide will be a boon to all involved in the design of cleanrooms.
