FLOVENT is a powerful Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) software that predicts
3D airflow, heat transfer, and contamination distribution in buildings of all
types and sizes. The menu system is designed specifically for engineers involved
in the design and optimization of heating, ventilating, and air-conditioning
(HVAC) systems. No matter how complex the airflow application is, this modeling
software enables the user to understand it more comprehensively through the
medium of virtual reality and computer 3-D animation.

Sterile Glove Platform - Cardinal Health
This patented glove platform decreases allergens while maintaining the superior
characteristics, properties, and performance of a natural rubber latex glove.
An innovative-patented powder-free coating technology uses chlorination and
manufacturing processes to produce a glove with superior “effortless” donning
capability, exceptional fit, and soft feel. Since this process requires only
one-third as much chlorine as non-coated gloves, it can be eco-friendly. In
addition, the creation of new blends and technologies of synthetic materials
has created an unparalleled advanced glove platform without the natural rubber
allergens.

Interchangeable Mop Hardware System - Contec,Inc.
This new interchangeable mop hardware system simplifies cleaning while allowing
for maximum flexibility in critical environments. The new telescoping stainless
steel and anodized aluminum interchangeable handles smoothly expand from 50” to
92”. The quick connect feature allows for easy, speedy attachment of
the head to the handle. Another improvement is the capped end on both the heads
and handles,
which inhibits contamination and bacteria growth. This new system is compatible
with all Contec interchangeable handles.
WATER/CHEMICALS/GASES:
Liquozon®Ozonated Water Delivery Subsystem - MKS
Instruments,Inc.
The Liquozon® Ozonated Water Delivery Subsystems provide an environmentally
friendly alternative to many toxic and corrosive chemical processes in the
semiconductor industry. They offer the highest dissolved ozone concentration
available up to 90 ppm, at flows 5 to 60 liters per minute. The wide flow range
accommodates a broad array of process requirements. And the closed-loop control
ensures a stable ozone concentration even at variable flow rates. The 03-based
processes have not only shown to be effective environmentally safer alternatives,
but also improve performance, while reducing chemical consumption and lowering
costs.

Class 10 Cleanroom Chairs - BioFit Engineered Products
These Class 10 cleanroom and cleanroom/ static control chairs are the only
chairs manufactured in a cleanroom. The chairs provide comfort, support posture
changes, and accommodate working at desk, bench, or high-bench level. Particle
emission is minimized by the special sealant process, and filter media is used
that traps particles as small as 0.3 microns, surpassing the ANSI and ISO standards.
Adjustable armrests both in height and width provide support for individual
users, and helps reduce the potential for particle emissions generated by a
gown contacting an armrest.
Provides cleaning services for controlled environments such as pharmaceutical,
microelectronic and semiconductor manufacturing, life science laboratories,
data centers and computer rooms. They offer a comprehensive package of services
for controlled environments ranging from particle and sterile cleaning, ESD
floor care and testing, and cleanroom auditing to training and FDA certification
and compliance. Their reliable, expertly trained, and supervised technicians
understand the importance of cleanroom protocol and Federal and ISO standards
compliance. An ISO 9001 certified company, Pegasus has the expertise and experience
to design and implement a contamination control and maintenance program for
controlled environments for ISO 14644 Classes 1 to 8.
These Handheld 2016 particle counters are ergonomically designed and lightweight.
They offer six channels of simultaneous particle counting, and display both
cumulative and differential particle count data as well as temperature/relative
humidity data on its easy to read 3.8” (9.65cm) touch screen. A removable
battery maximizes the handheld’s uptime. Data is easily downloaded using
the data transfer software. The handheld can be used as a mobile particle monitor
or can become a part of a large facility monitoring/management system.
BEST FACILITY AWARD:
Naval Research Laboratory – Institute for Nanoscience
- AdvanceTEC LLC
In October 2003, the contract for purchase of cleanroom zones 7-10 for the
Naval Research Laboratory – Institute for Nanoscience was issued to AdvanceTEC.
These cleanrooms were built differently from the initial blueprints of zones
1-6 (already complete) based on recommendations from Ad-vanceTEC to provide
a more usable and maintainable product. The contract called for design and
construction of a 2,000 square foot Class 100 R&D Nanotech Facility for
Sensor Research, including mechanical services, cleanroom envelope, process
systems, exhaust systems, structural engineering and EMI and Vibration Isolation
Systems. Process systems include DI water system, process gases, chilled water
system, acid exhaust, and solvent exhaust.
Additional systems included build-in redundancy in the air handlers obtained
with a fan wall system, a high integrity ceiling grid system, a redesigned
return air system to significantly reduce noise and a redesigned wall system
to reduce vibration.
The 5,000 square foot Class 100 cleanroom is divided into four areas. Zones
1-6 equal 3000 square feet of “ballroom” that house the deposition,
gas etch, wet etch, and characterization equipment. These zones are individually
monitored and controlled for temperature and humidity. Zones 7 & 8 are
the photolithography areas that require charcoal filtration and zones 9 & 10
house sensitive microscopes and E-Beam Writers that require temperature control
to 0.1 degree centigrade.
AdvanceTEC made significant design modifications and innovations and built
Zones 7-10 providing a significantly more usable and maintainable product for
their client while working within the confines of an existing workspace and
budget.
