What Is A Cleanroom?
A cleanroom is an enclosed, classified space with controlled reduction of airborne particles and environmental parameters (e.g. humidity, pressure, temperature, etc) as per specified limits.
As control over the environment, especially during biopharma manufacturing is an essential consideration for maintaining product quality and safety; there is a heightened demand for efficient cleanrooms in the biopharma sector. Given the high stakes and growing interest in modular construction, biopharma companies are gravitating towards prefabricated, portable modular cleanrooms – a reliable solution for their biopharma development and manufacturing needs.
Particle control in a prefabricated modular cleanroom environment is typically achieved in the following ways:
- The cleanroom is supplied with a large volume of air that is filtered through high-efficiency HEPA or ULPA filters for diluting and removing particles, chemicals, and bacteria from the controlled environment.
- The cleanroom itself should be built with materials which do not produce outgas airborne chemicals and other contaminants, and should be easy to clean.
- Operators working in the cleanroom must wear proper garments which minimise the dispersal of micro-organisms and particles from clothing fibers, skin flakes, hair, etc.
Features of Portable Modular Cleanrooms
Plug & play
ideal for time-sensitive projects
This feature called ‘plug & play’ suggests that modular cleanroom systems are designed for fast and easy installation, making them suitable for projects wherein quick deployment is needed.
Pre-fabricated and pre-engineered multi-processing units
The components of modular cleanrooms are manufactured off-site and assembled on-site at the client’s facility. The approach contributes to greater precision and efficiency in construction.
Fully self-contained
These clean rooms are designed as self-contained units that provide autonomous control over various environmental factors, like humidity, temperature, particle levels, etc. This allows the cleanroom to operate independently, while meeting the rigorous cleanliness standards.
Portable
Modular cleanrooms can be easily moved from one place to another. Their portability makes them an ideal choice for projects that need temporary installations or frequent mobility.
Bespoke, flexible, and scalable
These cleanrooms can be tailored to meet your specific needs, easily adapted to various changes during operations, and scaled up/down as required.
Decreases design & installation timescales
The prefabricated components of a modular cleanroom contribute to a more rapid deployment than conventional construction methods.
Includes: HVAC, lighting, plumbing, monitoring, etc
Mobile portable cleanrooms are comprehensive systems with all the essential components integrated into their pre-fabricated structure.
More cost-effective than conventional cleanroom construction
The cost of portable cleanroom systems is significantly lower than conventional cleanrooms owing to the former’s modular design that takes lesser construction time and generates lesser material waste, contributing to overall lower project costs.
No additional structural support needed
These cleanrooms are self-supporting and do not need any structural support from the existing building. Their ease of integration makes them a popular choice for biopharma development and manufacturing.
Requires only a small installation team
Assembling a portable modular cleanroom is simpler and faster compared to a conventional cleanroom, and needs a smaller installation team.
