Clean Room Filters Analyzed in the Productivity Hub
Last week Mcilvaine launched the AWE Productivity Hub to help suppliers validate value propositions and for purchasers to reduce the cost of ownership. It is the final step in the Mcilvaine MPM program which helps suppliers identify the most profitable niches and prepare value propositions for them.
This week we picked cleanroom filters as an example of how the Hub can be utilized. The segments include Analyses, Media, Value Participants - Brief, Value Propositions - Participants, Discussions and News
The first Participant Value Propositions include several on MHI power products and one on cleanrooms supplied by AES Clean Technology. They have a pre-designed modular cleanroom and are concerned about breaks in the filter media slowing down the installation process. They also want to make the best choices between HEPA and ULPA and between glass versus membranes.
AES Clean was a participant in our 2018 Discussion which is in the Hub.
ANALYSES
This section provides the background data. One of the many segments is on the total cost of ownership of cleanroom filters https://www.home.mcilvainecompany.com/images/HEPA_Filter_TCO_Factors.pdf
This comparison of media materials and configurations was published by Mcilvaine in 2018 and represents summaries of webinars and other discussions with vendors and one purchaser, AES Clean. Here are extracts from this discussion.
|
AAF |
Membranes have advantages over glass. MPPS not the best way to determine efficiency. |
|
AES Clean Technology |
Project schedule is critical and one of the risks is damaged HEPA filters. |
|
Ahlstrom |
Improved stiffness and mechanical resistance reduce glass fragility. |
|
Camfil |
Polymeric thick media has more effective filtration area than glass and less risk of failure. |
|
H&V |
Glass with clean pleats has better efficiency/energy ratio. |
|
Nitto Denko |
ULPA with two membrane layers sandwiched between non wovens has low outgassing. |
|
M +H |
Tri-Pure HEPA/ULPA has low profile for use in sensitive areas. |
|
Parker Hannifin |
MICROPLEAT is available in a range of blends. |
We are now expanding this original effort and have been compiling information in the Hub.
