When most people think of renewable energy they think of windmills, solar panels and EV (electrified vehicles). At AdvanceTEC we think of cleanrooms for hyper-pure polysilicon, cleanrooms for ion lithium battery fabrication, and cleanrooms for materials science searching for the next energy efficient nano-materials. We think of harnessing the power of the sun, storing it efficiently, and transporting it to its point of use at the speed of light. AdvanceTEC’s Cleanroom Integration expertise has been successfully leveraged by clients in the renewable energy and energy distribution space. Renewable Energy Cleanroom Considerations AdvanceTEC’s Cleanroom Integration has led some of the most advanced efforts for renewable energy industry. While each client and project has been different, there are key attributes that are common across the market. General Cleanroom Design Considerations - Trace metals cleanrooms - Analytical trace metals labs - Temperature, humidity, static control - Ultra-low humidity clean dry rooms - Airflow arrangements - HVAC configurations - BMS (Building Management Systems) controls - Ultra-high purity water (ASTM E1, ASTM E1.1, ASTM E1.2) - Ultra-high purity gases and orbital welded stainless - Vibration abatement - Scrubbed exhaust - Waste abatement - Gowning and cleaning protocols Renewable Energy Cleanroom Specifications Specifications vary based on the technology pursuit and the required process requirements. Typical renewable energy processes can be performed in a mix of ISO 5 (Class 100) or ISO 6 (Class 1,000) environment to an ISO 7 (Class 10,000) or ISO 8 (Class 100,000) environment base on project requirement. Provided below are typical specifications: ISO Classification - ISO 4 – (Class 10) – 300-540 ACH - ISO 5 – (Class 100) – 240-480 ACH - ISO 6 – (Class 1,000) – 150-240 ACH - ISO 7 – (Class 10,000) – 60-90 ACH - ISO 8 – (Class 100,000) – 5-48 ACH
