Although the cutting-edge concept of cleanroom was adapted in various sectors since quite some time, the contemporary cleanroom was drastically advanced in order to resolve the earlier proems that were related to unpredictable airflows in the mid nineteenth century. The inclusion and the practice of constant filtration of air and systematic pumping in of filtered air inside the required area and suction of the impure air outside for recirculation. Later in this sector, more innovations and developments like laminar air flow units, clean room air showers, and similar came out depending on the location and the purpose. Since the area of applications of cleanrooms is quite wide spread, not every cleanroom is similar in construction and functioning.

While the places and areas where the environment need not be sterile, with respect to microbes, like in the case of semiconductor manufacturing, the structure and process of maintaining a clean atmosphere is done in accordance to the need. But however there is something that is common to all cleanrooms that is the stringent regulation of airborne particulates. The particulates ...
... must be taken care of then there is always a chance of unwanted entities entering the clean room or leaving the clean room. Since the entry of any unwanted airborne particulate material plays a major role it has to be carefully considered.

The process involved in maintaining a cleanroom can be briefly explained as, the filtration of the air entering into the designated room with the help of air handlers, comprising of fine quality air filters that can efficiently control even the minute particulate matter form entering the area. Once this is carried out successfully then the filter air that is allowed into the area will be circulated in such as way through fan units, equipped with hepa filters and ultra-filters in order to eliminate any internally generated particulate contaminants.

Other important aspects that are considered while construction a clean room are the lighting, partition walls, relevant cleanroom equipment like tables, racks, shelves and other allied materials that are used must be fabricated in such a way that they do not trap any particulate matter. This apart, after the air is filtered the inside temperature and humidity levels present inside the cleanroom are securely organized by inducing a measured volume of charged ions in order to lessen the amount of static electricity related issues that may crop up especially in semiconductor industry. In a nut shell, the construction of a clean room is a well organised meticulous process intended to minimise or totally eliminate the entry of particulate matter, microbes and other unwanted material into a cleanroom or a designated area proposed to carry out specific productive activities. Located in Singapore organizations like Airtech have been supplying cleanroom equipment and materials, and assisting institutions in setting up cleanrooms, maintaining and them efficiently.
