SCOPE
Cleanroom design and planning
Cleanroom design in Malaysia starts with the classification you actually need, not the one you can afford to over-specify.
INCLUDED
Included
- Zoning and classification map
- Airflow direction and pressure cascade
- Personnel and material flow routes
- Gowning and airlock sequence
- Air change rate calculation
- Equipment and utility coordination
WHERE IT GOES WRONG
The layout is where classification, material flow and personnel flow either agree with each other or do not. Most of what is expensive to fix later is decided on this drawing, before any panel is priced.
WHAT THE PLAN SETTLES
Four decisions, in this order
Planning is a sequence, not a drawing. Each decision below constrains the next, and taking them out of order is what produces a room that cannot hold its class without rework.
- Classification per room. Set against what the product is exposed to, not against the tightest number anyone in the room is comfortable with. One class tighter than needed costs air for the life of the building.
- Pressure cascade and direction. Decided once the class per room is fixed. Direction follows from what you are protecting: the product, the operator, or both.
- Personnel and material flow. Gowning sequence, airlocks and transfer routes. The circulation plan has to keep incoming material away from work already finished.
- Plant space and clear void. Air handling, ducts and terminal filtration need room above the ceiling. The available void is what decides whether the first three decisions are buildable.
INPUTS
What we need from you
- Floor plan with ceiling height
- Process description and batch scale
- Target classification or regulatory route
- Equipment list and heat load, if known
