PURAFIL NEWS

Purafil Technical Director, Chris Muller, was recently named the recipient of the 2008 Maurice Simpson Technical Editors Award by the Institute of Environmental Sciences and Technology (IEST). Chris was nominated for his comprehensive, technical paper entitled, Comparison of Chemical Filters for the Control of Airborne Molecular Contamination. The paper was published in the 2007 Journal of the IEST, garnering Chris an award traditionally presented to authors of the best technical papers published by the IEST during the preceding year.

ASSESSMENT TOOLS


Purafil Environmental Reactivity Coupon
 Passive Assessment: Environmental Reactivity Coupons

The Purafil Environmental Reactivity Coupon (ERC) uses copper and silver-plated sensors to measure the level of airborne molecular contaminants (AMC). As part of Purafil’s assessment service, Purafil’s laboratory analyzes field-exposed coupons and provides a comprehensive report detailing the species of contaminants that exist and the overall AMC severity level.
Why use ERCs for Environmental Assessment?
Purafil’s passive assessment service takes into account the synergistic effects of multiple contaminants present. Also, the results of Purafil’s ERC analysis can be related directly to acceptance criteria for air quality in cleanrooms.

Purafil OnGuard® Environmental Reactivity Monitor
Active Assessment: OnGuard® Monitor

Purafil offers the only reactivity monitor capable of measuring real-time corrosion severity levels that correlate to air quality classifications. The OnGuard Environmental Reactivity Monitor (ERM) uses highly-sensitive, quartz crystal microbalance sensors to continuously measure in real-time the total environmental corrosion due to the presence of AMC.

Why use OnGuard® for Environmental Assessment?
The OnGuard provides continuous monitoring data necessary to establish air quality trends and relationships between AMC levels and the effects on process reliability. OnGuard takes into account the synergistic effects of multiple contaminants present and results can be related directly to acceptance criteria for air quality in cleanrooms.
