VOLUME 1, NOV 2004
Two Semi-Conductor Clean Rooms
As a manufacturer of film for semi-
conductors, our client needed to maintain
a carefully balanced environment to
create a flawless product. In need of a
clean room for their New Jersey facility,
the Korean-based company called on
Monsen Engineering to design and install
a class 10,000 film slitting clean room and
a class 100,000 packaging room within
their existing warehouse.
C
HALLENGE
The project posed two challenges. The
first was to design a “room within a
room," which required working within the
confines of the existing building to create
a seamless expansion. The second was to
meet a six-month deadline that included
outfitting the entire project with
peripheral equipment to support the
installation of manufacturing equipment
from Korea.
S
OLUTION
Throughout the design phase, our
engineers worked closely with our client’s
engineering team to guarantee an efficient
manufacturing process.
The project required that our team select
and procure peripheral equipment such
as: pneumatic system, air shower,
automatic shutter doors, storage racking,
automatic pallet wrapping machine,
electric fork lift, and monorail hoist
system. In addition, our team was
responsible for rigging and assembling
the equipment shipped from Korea.
Upon completion, Monsen brought in
independent commissioning experts to
confirm that each room was operating
as expected. Our client’s marketing
group then used the commissioning
report to demonstrate the superior
quality of the environment in which they
produce their products.
R
ESULTS
Monsen’s effective design/build process
kept the project on time and within
budget. To ensure a successful outcome,
we performed commissioning throughout
all phases of the project. Most important,
Monsen’s single-source strategy
exceeded our client’s expectations for a
sophisticated manufacturing facility
where they have secured substantial
orders for their product from Fortune 100
companies.

Cold weather is approaching!
Here’s how to get your heating
system ready before the cold
temperatures arrive:
1. Change the equipment filters.
2. Thoroughly vacuum the duct
system to remove dust,
bacteria, and allergens.
3. Clean the coils. Dirty coils
hinder the unit’s ability to warm
the air moving through it.
4. Have the ducts inspected for
leaks. Gaps and cracks
account for a 25% to 40% loss
in heating efficiency.
5. Have the system checked for
carbon monoxide emissions.
Install a carbon monoxide
alarm.
6. Install digital thermostats.
Set the thermostat's timer to
automatically lower at night
and maintain a consistent
temperature during the day.

Rules of Thumb
Is your heating unit ready
for winter.
Calibration is more than just verifying
the accurate operation of your
electronic equipment. In highly
regulated industries such as yours,
instrument calibration is a mandatory
process that must take place at specific
times—usually every six months or
sooner. And whether
you have to meet ISO
9000, FDA Part 11, or
QS 9000 equipment
calibration standards,
your company must
document its
compliance.
