Cleanzone Conference presents top speakers and trending topics

With four fascinating topic areas ‘Cleanroom for life’, ‘Upgrade your cleanroom efficiency’, ‘Clean life sciences – the next level’ and ‘Cleanrooms: Modelling the future’, the Cleanzone Conference 2018 delivers expertise for cleanroom operators in fields ranging from life sciences to microtechnology - and it does so for experts and newcomers alike. Participants can book anything from one to four modules with as many as five presentations, all in keeping with their areas of interest.

Cleanroom for life

When customers suddenly demand cleanroom quality, suppliers are often at a loss. Numerous questions arise, including: Does it really have to be a high-level cleanroom? Which cleanroom class is best suited to my production operations? In his presentation, Professor Dr. Horst Weißsieker, a certified expert for the field of cleanroom technology, addresses these very issues while offering tips on finding the right solutions.

Dr. Christian Raiss, a hospital hygiene specialist at Hygiene-Institut AYSID GmbH, reveals the possibilities for obtaining an immediate overview of existing bacterial load.

Upgrade your cleanroom efficiency

Cleanroom efficiency has many facets. In addition to energy savings, especially through ventilation and air-conditioning technology, efforts to improve efficiency are currently focusing on new software solutions, as these make it possible to simplify processes while optimally linking people and machines, resulting in improved information flows and a reduction in disruptions. Yet efficiency also means creating the precise clean production conditions that are necessary to ensure product quality and personal safety - no more, and no less. All of these aspects are covered in the module ‘Upgrade your cleanroom efficiency’. The roster of speakers here includes Professor Dr.-Ing. Martin Kriegel, a ventilation expert from the Hermann-Rietschel-Institut at the Technical University of Berlin, and Dr. Udo Gommel, a cleanroom technology specialist from Fraunhofer IPA in Stuttgart.

Clean life sciences - the next level

As a result of highly toxic cytotoxic drugs, new forms of individualised therapy and the development of a new generation of antibiotics, the protection of products and people in cleanrooms is playing an increasingly important role in the medical field. In order to guarantee personal safety, various safety measures are necessary, including closed product transfer systems. The containment specialist Richard Denk from Skan will be discussing this topic in the module ‘Clean life sciences – the next level’. In the same block, Nikolaus Ferstl, Technical Director at University Hospital Regensburg, will be talking about germicidal surfaces, new systems engineering capabilities and innovative software for hygienic and efficient pharmaceutical production.

Cleanrooms: Modelling the future

The use of digital twins for process simulations is becoming ever more important to the field of cleanroom technology, and not just in production – it is equally important when planning, constructing and operating these facilities. Professor Dr.-Ing. Christoph van Treeck, Chair of the Institute of Energy Efficiency and Sustainable Building at RWTH Aachen University, will be devoting his presentation to whether we are BIM ready. Frank Jansen, responsible for building technology and building services engineering at the Association of German Engineers (VDI), delves into the use of the BIM (Building Information Modelling) method for building planning and talks about the opportunities and risks it brings for cleanroom technology.
