A California company who is a global leader in data storage solutions needed to meet specific contractual obligations for a new microelectronics manufacturing facility to be operational by the end of 2015. This directive drove the company to find durable filters for the new facility that would consistently perform well in efficiency testing. These filters also needed to effectively eliminate boron offgassing, which damages microelectronic circuit boards, leading to intermittent and hard failures.
Because there were extreme time constraints for filter installation in this new facility, this company required that the total filter installation process sustain a damage rate of less than 8 to 10%. A damage rate higher than 10% would mean that the contractually-mandated deadline for the facility to be operational by the end of 2015 would not be met.
In other facilities, this company had been using a filter that sustained a damage rate ranging from 8 to 10%. Due to this disappointing damage rate, additional filters always had to be ordered to compensate.
AAF demonstrated the durability of our MEGAcel II filter, showing that this filter has a superior resistance to damage. The ePTFE media in this filter met the airflow and resistance values required, demonstrating high efficiency and low energy consumption. The ePTFE media in the MEGAcel II filter performs at the highest level in critical areas with a near zero offgassing of chemical components.
We have an in-depth understanding of the filtration challenges for process control environments and the need for corrosion control, making us the preferred partner in protecting high process efficiency. Find out how we can help you optimize your HVAC systems.
Designed specifically for the unique requirements and challenges of the microelectronics manufacturing industry, the MEGAcel II mini-pleat HEPA filter has superior durability, polyalphaolefin (PAO) compatibility, high particulate filtration efficiency and the lowest pressure drop.
