How is the Process Environment Monitored and Controlled?
To maintain a stable process environment, various monitoring and control systems are employed. These include:
Environmental Sensors Sensors are used to continuously monitor temperature, pressure, humidity, and chemical composition. These sensors provide real-time data, allowing for immediate adjustments to maintain optimal conditions.
Feedback Control Systems Automated feedback control systems can adjust environmental parameters based on sensor data. For example, if the temperature deviates from the desired range, the system can activate heating or cooling mechanisms to bring it back to the set point.
Air Filtration Systems In cleanrooms, advanced air filtration systems are used to remove particles and contaminants. These systems include HEPA filters and laminar flow hoods to ensure that the air remains clean and free of particulates.
