Case Study airmoTWA for air quality monitoring in clean air room - 1

Case Study N°I1 – Industrial Applications – Air Analysis in Clean Air Room – updated: 15.09.15 Case Study Industrial Applications Air Analysis in Clean Air Room Context & Challenges To ensure people’s safety and a good repeatability of industrial process, the analysis of ambient air is crucial. Especially, electronic boards are produced in clean air room by complex lithographic process using very reactive chemicals. The nature and concentration of volatile compounds can be different depending on the chemical process and can also vary rapidly. There is a need to analyze precisely and continuously gas process in air with an instrument designed for industrial use. Chromatotec® Solutions Chromatotec® has developed a turnkey solution which allows the quantification and identification of compounds at ppt, ppb, ppm and % levels. The airmoTWA is a new industry standard for online and continuous TRAP-GC-MS-FID. It encompasses a specific trap to concentrate the sample, a column for separation of chemicals and two detectors: a new micro flame ionization detector (FID) and a mass spectrometer for quantification and identification respectively. airmoTWA in clean air room Technical information and results Mapping of the chemical composition of the room airmoTWA can perform a mapping of the chemical composition of the clean air room. Thanks to the multiplexer, up to 12 streams can be analyzed automatically. The results obtained with the GC and the mass spectrometer will be monitored and saved. Each analysis lasts for 30 minutes. It allows the measurement of volatile compound concentrations down to 1 ppt. In the Figure 1, the chemical compound concentrations are displayed for the different sampling points. High concentrations of compound 1 can be measured on different points. It shows that either filtration processes are not efficient or instruments involved in the production process are leaking. This method is very good for the measurement of low concentrations even after filtration. With this method, the mass spectrometer will allow you to identify every single compound. sales@chromatotec.com www.chromatotec.com

Case Study N°I1 – Industrial Applications – Air Analysis in Clean Air Room – updated: 15.09.15 Leak detection Once high concentrations are measured in one location, shorter sequences of analysis can be used. For instance here a “6 minutes method” has been developed to detect the source of the leak. The probe is moved at different locations to localize precisely the source of the leak. ACIDE ACETIQUE Tool EL Tool In the Figure 2, a 3D plot of the chromatograms obtained using the 6 minutes method is shown. One cycle shows a high concentration. Using the mass spectrometer the nature of this...
