AM Technical Solutions (AM) is thrilled to announce that we have been selected to present at ESTECH 2025, the premier conference for professionals in contamination control, cleanrooms, and nanotechnology facilities.
Join us on Monday, May 5, 2025, at 1:15 p.m. EST in Orlando, Florida, as we deliver our presentation, “Challenges of Designing a Waste Collection for an Existing Operating Nanotechnology Cleanroom.”
Hosted by the Institute of Environmental Sciences and Technology (IEST), ESTECH is the leading annual event that connects professionals dedicated to pursuing the best methods for managing controlled environments, such as cleanrooms.
Our presenters Molly Gawura (Chemical Process Engineering Manager) and Bart Benz, PE, CSP (Senior Process Engineer and Certified Safety Professional) will provide in-depth expertise and insights from our recent work on a unique and challenging nanotechnology cleanroom project.
Why Attend Our Presentation at ESTECH 2025
Molly and Bart will provide in-depth insights into a recent case study. This project tackled the replacement of a clogged hazardous waste collection system in a live, operating nanotechnology cleanroom, which was a complex and high-stakes task.
The presentation will focus on how we tackled the challenge of replacing a clogged hazardous waste collection system in a live nanotech cleanroom while managing a flammable waste stream and non-HPM (Hazardous Production Materials)-coded spaces.
The key takeaways for attendees will include:
- Navigating code compliance for HPM materials.
- System boundary definition and custom equipment design.
- Coordination of HVAC, fire suppression, and life safety strategies.
- Lessons learned from testing, commissioning, and Authority Having Jurisdiction (AHJ) interactions.
This session is ideal for professionals who lead and manage projects in cleanrooms or other complex, code-sensitive environments. You will have the opportunity to discover how to rethink and innovate waste system modifications in operational spaces.
