The Critical Cleaning Mindset
We're still putting together the complete schedule for this year's event. However, it's worth noting that PQCW21 sessions will include classroom instruction, laboratory experiences, and discussion opportunities through Q&A.
Here's a glimpse at some of the topics this year's event will cover:
The 5 S’s: Surfaces, Soils, Solutions, Safety, and Sustainability
Cleaning Agents and Processes – remove the soil, protect the product
- Aqueous, solvent, “non-chemical” (eg. Plasma, CO2)
- Solvents, solubility parameters
Cleaning Techniques
- Batch, ultrasonics, vacuum cycle cavitation, benchtop
- Degreasing, airless systems, systems for flammable cleaners
- Designing & monitoring the process
Process Design for Your Application
- E.g. Aerospace, electronics, medical/pharma, advanced automotive, optics
- Your cleaning team, your customers, your supply chain
- Selecting the process
- Getting the process up and running
Changing Regulations, Manufacturing Sustainability
- EPA TSCA reform, cleaning agent restrictions – making the most of available options
- Local, regional, national, and global situations
Cleanrooms, Controlled environments – when and how to use them
How Clean is Clean? Why isn’t it clean?
- Troubleshooting
- Quick tests
- Standards, specs, monitoring
- Picking the right cleaning tests
- Analytical testing demystified
- FTIR, GS/MS, etc
