ARDMAC
Intelligent Design Dry cleanrooms require an integrated design of each contamination risk element. There can be no split responsibilities over performance and accountability; this only leads to over design and inefficiencies, with an unnecessary increase in capital expenditure and then operational expenditure. Smart Control Every extra gram of moisture that has to be treated adds an unnecessary cost. Ardmac uses ‘Smart’ adaptive demand based control, with continuous monitoring of critical environmental parameters of moisture content, airborne particles and static charge levels. This real-time information, when coupled with integrated control of MALs and PALs ensures no moisture ingress during operations and precise contamination control, in the most efficient and cost effective manner. Energy Efficient Ardmac has a particular expertise in dry cleanrooms and integrating ‘Smart’ HVAC systems and desiccant dryers. ‘Smart’ design principles are important when developing airlocks (MALs & PALs) to control air infiltration before it gets into the dry cleanroom and sensitive lithium- ion battery processes. Air leakage and unnecessary moisture treatment are the unseen enemies of good operational efficiencies and OPEX control.
Working Smart Ardmac work ‘Smart’, meaning we deploy innovative and integrated technologies throughout our business to coordinate our building processes and drive performance. We apply Lean construction and cloud based collaboration tools including BIM, Last Planner, GoContractor and Procore to maximise value for our clients. By implementing these powerful tools, clients are directly embedded in the process and can see project performance in real time. Firestopping and Safeguarding There are inherent safety hazards involved with Li battery manufacturing processes, in particular, as their electrolytes are flammable by nature. Ardmac fire compartmentation for process segregation and isolation, for example those areas around aging ovens. provide dedicated In addition, off-gas monitoring is critical to guard against thermal runaway, which is an exothermic reaction in which lithium- ion battery cell temperatures rise rapidly in an uncontrollable manner, and toxic gases are vented, increasing the risk of personnel safety, fire and explosions.
Scale and Speed of Delivery Ardmac’s ability to deliver these fast track giga battery facilities is demonstrated by our proven ability to deliver complex large scale data centres and microelectronic facilities across the UK and Europe. There is no room for errors, either in design, co-ordination or execution to commissioning, performance verification, certification, handover and start-up. Speed of volume production is critical in this fast changing EV landscape. Vapour Shield Ardmac’s Vapour Shield approach – Ardmac are specialists in providing controlled environments with moisture and particle containment at the centre of our focus. We ensure all penetrations and joints are designed with vapour permeability in mind. This includes the entry and exit MAL and PAL barriers to moisture ingress.
