Production and design of clean rooms for the chemical industry
Delta2000 specializes in the design and manufacture of clean rooms for the chemical industry. Our skilled and experienced staff understands that every company has unique needs and is therefore committed to delivering a customized and highly personalized process to meet all the requirements of the chemical industry.
When designing clean rooms for the chemical industry, we create solutions that meet the following requirements:
- Possibility of expansion and reconfiguration of the structure for maximum optimization;
- Maximum air filtration and ventilation efficiency in the environment, for excellent cleanliness levels;
- Top-quality design, latest-generation materials and technologies, and new concepts;
- Fully customized configurations;
- Furnishing and storage solutions in line with the requirements for cleanroom accessories.
Clean rooms for the chemical industry
Production
Chemical production in clean rooms has different requirements depending on the industry of application. For this reason, our experts create customized projects that meet specific customer requirements, such as visibility, resistance to chemical agents, and static control.
Chemical production in clean rooms is used for all items that require a completely and constantly monitored production cycle. The monitoring activities of a clean room include, among other things:
- Continuous measurement of microparticles present in the environment
- Measurement of overpressure
- Calculation of air exchange rate
- Calculation and monitoring of ambient temperature
- Measurement and stabilization of air humidity
These constant checks make it possible to compare nominal parameters with actual values, as any deviations are immediately detected and corrected with precautionary measures taken by the monitored environment.
Chemical production in clean rooms therefore takes place following absolutely precise regulation of the working environment conditions and consistency of the various parameters that characterize it. This type of process guarantees not only the purity of the products, but also their high quality and total absence of contamination.

Atex Zone
The term Atex (Atmosphère Explosible) is an abbreviation of European Directive 94/9/EC on the placing on the market of explosion-proof equipment, mechanical and electrical protective systems, and components. This directive applies to manufacturers of products intended for use in areas classified as “at risk of explosion.”
The products covered by Atex also include: control devices, monitoring devices, and regulating devices. These are located outside explosion risk environments but, at the same time, ensure the safe use of explosion protection systems.
Environments designated as Atex are divided as follows:
Material: gas, vapors, or clouds
- Zone 0: in this zone, the explosive atmosphere consists of a mixture of air and flammable substances, present in the form of vapor, gas, or mist for a continuous period.
- Zone 1: in this location, an explosive atmosphere consisting of a mixture of flammable substances in the air, such as gases, mist or vapor, is likely to occur occasionally.
- Zone 2: in this location, the explosive atmosphere consists of a mixture of air and flammable substances in the form of mist, gas or vapor, which persists only for short periods.
Material: powders
- Zone 20: An explosive atmosphere may occur in the form of a cloud of combustible dusts present continuously, frequently, or for long periods in the environment.
- Zone 21: An explosive atmosphere may occur in the form of a cloud of combustible dusts that occasionally occurs in the air.
- Zone 22: The explosive atmosphere may occur in the form of a cloud of combustible dust that persists in the air only for a short period of time.
Among the most common causes of explosions are sparks, the presence of flames or hot gases, overheating, spontaneous combustion of dust, electrostatic charges, electromagnetic waves, and radio frequencies.
The industrial sectors covered by Atex include shipyards, fuels, electronics, agri-food, chemical-pharmaceutical, painting and laser technology, shooting ranges, the arms industry, and cosmetics.
