Uncompromisingly against risks

Intelligent building engineering protects processes of pharmaceutical ones and chemistry buildings is far more than only � a roof over the head �. With the suitable building engineering they offer protection from different influences and dangers to humans and values. Straight within the range Life Science places special requirements to each step of the added value chain against the building infrastructure. The high safety requirements refer equivalently to the product protection, protection of individuals and environmental protection. Siemens as market leaders in the area of safety solutions had a broad pallet of solutions for these setting of tasks-high-activity active substances, explosions, fires and in particular the contamination of areas or products are the central risks in the processes of the chemical and pharmaceutical industry. They require specific preventive measures by intelligent building engineering solutions. With the applied risk management examines Siemens systematically and project-specifically the entire building infrastructure for conformity and safety risk setting of tasks for product protection raw materials, packing materials and finished products represents a substantial value. With their storage therefore the monitoring is appropriate by means of CCTV for the avoidance of unauthorized manipulations. Space conditions must be continuously supervised and completely documented, in order to exclude a possible influence on the product quality. In the production processes a substantial contamination danger proceeds from the personnel. Further aspects are here the cross contaminating between different production lines or production steps. Therefore an unintentional release must be absolutely prevented by materials from the respective production step. Strict control of the site conditions is � apart from appropriate constructional measures in the process � a central element of the product protection. An air conditioning of areas with positive pressure prevents the contamination (product protection), turned around with a negative pressure in the area is from the outside avoided that potentially dangerous materials can arrive into other ranges of the building (protection of individuals). Sicherheitsschleusen for the personnel and material locks, laminarly flow of banks for the handling of sensitiven materials and pure space ranges and insulators prevent a mikrobielle pollution. Systems of Siemens steer, regulate and supervise the air conditioning systems in all process steps. Integrated particle counters supervise continuously that the demanded pure space conditions are kept. Particularly in pharmaceutical industry Siemens supports its customers also with the validation of the systems in accordance with the defaults of the FDA and the appropriate European authorities. Setting of tasks in laboratory environments is protection of individuals particularly handling dangerous substances the everyday life. These are treated for this reason e.g. in laboratory departures. Beside the so-called front slidegate valve of the departure the air flow is the substantial safety barrier for the persons and Umwelt.Die Siemens laboratory solution particularly for this setting of tasks was developed and regulates in real time the flow rates both in the laboratory departure and in the entire laboratory area. Security is not only increased by the singular integration into the entire building infrastructure, but when expected side effect improves the energy efficiency of the laboratories over up to 50 per cent. Setting of tasks explosion and fire protection due to the used materials and substances as well as process steps with dust formation specific measures are indispensable to the explosion and fire protection in endangered buildings. Broad Siemens the portfolio covers on the one hand specific approaches for the control and regulation of spatial air-technical plants within ex ranges, and, for example flame alarm units and fire alarm for the explosion-proof range certified dedicated solutions and products for the fire protection, in order to recognize ignition sources and fires promptly and deception. Pure area places highest Anspr�cheDie of production processes in pure areas is characterized by above average high safety requirements. There perhaps toxic substances are used, and inflammable cleaning agents as well as dangerous substances are used for the disinfection. Often the processes save dangers of explosion. The absolute protection against impurities stands in highest place and requires specific safety solutions, how it offers the integrated pure space solution of Siemens. It supervises all quality relevant parameters of the building infrastructure such as temperature, dampness and differential pressure, flow rate and direction of flow as well as particle concentration. The connection of gas detection with the climatic regulation makes the adjustment for the change of air rate possible for the avoidance of a dangerous concentration of a gas. The largest single risk in a pure area is a fire and a second largest wrong fire alarm. In both cases the air treatment units are switched off and the pure space conditions within seconds are destroyed made in such a way. The air sample smoke signalling system of Siemens had specific algorithms for pure space's applications and avoids such false alarms.
