Celebrating first joint-effort between Exyte Services and Airgard for a commissioning project
Airgard is pleased to announce that we have successfully completed our first joint effort with Exyte Services to commission an Airgard system for a key client in Singapore. The commissioning involved a used scrubber system that was moved from one fab to another to replace an old epi scrubber that needed to be removed and scrapped. Prior to the move-in and installation, the Airgard unit was flushed and cleaned. Once the system was positioned and tied into utilities, the Exyte Services and Airgard FSE team were able to perform a thorough commissioning and start-up.
As part of the commissioning and start-up process, factory-trained professionals from both Exyte Services and Airgard carried out a full system inspection including (but not limited to):
- leak tests
- pneumatic valve check and replacement
- couplings check and tightening
- set inlet water flow rate
- inlet pressure zeroing
- pump rotation check
- N2 purge
- scrubber mount check and seismic restraint verification
- water, N2, drain and power check
- control box wiring inspection
- inlet plunger assembly inspection and verification
- system power-on
- set N2 pressure and flow
- check all HMI parameters
- test low-level and high-level water switch
- check fault alarms
- inlet flow fault
- pump flow fault
- pump fail fault
- N2 flow fault
- city water flow fault
- test system standby
- run cycle gas
- tool on production mode and ongoing monitoring

Ultimately, this project presented a perfect opportunity to collaborate and share expertise among our sister and parent companies. Airgard would like to thank all the team members who were involved and made this effort a success!
