The output of this process includes untreated water that will continue to be cleaned and purified (before being released and reused), and biosolids with drastically reduced liquid content, volume and mass. The reduced mass and volume of the biosolid end-product makes it far easier to store or transport, being both lighter and with a far smaller footprint.

As such, these facilities must contend with a wider spectrum of lab air quality requirements, including increased air supply, dynamic airflow patterns, room pressurization, and high-efficiency air filtration versus that of traditional labs and clean rooms. *Here we'll cover 5 fundamental lab air quality considerations that should be factored into every advanced manufacturing clean room or research lab design.* [Read More](https://blog.cpsgrp.com/fabtechinc/air-quality-in-multi-use-clean-room-and-research-lab-design) Topics: [lab design](https://blog.cpsgrp.com/fabtechinc/topic/lab-design), [research lab](https://blog.cpsgrp.com/fabtechinc/topic/research-lab), [lab air](https://blog.cpsgrp.com/fabtechinc/topic/lab-air) [All posts](https://blog.cpsgrp.com/fabtechinc/all) [Next](https://blog.cpsgrp.com/fabtechinc/author/mike-baranski/page/2) [![Request A Discovery Call](https://no-cache.hubspot.com/cta/default/2835452/5c45c1bd-996f-43b1-ad73-773f92bac725.png)](https://cta-redirect.hubspot.com/cta/redirect/2835452/5c45c1bd-996f-43b1-ad73-773f92bac725) [![New call-to-action](https://no-cache.hubspot.com/cta/default/2835452/c75afcc6-2141-4c77-8090-7ea8b7ff51a7.png)](https://cta-redirect.hubspot.com/cta/redirect/2835452/c75afcc6-2141-4c77-8090-7ea8b7ff51a7) [![Get Our Vent Pipe Cost Savings Case Study](https://no-cache.hubspot.com/cta/default/2835452/bdc356a6-3564-45cc-a323-8678193dd623.png)](https://cta-redirect.hubspot.com/cta/redirect/2835452/bdc356a6-3564-45cc-a323-8678193dd623) ## Don't Lose Your Competitive Advantage ## Follow Our Blog To Keep Pace With The Latest... -
