Cleanroom Humidification Systems
Precise Humidity Control for Manufacturing & Research Cleanrooms
MeeFog offers advanced central humidification systems designed to maintain optimal environmental conditions for manufacturing and research cleanrooms. By providing precise control over humidity levels, our systems prevent electrostatic discharge (ESD), which is critical for sensitive electronics and semiconductor production.
In addition to superior performance, MeeFog’s cleanroom humidifiers are energy-efficient. Plus, the systems operate without natural gas, lowering energy consumption and operational costs significantly.
MeeFog’s cleanroom foggers use precise nozzles to distribute ultra-fine droplets throughout the cleanroom, providing uniform humidity without creating wet zones or fluctuating levels. This innovative solution also delivers a rapid return on investment with minimal maintenance.
Microchip & Semiconductor
To preserve the integrity of the cleanroom envelope, positive pressure must be maintained at all times. Achieving this requires a large amount of outside air to offset exhaust and room leakage.
The airflow must be tightly controlled to maintain the desired cleanroom humidity and temperature, without increasing costs. Our fogging systems offer precise cleanroom humidity control, preventing electrostatic shock while minimizing energy consumption, which leads to significant cost savings.
Benefits:
- Reduces electrostatic shock.
- Low energy consumption.
- Precise humidity level control.
- Ultra-fine droplets evaporate with no wetting.
Aerospace & Auto Paint Booths
Paint booths in the aerospace and automobile industry need precise humidity control. A single central humidification system from MeeFog can maintain the desired humidity levels at a fraction of the cost of traditional steam humidifiers.
Our cleanroom humidifier system can pay for itself in a few years. Additionally, proper humidity control helps you prevent costly defects from premature drying, static, and dust control problems, which are critical for many spraying and bonding processes.
Benefits:
- Maintain moisture content while curing.
- Reduce dust and static control problems.
- Enable product repeatability.
- Lessen downtime.
Pharmaceutical
In pharmaceutical manufacturing, especially within cleanrooms, maintaining precise humidity is non-negotiable. MeeFog’s central humidification system integrates seamlessly into the building’s management system, providing optimal cleanroom humidity at all times.
With low maintenance and energy costs, this cleanroom humidifier system offers an excellent return on investment (typically within two years from installation), improving energy efficiency and lowering overall maintenance costs.
Features:
- Evenly distributed humidification.
- Increased reliability.
- Reduced energy costs.
- Improved product quality.
- Does not require compressed air or steam.

Reverse Osmosis Water Purification
Reverse Osmosis Water Purification
City water is treated using the Reverse Osmosis water treatment rack. This purifies the water, removing minerals, particulate, and microorganisms. Systems include automated membrane flushing, pre-treatment filtration, and UV Re-Circulation.
MeeFog Pump
MeeFog Pump
The high-pressure pump maintains 1000 psi water pressure in order to atomize the water into tiny droplets that can evaporate into the air stream. The pump rack has a VFD with panel-mounted controller that maintains pressure when staging valves open and close.
Staging Valves
Staging Valves
The valve panel allows precise control over how much humidification is injected into the air stream based on a signal from the BMS. It is possible to control the humidification level in the space to plus or minus 1% RH.
Nozzle Manifolds
Nozzle Manifolds
Fog nozzles are mounted on stainless steel tubing inside the air handler. These nozzles produce droplets in the 10-micron range. These precision nozzles are manufactured and tested in Mee Industries' own facility.
Mist Eliminator
Mist Eliminator
The mist eliminator removes water droplets larger than 5 microns. The filter pads can come off their stainless steel frames and can be washed or replaced easily.
System Overview
Nozzle Comparison
At an operating pressure of 2000 psi, the resulting average droplet size is roughly one-tenth the diameter of a single strand of human hair.
MeeFog System Benefits
- Minimizes the risk of airborne infections.
- Decreases the occurrence of respiratory issues in newborns.
- Low energy consumption.
- Precise humidity level control.
- Elevates patient and staff overall comfort and virus protection.
- Lowers employee absence rate.
- Reduces premature drying and formation of scabs from coagulated blood.
- Preventing electrostatic damage to medical equipment.
Droplet Comparison
Small droplets have a larger surface-to-volume ratio compared to larger droplets. This allows them to evaporate much faster than larger droplets.

Cleanroom Humidifiers FAQs
In electronics manufacturing, controlling cleanroom humidity is critical to prevent electrostatic discharge (ESD) that can damage sensitive components. Maintaining stable humidity levels helps follow ISO cleanroom standards, prevents contamination, and protects product quality.
Our cleanroom humidifier systems offer precise and reliable humidity control, keeping temperature and humidity settings within a tight range of ±1% RH.
Traditional gas-fired steam systems often consume excessive energy and struggle to maintain even cleanroom humidity. In contrast, our central humidification system uses no natural gas, providing consistent humidity levels throughout the facility.
For instance, at Danfoss Power Electronics in Illinois, one MeeFog cleanroom humidifier replaced an inefficient gas-fired system, eliminating humidity fluctuations while dramatically reducing energy use.
Our cleanroom humidity control systems offer significant energy savings compared to their traditional gas-fired counterparts. For instance, at Danfoss Power Electronics, annual humidification costs dropped from $8,000 in gas and electricity to just $750 in electricity. That’s more than a 90% reduction in energy costs, while maintaining superior performance.
MeeFog’s cleanroom fogger uses overhead fogging nozzles connected to a central high-pressure pump, operating at around 1,000 psi. This system creates ultra-fine, evenly distributed droplets that evaporate quickly, providing uniform cleanroom humidity control across the facility. By avoiding localized steam injection, it prevents humidity hotspots or dry zones and maintains consistent humidity levels.
Switching to our central humidification system typically leads to a faster ROI due to reduced energy consumption and lower maintenance costs. Facilities like Danfoss Power Electronics saw payback in less than two years, with a tenfold reduction in energy use. Beyond financial savings, our cleanroom humidifiers also improve reliability, reduce operational risks, and eliminate the need for gas-fired boilers.
Yes, our systems are perfect for pharmaceutical and biotech cleanrooms where precise humidity control is a must. We offer an energy-efficient, reliable humidification solution that meets industry requirements for sustainability and environmental control, without the need for steam boilers. Our systems meet strict standards for cleanroom humidity in these critical sectors.
Featured Case Study
Army Research Laboratory Uses CHP and MeeFog Humidification to Cut Energy and O&M Costs
The Challenge:
The Army Research Laboratory in Adelphi, Maryland, had been using a boiler to provide hot water and steam humidification to two cleanrooms. It recently installed a combined heat and power system in its central utility plant, but the hot water generated was not hot enough to maintain the required cleanroom humidity levels.
The Solution:
A MeeFog cleanroom humidity control system was installed to provide humidification to both cleanrooms, at a much lower cost and with less maintenance than the boiler.
