What CleanAir Solutions Inc does

CleanAir Solutions, Inc. (CAS) is a privately held, founder-owned Northern California cleanroom design-build and products company founded in 1998 by Kathie Kalafatis. The firm supplies modular hardwall and softwall cleanroom enclosures — most prominently the patent-pending MC² Cleanroom System with Active Channel Technology (ACT) — along with a broad component catalog including Fan Powered HEPA filters, terminal end diffusers, HEPAir HVAC units, laminar flow hoods and isolators, air showers, ESD curtain systems, cleanroom doors, lighting, raised floors, wall systems, particle counters, HEPA vacuums, transport carts, VoIP cleanroom telephones, and storage cabinets. These are supported by integrated digital monitoring (AirLink FFU control with BACnet/webserver integration, plus CIMScan monitoring software via the CIMTechniques partnership) and a recurring services layer covering consulting, turnkey installation, certification testing against Federal Standard 209E / ISO 14644-1 / IES-RP-cc006.2, and a Cleanroom Validation Program for micro-cleaning. Pricing is quote-based with no public list; the model combines capital-equipment sales (MC² and modular cleanroom projects), unit-priced component sales, and recurring professional services revenue from certification and validation.
