Built for Holly Springs Biotech, Pharma & Advanced Manufacturing

Holly Springs has rapidly become a core node in the RTP life science cluster, with large-scale biologics, vaccine, and advanced therapy facilities operating under strict GMP expectations. Those facilities rely on high-purity stainless steel systems—WFI, purified water, clean steam, CIP, and process vessels—that must stay within tight specification to avoid production risk and regulatory findings.

CXP mobilizes from our central hub in Sanford to provide fast-response passivation, cleaning, and flushing services specifically tuned to:

Greenfield biotech builds ramping to PQ and commercial production
Brownfield expansions, line conversions, and utility upgrades
Corrective derouging and emergency contamination response
From Sanford Hub to Holly Springs in a Single Mobilization
Our mobile CIP/passivation skids, chemical dosing systems, and documentation packages are designed to move quickly from Sanford into Holly Springs, Apex, Fuquay-Varina, Cary, and the broader RTP area—keeping your outage windows as short as possible.

Typical Holly Springs Facility Types

Example facility profiles CXP is designed to support in the Holly Springs / RTP corridor:

🏭
Large-Scale Biologics & API
High-volume stainless and single-use support systems, CIP-heavy operations, WFI/PW with strict particle and TOC limits.
💉
Fill-Finish & Aseptic Operations
Vial/syringe lines, critical utilities, and hygienic piping where rouge or contamination cannot be tolerated.
🧬
Advanced Therapies & CDMOs
Flexible multiproduct suites with frequent changeovers that demand repeatable, documented cleaning and passivation.

CXP is an independent service provider supporting the broader Holly Springs/RTP life science ecosystem.

Holly Springs Service Portfolio

Passivation, Cleaning & Flushing Services We Provide in Holly Springs

From greenfield turnover to corrective derouging, CXP delivers full-lifecycle stainless steel care for Holly Springs facilities—plus the documentation your Quality team expects.

🧪

Citric Acid Passivation

ASTM A967-compliant citric formulations for WFI, PW, clean steam, CIP, and process piping. Full-system circulation or targeted hand passivation.

Typical scope: new installs, weld repairs, system requalification.
🧼

Alkaline CIP Cleaning

High-temperature alkaline pre-operational cleaning (POC) to remove fabrication oils, organic load, and construction debris, setting up a clean base for passivation.

Supports: new builds, expansions, change control projects.
💧

High-Velocity Flushing

Pre-commissioning flushing for carbon steel and stainless utility loops to remove weld slag, scale, and construction fines prior to tie-in.

Helps you hit particle acceptance criteria on first attempt.
🧲

Rouge Removal & Derouging

EDTA-enhanced citric blends and derouging services to correct iron oxide contamination in WFI, PW, and clean steam systems.

Includes re-passivation and verification testing.

Typical Systems We Clean & Passivate in Holly Springs

Whether you're starting up a new cell culture suite or expanding vaccine manufacturing, CXP builds a project-specific cleaning + passivation + flushing plan around your piping isometrics, P&IDs, and validation requirements.

WFI & PW Loops
Distribution loops, storage tanks, heat exchangers, and POU assemblies
Bioreactors & Vessels
Upstream/downstream vessels, buffer/media prep tanks, hold tanks
CIP/COP Systems
CIP skids, spray devices, return headers, and chemical distribution
Clean Steam & Utilities
Steam generators, condensate lines, gas distribution, and critical utilities
Process Piping
Product transfer lines, manifolds, small-bore instrumentation tubing
Support Systems
Heat exchangers, cold plates, jackets, and auxiliary circuits
High purity stainless steel process systems in Holly Springs facility
Local Detail, National-Grade Procedure
Every Holly Springs project follows the same core methodology we use nationwide, with local adjustments for facility-specific water quality, utility layouts, and shutdown windows.
GMP Methodology

How a Holly Springs Passivation & Flushing Project Runs

A six-phase process that starts at our Sanford hub and ends with FDA-ready documentation on your desk. Detailed protocols available in our ASTM A967 Passivation Guide.

1

Scope Review & Turnover Planning

We start with P&IDs, isometrics, URS, and existing SOPs to define a Holly Springs-specific cleaning and passivation plan. We coordinate around your SAT/FAT, commissioning, and validation schedule so chemical work doesn't become the critical path.

Output: draft protocol, equipment list, chemical matrix, hold points, and sampling locations.
2

Mobilization from Sanford Hub

Our mobile CIP/passivation skid, pumps, hose sets, test equipment, and chemicals are staged in Sanford and mobilized into Holly Springs with pre-labeled connection points and routing plans to minimize on-site chaos and downtime.

We coordinate with your EHS and site security so deliveries, totes, and hoses comply with local procedures.
3

Alkaline Cleaning & High-Velocity Flushing

We run high-temperature alkaline cleaning to remove fabrication residues, then flush until particle counts, turbidity, and visual inspections meet acceptance. For black utilities, we use heat exchanger and cold plate cleaning techniques where needed.

Acceptance criteria: defined turbidity/particle limits, clean strainers, and visually clean discharge.
4

Citric Acid Passivation & Derouging

We apply citric acid passivation chemistry per ASTM A967, adjusting concentration, temperature, and contact time based on material finish, weld density, and pre-existing rouge. For localized issues, we combine with hand passivation at welds and dead legs.

Chemistry selection and dilution are calculated with our chemical dilution calculator.
5

Neutralization, Final Rinse & Verification Testing

We neutralize discharge, then rinse with WFI/RO/DI until pH, conductivity, and appearance are within spec. Verification includes water break tests, copper sulfate, ferroxyl, and visual inspection per ASTM A380.

Acceptance: uniform matte finish, pH 6.5–7.5, conductivity trending to source water, no visible staining or rouge.
6

Turnover Package & Quality Review

You receive a complete documentation package aligned with your Quality expectations: executed protocol, logs, test results, calibration certificates, chemical lot traceability, and before/after photos.

Optional: integration into IQ/OQ documentation or site-specific validation binders via pharma passivation programs.
