CIP Cleaning Services
Clean-In-Place systems for pharmaceutical, biotech, and food processing equipment. Automated chemical circulation with validated cleaning cycles ensures consistent, documented results without disassembly.
Cold Plate Cleaning
Precision cleaning for data center liquid cooling cold plates with 50–100μm microchannels. Particle-free flushing protocols protect sensitive GPU and CPU cooling systems from catastrophic blockage.
Heat Exchanger Cleaning
Restore thermal efficiency in plate, shell-and-tube, and brazed plate heat exchangers. Chemical descaling removes fouling while protecting metallurgy, followed by passivation to extend equipment life.
Process Piping Cleaning
Complete piping system cleaning including high-velocity flushing, chemical cleaning, and commissioning preparation. Remove construction debris, weld slag, and fabrication residues before startup.
NMP Cleaning (EV Battery)
Specialized N-Methyl-2-Pyrrolidone cleaning for EV battery manufacturing systems. Solvent-compatible procedures for electrode coating lines, recovery systems, and slurry distribution—serving clients like Toyota, Panasonic, and emerging gigafactories.
Degreasing Services
Pre-operational cleaning to remove manufacturing oils, machining lubricants, polishing compounds, and organic residues. Essential surface preparation for successful passivation—oils prevent chromium oxide formation.
Decontamination Services
Specialized decontamination for chemical process equipment, laboratory systems, and pharmaceutical facilities requiring hazardous material removal. Custom protocols for cross-contamination prevention, allergen removal, and regulatory compliance.
Why Industrial Cleaning Is Mission-Critical
Industrial systems accumulate contamination from fabrication, construction, operation, and environmental exposure. Without proper cleaning, contaminants degrade system performance, accelerate corrosion, promote microbial growth, and cause catastrophic failures.
Modern cleaning protocols are governed by rigorous standards including ASTM A380 for stainless steel cleaning, ASTM A967 for passivation, and ASME BPE for bioprocessing equipment. CXP follows all applicable standards with complete documentation.
Real Contamination Example
Common Industrial Contaminants
Fabrication Debris
Weld slag, grinding dust, metal shavings
Organic Contamination
Cutting oils, lubricants, machining fluids
Biological Growth
Biofilm, bacteria, fungi in water systems
Mineral Deposits
Scale, rust, calcium carbonate buildup
Process Residues
NMP, solvents, product carryover

The CXP Industrial Cleaning Process
A systematic, repeatable 9-step workflow ensuring verified cleanliness and complete documentation for every project.
System Assessment
Complete inspection of materials, contamination types, system configuration, and access points. Define acceptance criteria per ASTM A380.
Gross Leak Check
Pressure testing and inspection to identify leaks before introducing cleaning chemicals. Ensures system integrity and prevents chemical loss.
Chemical Cleaning
Circulated alkaline/acid cleaning with controlled temperature, concentration, and contact time. Chemistry selected for specific contamination types.
Neutralization
pH adjustment to neutralize cleaning chemicals before flushing. Protects system metallurgy and prepares for next phase.
High-Velocity Flushing
Turbulent flow at 5–10 ft/sec (Reynolds >4000) removes debris and chemical residues. Staged filtration from 100μm to 5μm. Learn more →
Neutralization
Post-passivation pH adjustment to neutralize acid solution. Critical for preventing continued etching and preparing for final rinse.
Final Rinse
High-purity DI water rinse to defined conductivity (<2 μS/cm) and pH (6.5–7.5) limits. Verification testing confirms surface cleanliness.
QA Sign-Off & System Acceptance
Complete documentation package, quality assurance review, client sign-off, and formal system acceptance. Audit-ready turnover package delivered.
