Sterility: Built for Cleanability, Contamination Control, and Process Integrity

Sterile and hygienic design matters in more than just pharmaceutical cleanrooms. Exergy builds heat exchangers and point-of-use solutions for industries where contamination control and surface cleanability directly impact product quality. From biotech and food to semiconductors, data centers, and specialty chemicals [link to industries], our equipment is engineered to perform reliably in regulated, high-purity environments.

We design solutions with electropolished surfaces and sanitary connections to reduce microbial risk and improve clean-in-place (CIP) performance. Whether your concern is cross-contamination, batch integrity, or solution validation, Exergy helps maintain a cleaner process from the inside out.

Hygienic by Design

We apply best practices from ASME BPE and ISO cleanroom standards across our life science solutions to eliminate contamination risks at the source.

• Internal flow paths are designed to minimize hold-up and support effective CIP and SIP performance when installed with proper slope and drainage.
• Optional electropolishing improves surface finish (Ra) to reduce microbial growth and limit biofilm adhesion on process contact surfaces.
• Optional SilcoTek® CVD coatings provide USP Class VI hydrophobic surfaces that are FDA-compliant and improve cleanability in demanding fluid applications.
• Zero-deadleg configurations prevent fluid retention and microbial growth.
• Every unit is fabricated to withstand repeated steam-in-place (SIP) and clean-in-place (CIP) cycles.
• Double-tube-sheet construction provides physical separation between product and utility fluids, reducing the risk of cross-contamination in high-purity applications.

Designed for CIP/SIP Compatibility

• All product contact surfaces are constructed from materials compatible with high-temperature steam and industry-approved cleaning agents.
• Flow paths are designed to promote even coverage and minimize areas of hold-up that could interfere with cleaning.
• Solutions can be configured with access ports to support cleaning validation and inspection.
• Surface finish and internal geometry are engineered to support repeatable, documented cleaning cycles without the need for disassembly.

Sterility Without Complexity

• Point-of-use solutions eliminate manual cleaning steps between dispensing.
• Built-in features reduce reliance on external components or field modification.
• Equipment is supplied with documentation to support cleaning validation and GMP audit readiness.
