CPC cleaning technology
Advanced continuous particle control cleaning for commissioning-ready water systems.
Hydrosphere CPC cleaning technology explained
Hydrosphere CPC (Continuous Particle Control) continuously removes suspended solids from closed water systems during circulation. High-efficiency filtration captures contamination that conventional flushing can leave behind, while real-time particle monitoring provides measurable verification of cleanliness throughout the cleaning process.
Superior debris removal
Captures fine particles and contaminants that standard flushing leaves behind
Reduced commissioning time
Pre-cleaned systems commission faster with fewer delays and rework
Real-time cleanliness verification
Continuous particle monitoring provides measurable evidence of cleaning performance throughout the process.
Enhanced system reliability
Cleaner systems operate more efficiently and experience fewer blockages and failures
Where CPC cleaning delivers the greatest value
CPC cleaning is particularly effective where system cleanliness, commissioning certainty and ongoing equipment protection are critical to project success.
Data centre cooling systems
Removes particulate contamination from chilled water loops before critical equipment commissioning
Healthcare facility systems
Ensures water quality standards for infection control and equipment protection in sensitive environments
Large commercial & residential developments
Accelerates commissioning programmes by removing construction debris before system handover.
High-integrity closed systems
Protects sensitive components and maintains system cleanliness throughout operational life
Complex hydraulic systems
Ideal for multi-branch pipework systems where achieving consistent cleanliness can be challenging.
District heating networks
Maintains water quality across large-scale distribution systems before handover to operators
Assess the system before cleaning begins
Every CPC project starts with a technical review of the system. We assess water quality, contamination levels, system volume and pipework configuration to determine the most effective cleaning strategy.
Remove contamination during circulation
Hydrosphere CPC units are connected to the system and operate continuously during circulation. High-efficiency filtration progressively removes suspended solids, welding debris, magnetite and construction contaminants.
Track cleanliness throughout the process
Inline particle counting provides measurable evidence of cleanliness improvements throughout the cleaning programme. Results are logged and reviewed to verify progress before commissioning
Real-Time Monitoring & Verification
Final particle counts and supporting documentation confirm that system cleanliness targets have been achieved. Handover records provide evidence for commissioning teams, consultants and clients.

FAQs
Technical questions about CPC cleaning performance and system compatibility
CPC (Continuous Particle Control) is a cleaning process that continuously circulates system water through high-efficiency filtration equipment to remove suspended solids, welding debris, magnetite and construction contaminants. Unlike conventional flushing, CPC maintains ongoing particle removal throughout the cleaning programme.
Traditional flushing relies on high flow rates to move debris through a system. CPC combines circulation with continuous filtration, progressively removing contaminants from the water as they are mobilised. This provides greater control over cleanliness levels and often achieves cleaner results.
CPC is suitable for most closed-loop systems, including chilled water, heating water, low-temperature hot water, condenser water and district energy networks. Each system is assessed before deployment to confirm compatibility and cleaning requirements.
Cleanliness is monitored through particle counting, water quality testing and ongoing inspection throughout the cleaning process. Final verification provides measurable evidence that contamination levels have been reduced and cleanliness objectives achieved.
Yes. By continuously removing contamination and providing documented cleanliness verification, CPC can help reduce delays associated with failed testing, blocked strainers, poor water quality and repeat flushing activities before commissioning.
Project duration depends on system size, contamination levels and cleanliness objectives. Many systems can be cleaned within a few days, while larger or heavily contaminated installations may require extended filtration periods to achieve target results.
