Hyprolyser ® iSEC ® range, are compact and modular, engineered to integrate directly into building management and control systems rather than sit apart from them.
Patented vacuum blending technology maintains a precisely controlled rate of flow, producing consistent chlorine concentration without manual intervention. An IoT platform built into the system extends that control further: engineers can access full diagnostics and carry out remote maintenance, service partners can manage equipment and generate compliance reports, and operators can monitor disinfection performance and system status in real time, from any connected device. Because the solution is generated continuously and used almost immediately, there is no degradation. Dosing is repeatable, and performance is verifiable.
Simplifying the plant footprint
Removing bulk chemical storage from the plantroom has a direct, measurable effect on design. Storage footprint, secondary containment, ventilation requirements and delivery access all fall away. Pipework configurations simplify, and the number of potential failure and compliance points reduces accordingly, outcomes that matter to any engineer managing constrained plant space. In retrofit projects, where every square metre is contested, that reduction can be decisive. In new-build specification, designing electrochlorination in from the outset removes an infrastructure burden before it exists, rather than engineering around it later.
removes the associated transport emissions and the embedded carbon cost of manufacturing, packaging and distributing concentrated hypochlorite. Chemical waste from degraded or unused stored solution, a persistent issue with bulk dosing, is eliminated entirely. For projects targeting BREEAM, NABERS or net-zero operational benchmarks, these are quantifiable inputs that sit squarely within the scope of water management strategy.
Specify early, benefit longer
Electrochlorination systems are not difficult to retrofit, but the greatest returns come from decisions made at specification stage: plantroom layout, electrical supply and system integration all deliver better long-term outcomes when planned upfront rather than engineered in later.
Modern systems are available off-the-shelf with short lead times and straightforward commissioning once on site, lowering the practical barriers considerably. Water disinfection infrastructure shapes a building’ s performance in ways that rarely feature in early design and automation planning.
As control systems, IoT platforms and remote monitoring become standard expectations across the built environment, on-site generation is no longer a niche alternative. It is a proven, connected technology that belongs in the specification conversation for any project built for long-term performance.
Reducing risk at source
Minimising stored chemical volume in occupied buildings is a safety and liability question as much as an operational one. Concentrated hypochlorite requires careful handling, and the risks associated with storage failure, mishandling or accidental exposure are not trivial. On-site generation reduces the volume of hazardous material held at any given time, limits the number of personnel required to handle it, and removes dependency on external supply chains, chains that recent years have repeatedly shown are not immune to disruption. For engineering and facilities teams accountable for compliance signoff, that reduction in stored risk simplifies the case considerably.
