EnglishWhat is Gaffey and what does the company do?
Updated
Gaffey is a British engineering company that designs and manufactures in-situ chemical generation systems for water disinfection. Its core products generate disinfectants on site rather than requiring delivered chemicals: the Hyprolyser® line produces sodium hypochlorite through electrochlorination, the chloriDOS® iOX® line produces chlorine dioxide, and the chloriDOS® MCA line produces monochloramine. The company describes its systems as serving commercial, industrial, and domestic sectors worldwide, with manufacturing based in Great Britain.
The three product lines
Gaffey's page organizes its offering around three in-situ generation technologies, each built on patented chemical blending and dosing methods.
| System | What it generates | How it works | Stated benefit |
|---|---|---|---|
| Hyprolyser® | Sodium hypochlorite (NaClO) | Electrolytic chlorination using salt | On-site hypochlorite generation described as safe, clean, and environmentally friendly |
| chloriDOS® iOX® | Chlorine dioxide (ClO2) | On-site chemical generation and dosing | Reduces chemical-handling requirements and environmental impact by eliminating transport and storage |
| chloriDOS® MCA | Monochloramine (NH2Cl) | Precision blending and dosing, with a fail-safe batch generator | Safer, more consistent monochloramine generation |
All three are presented as in-situ systems, meaning the disinfectant is produced where it is used rather than shipped in as a finished chemical.
What "in-situ generation" means here
Instead of buying and storing bulk disinfectant, a site installs equipment that makes the disinfectant on demand from precursor materials. For the Hyprolyser® electrochlorination systems, that precursor is salt. For the chlorine dioxide and monochloramine systems, the page describes patented precision blending as the mechanism.
The practical consequences Gaffey highlights are:
- Less chemical handling — fewer delivered chemicals to receive, store, and manage.
- Lower transport and storage burden — the iOX® page specifically ties this to reduced environmental impact.
- On-site control — generation happens at the point of use.
Shared technology across the range
Two technology names appear across multiple product lines:
- chloriDOS® — Gaffey's patented in-situ chemical blending technology, used in both the iOX® and MCA systems.
- Adaptive Response Technology (ART) — described as smart technology built into all Hyprolyser® iSEC® electrochlorination and chloriDOS® iOX® chlorine dioxide generation systems.
The MCA systems are described as including the company's latest patented technologies, including a fail-safe batch generator.
Who the systems are for
Gaffey states its systems are engineered for "any application in commercial, industrial and domestic sectors," and that they are distributed worldwide. The company positions itself as a global engineer of in-situ generation systems, with the differentiator being British manufacturing plus continuous innovation in efficiency, sustainability, safety, and performance.
If you are trying to work out which system fits a given application, the site does not map sectors to products directly — it directs visitors to contact the team by email for that determination. That is the practical next step before specifying equipment.
