HYPRO (HYdram Powered Reverse Osmosis) is a low-cost low-carbon Reverse Osmosis (RO) unit. HYPRO supplies greywater and potable water by harvesting the energy of a flowing water source to filter that water source.
Climate-Related Hazards Addressed:
- Droughts
- Heatwaves
- Contamination (alleviating water scarcity)
Specific Problems Solved:
- High-cost water filtration and purification: HYPRO uses zero-carbon Hydrams and renewable energy to offer a cost-effective alternative to energy-intensive reverse osmosis.
- Remote water capture: HYPRO operates off-grid with Hydrams, reducing infrastructure costs and enabling use in remote areas.
- Water contamination: HYPRO's scalable, distributed capacity targets pollution at the source, improving the quality of natural water bodies, particularly against agricultural runoff.

HYPRO offers the ability to reuse and recycle water in a distrusted, low-cost and low infrastructure way enabling business and industry to reduce their Enviromental impact.
Case Study #8 – Torbay and Devon County, South West England/UK – HYPRO enables major stakeholders, communities and individuals to treat their rainwater and surface water in a sustainable zero carbon way. Enabling better planning and management of green/blue spaces while reducing water consumption.
HYPRO enables users to clean water and pump it for to storage from multiple surface sources (rain, seawater etc.). It relies only on the energy within the water (river drop and waves). It can turn any flowing water into a clean water source.
The innovation has been developed independently by HydroHammer Ltd. over several years. The company has received support in the form of grants and other assistance from Innovate UK, Imperial College London, The Greenhouse (Climate Innovation Accelerator), and the James Dyson Award. The company developed its low-cost Hydrams as part of an R&D project funded by Innovate UK’s Fast Start grant.
HYPRO operates using the energy of flowing water. The capacity of the system can be determined by the flow rate and the head height of the water body being used for power. At minimum HYPRO must have water flow with at least 0.5m of fall for the Hydram to operate effectively. The smart controller removes the need for the water flow to be continuous and allows the system to be controlled remotely.

The main components of the system have been tested separately, and an initial integration exercise has been conducted.
