Pressure where the incident asks for it

AutoBoost

AutoBoost does a very useful thing in serious incidents: it puts pressure back where distance has taken it away. Developed to extend Hytrans supply lines without requiring additional HydroSub units, it can also connect directly to existing hydrant networks to strengthen direct firefighting capability.

Product summary

What AutoBoost contributes to the system.

Hytrans describes four AutoBoost models with automated control and outlet pressure management. Depending on configuration, the range can achieve flows up to 45,000 lpm at 12 bar.

For Mauritius, AutoBoost is particularly relevant for ports, airports, industrial estates and larger municipal layouts where the water source exists but the pressure performance at the point of attack does not.

What it solves

Operational problems, answered directly.

  • Pressure loss over long relay distances.
  • Underperforming hydrant networks during peak incident demand.
  • Need for additional pumping support without fully rebuilding the line.

Why it matters operationally

Because predictability is cheaper than improvisation.

Long-distance water transport is only persuasive if the pressure arriving at the business end is still useful. AutoBoost protects that usefulness.

In incident economics, pressure is often the difference between active control and expensive delay. AutoBoost gives planners a way to stretch supply lines, support monitors and preserve flow credibility.

Typical use cases in Mauritius and the region

Where AutoBoost earns its keep.

  • Industrial firefighting across large footprints
  • Airport and port fireground pressure support
  • Long municipal relay lines where friction loss becomes significant
  • Emergency cooling setups requiring reliable discharge pressure
  • Back-up supply where existing networks need reinforcement

System role

How it fits the wider deployment architecture.

Mid-line pressure amplifier: AutoBoost sits inside the broader relay architecture, protecting outlet performance and extending operational reach without duplicating the entire pumping chain.
