Pump Information for the Injection of ORC®, HRC® and HRC-X®

ORC, HRC and HRC-X are most easily applied to the subsurface through the use of direct-pressurized injection. The pressure injection process can be beneficial in the application and resulting distribution of the product within the subsurface matrix. The greater the distribution achieved upon initial injection of the material the greater the overall distribution of the resulting oxygen or hydrogen.

Pumps are available for purchase and rental from a wide range of vendors and contractors. Please visit our contractors page for more information on pump sources.

Pump Specifications for ORC:
Pressure rating: up to 2,000 psi
Delivery rate: up to 3.6 gpm

Pump Specifications for HRC and HRC-X:
Pressure rating: at least 1,500 psi
Delivery rate: up to 9 gpm

Featured Pump

Hydrogen Release Compound (HRC®) is a thick, viscous substance. One of the best methods of successfully injecting the product into the subsurface utilizes the HRC/ORC 9-1500 Rupe Pump, designed and manufactured by the R.E. Rupe Co. The patented R.E. Rupe Piston can pump 0 to 9 gallons/minute at pressures of 0 to 1600 PSI. The unit contains a 40 gallon mixing hopper, an 18 horsepower engine, and a 10 gallon hydraulic pump. The Rupe Pump can be used for both HRC and ORC installation. The following attributes make this pump especially useful for HRC injection:

  • High pressure positive displacement pump
  • Large-diameter outlet facilitates efficient pumping of high viscosity materials
  • Heater for thinning HRC in cold weather (optional)
  • Fully adjustable flow rate
  • Self-contained engine (no compressor necessary)
  • Remote operated control panel standard
  • Mixer to keep thick material flowable and prevent premature solidification

For further information regarding pricing, utility, and rental of the Rupe Pump, contact the R.E. Rupe Co.
