High-Performance Drilling with Hydrogen Direct Injection

In the drilling industry, diesel is often your single largest operating expense. HYDI’s Hydrogen Direct Injection (HDI) technology is a field-proven solution that helps drilling companies slash fuel costs, extend engine life, and meet the increasingly stringent ESG requirements of major mining clients.

Field Proven: 18% Fuel Reduction

Real-world applications with leaders like Titeline Drilling have shown that fitting a HYDI unit to a CAT 3406 mounted on a drilling rig can result in fuel usage reductions of up to 18%. This represents a rapid return on investment and a significant competitive advantage for contract tenders.

Engineering Benefits for Drilling Operations

  • Drastic DPM Reduction: Independent testing shows up to an 80% reduction in Diesel Particulate Matter (DPM). This creates a safer, cleaner working environment for rig crews, especially in confined or poorly ventilated sites.
  • Increased Torque & Efficiency: Hydrogen acts as a combustion catalyst, ensuring a more complete burn of the diesel fuel. This provides more consistent power for high-load drilling tasks.
  • Minimal Maintenance: The system only requires demineralised water and a simple service every six months. It is chemical-free and contains no high-pressure storage tanks, making it safe for remote deployment.
  • Rugged & Reliable: Encased in a fully-welded 316 stainless steel housing, HYDI units are built to withstand the vibration, dust, and extreme temperatures common in exploration drilling.

Versatile Integration

Our units are designed for easy retrofit onto a wide range of drilling assets, including:

  • Diamond Drilling Rigs
  • Reverse Circulation (RC) Rigs
  • Borehole & Blast Hole Drills

The HYDI Unit

The HYDI unit is a sophisticated but simple to use Hydrogen on demand system. It uses distilled water
and low voltage electricity from the electrical system of the vehicle or plant to produce Hydrogen.

The HYDI unit does not store Hydrogen and employs a number of safety features to prevent Hydrogen
being generated if the engine is not running.

There are no chemicals or additives used in the HYDI unit.

Just pure water.

The HYDI unit uses Bluetooth Applications to display the status on the operation of the unit on
an Android phone or tablet in real time.

Benefits

The HYDI Hydrogen on demand system supplies hydrogen gas to the engine
intake to supplement diesel fuel. The controlled addition of hydrogen into
the engine improves combustion efficiency.

This has the effect of reducing fuel consumption and to reducing carbon and
greenhouse gas exhaust emissions.
