ON THE ROAD SUPPLY diesel exhaust fluid Tirunelveli adblue

 Retail pumps supply Addblue Def by the litre, at a growing number of locations throughout Europe. Indeed, following a period of investment by the oil industry, some truck stops have installed AdBlue® pumps on all diesel islands and it is now possible to refill with AdBlue® while refuelling with diesel. 

 In india the implementation of BS VI norms standard are expected to enforced from April 2020. Although the OEMS & vehicle manufactures have already started including SCR systems with Addblue Def in the automotive productions to meet the BS VI norm regulatory requirements. Presently the AdBlue ® products are distributed through distributors on retail outlets and petrol bunk outlets in Drums & buckets. After full implementation, we shall expect the product to be available on dispensing services pumps at petrol bunks & retails outlets. 

Intermediate Bulk Containers (IBCs) are a standardised method of storing and transporting liquids used in the chemical industry. IBCs hold 1000L of AdBlue® and are competitively priced in comparison to on-the-road supply methods. Also, IBCs do not require permanent installation, and are currently one of the most popular options for the haulage industry.

A mini-bulk system is a fixed installation at a haulier's home depot. Typically mini bulk systems have a capacity between 4000-7000L and require regular refilling by an AdBlue® producer. Due to the quantity of AdBlue® purchased, cost/litre is low compared to other methods. However, the equipment is expensive and requires installation and maintenance.

It is essential that the purity of Addblue Def is ensured throughout the supply chain and when stored at a home depot. Therefore, it is critical that Addblue Def  is transported and stored in a manner that conforms to the CEFIC guidelines. When stored at a home depot, it is important that the Addblue Def  is not decanted from IBCs or bulk containers into smaller canisters as SCR catalysts are sensitive to many contaminants - especially mineral ions - and can suffer irreversible damage. If the damage has resulted from mishandling of Addblue Def , the vehicle's warranty is likely to be found invalid.

To some extent Addblue Def  is sensitive to extreme temperatures, both hot and cold. The solution will freeze if its temperature falls below -11°C, and the urea content can decrease if stored at temperatures in excess of 30°C. However, Addblue Def  is not harmed by the freezing process and once thawed will retain its concentration and quality. In areas where the temperature is frequently in excess of 30°C (Greece, Spain etc.) it is necessary to ensure that the solution is not stored in direct sunlight.

 Addblue Def is a high specification solution and is manufactured to the DIN 70070 and ISO 22241 standards.
