AdBlue®... what is it?
AdBlue® is an ultra pure solution of urea in demineralised water, used in the latest generation of commercial diesel vehicles for the removal of Nitrous Oxide (NOx), an environmental pollutant.
Euro 4 emission regulations introduced from October 2006 further limited the amounts of Nitrous Oxides (NOx) and particulates that commercial diesel vehicles could emit. These limits will reduce again with the introduction of Euro 5 in October 2009 and again in the future.
To reach these standards, the majority of truck manufacturers have chosen the Selective Catalytic Reduction (SCR) system as a common solution. The fuel for the SCR system is called AdBlue®.
The good news for vehicle operators is that by using the SCR system the engine can be tuned for maximum fuel economy, extracting every last drop of energy from the fuel...giving a fuel saving that should be more than enough to cover the cost of the AdBlue.
To protect vehicle operators from expensive catalyst replacement costs which can be caused by contamination, the vehicle manufacturers specify that only Urea solution produced to DIN70070 should be used in the vehicle.
Urea... what is it?
Urea is an inorganic compound that occurs naturally in the human body, as such it is harmless. However, for commercial use including AdBlue® production, Urea is produced synthetically from Ammonia and Carbon Dioxide. Its main use is in fertilizers and chemical manufacture, but it is also found in everyday products such as hair conditioners, skin creams, food and adhesives.
