AdBlue

SCR stands for Selective Catalytic Reduction. It is an emission control technology used in diesel engines to reduce nitrogen oxide (NOx) emissions. The SCR system works by injecting a urea-based solution (AdBlue) into the exhaust, where it reacts with NOx over a catalyst to convert it into harmless nitrogen and water vapour. This helps diesel engines comply with strict emissions regulations.

From day one of production in Geleen, we can offer lower carbon versions of AdBlue, based on mass balance approach under ISCC Plus.

AdBlue requires some basic precautions to ensure effectiveness and safety:

• Storage

When stored properly, AdBlue has a minimum shelf life of 1 year, but it must be kept in a sealed container away from contaminants and extreme temperatures. It should be stored away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures.

• Refill

When refilling a vehicle’s AdBlue tank, avoid spillage and ensure that the AdBlue is poured into the correct tank. Spilled AdBlue should be wiped up immediately with water.

• Use

Use only AdBlue recommended by the vehicle manufacturer. Do not dilute or mix AdBlue with other substances as this can affect its effectiveness and damage the SCR system.

• Avoiding contamination

Avoid contamination of AdBlue with substances such as diesel, oil or water, as this can damage the SCR system and lead to increased emissions.

• Monitoring

Monitor the AdBlue level in the vehicle and replenish AdBlue as necessary to ensure continuous operation of the SCR system.

By following these guidelines, you can use AdBlue effectively and ensure that the system functions properly in reducing diesel engine emissions.
