The Australian Government has recently introduced strict guidelines to control emissions from diesel engines, and AdBlue has become a widely acknowledged tool to assist in this process. But, do you manage it correctly?
AdBlue is a pure urea based solution which when injected into the exhaust system on SCR equipped diesel engines significantly reduces the NOx emissions produced by the equipment. Already, AdBlue is required for the efficient operation of engines meeting Euro IV, Euro V, and the upcoming Euro VI spec.
Generally, the purchase and use of AdBlue is managed by a fleet or maintenance manager, or the owner-driver himself, who manually tracks stock levels and places an order when supplies run low. But according to AdBlue expert Ausblue, a fully managed AdBlue solution can offer significant advantages over the manual routine. It may involve the installation of bulk tanks on-site, available in 2000L and 5000L sizes, and the installation of a pumping system. Such a system enables easy dispensing the liquid directly by drivers or maintenance personnel on site.
“An electronic control system automatically measures the amount of AdBlue remaining in the bulk tanks and notifies the supplier that levels are running low. The supplier then automatically makes delivery to your site to ensure you always have AdBlue when you require it,” according to Ausblue.
“In this way, a fully managed AdBlue solution ensures you always have the amount of AdBlue you require on-site and available, without having to invest a substantial amount of time managing the process. This frees up your time to focus on other aspects of your business.”
Ausblue is one of the leading Australian providers of fully managed AdBlue solutions. The company is an ISO 9001 certified producer and distributor of the solution and complimentary products for the Australian market. With offices and stock Australia wide they can freight to any destination.
