adblue information - cap contamination decay advice and information
AdBlue - Urea Solution / SCR CAT
Q and A's
1. What is AdBlue?Adblue is a very pure grade of urea that has to meet the automotive DIN 70070 specification which is being converted to an ISO standard.
2. What is the shelf life of AdBlue?As long as the stipulated storage conditions are observed, AdBlue has a shelf life of 12 months. However, if you still have some AdBlue after 12 months you don't need to dispose of it - you can have it analysed to check is still conforms to the AdBlue specification.
3. What happens if I don't put AdBlue in my vehicle?There will be no change in performance of early vehicles although the vehicle will be operating illegally and enforcement authorities such as VOSA have said they'll treat non-compliance seriously. However, in time vehicle's will be fitted with OBD that will reduce the power of the vehicles if they are run without AdBlue.
4. Will AdBlue be subject to tax or duty?Apart from VAT, no. It is understood there are no plans to introduce any duty.
5. Where can I buy AdBlue?As well as Volvo dealers, AdBlue will become available on some forecourts and truckstops. Bulk and IBC solutions are also easily installed at transport home depots/ yards to compliment existing fuel installations.
6. In what form can I buy AdBlue?AdBlue can be bought in packages of 10 litre canisters and 1000 litre IBC 's (Intermediate Bulk Container's) as well as in bulk supplied by road tanker.
7. It is hazardous or dangerous?AdBlue is safe therefore not explosive, flammable or toxic and is not subject to any hazardous products regulations such as ADR. Storage installations do need to be bunded however to protect water courses from potential AdBlue ingress due to perhaps a tank failure. AdBlue doesn't directly pollute but can promote the growth of algae which can in turn take away oxygen for other marine life.
8. Do existing vehicles (such as Euro III ) need changing or modifying? No, it only affects new vehicles although in certain cases some buses may have retrofit systems. This is due to their age and certain local air quality initiatives.
9. Is AdBlue; blue?No, it is a clear liquid very similar in appearance to water.
10. What is Air1?Air1 is a unique concept developed by Yara to ensure you a secured supply of the high-quality AdBlue needed in your SCR system. Yara has formed a partnership with Europe's largest distributor, Brenntag, to ensure the supply of AdBlue through the Air1 concept all accross Europe.
11. How much AdBlue will I need?It is expected that the average AdBlue consumption will be about 5% by volume of diesel consumption for Euro IV and about 6% for Euro V.

China's drive to reduce nitrous oxide (NOx) emissions will significantly increase demand for AdBlue additive over the next six years
A new report from global research company Integer, entitled "China Diesel Emissions & AdBlue Market Study 2011", predicts that demand for the NOx-reducing diesel additive is set to soar, with consumption growing to between 4.1 and 7.4 million tonnes by 2017. China currently consumes around 11,000 tonnes against Europe's 1.1 million.
Integer predicts that the exponential growth will be driven by the implementation of the China IV emission and fuel implementation standard. Although some areas of China, such as Beijing, Shanghai and Hong Kong, are already ahead of schedule for China IV standards, the overall programme has been delayed until at least January 2012.

However, once the new standards come into force, the nation's massive heavy truck sector - which in 2009 pumped out some 2.1m tonnes of NOx emissions - will be transformed through selective catalytic reduction (SCR) technology and the use of AdBlue.

Adblue Contamination - Did you know?
It only takes 5ml of Diesel to 20 litres of AdBlue in the AdBlue tank to turn it into a harmful paste. The first bit of advice is do not attempt to drive off the forecourt and call your breakdown company right away!

Adblue contamination support - CVS - The pictures
Adblue contamination support for decay and contamination for SCR/dosing adblue units.
Yara operates the largest adblue centres
Yara is currently one of the largest producers of Adblue in the world.
Its plant will have an annual capacity of 200,000 tonnes of Air1, one of the key ingredients in the urea solution used to reduce nitrogen oxide emissions from heavy-duty vehicles in Europe.
More details to come. For Adblue support and help for contamination and decay problems visit our site or talk to one of our professionals today.
