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.

AdBlue Wiki Entry - Adblue decay and contamination
AdBlue is the registered trademark for AUS32 (Aqueous Urea Solution 32.5%) and is used in a process called selective catalytic reduction (SCR) to reduce emissions of oxides of nitrogen from the exhaust of diesel engined motor vehicles.
As the name AUS32 would suggest, it is a 32.5% solution of high-purity urea in demineralized water that is clear, non-toxic and is safe to handle. However, it can be corrosive for some metals, and must be stored and transported using the correct materials. The AdBlue trademark is currently held by the German Association of the Automobile Industry (VDA), who ensure quality standards are maintained in accordance with ISO 22241 specifications.[1]
AdBlue is carried onboard SCR-equipped vehicles in specially designed tanks, and is dosed into the SCR system at a rate equivalent to 3–5% of diesel consumption. This low dosing rate ensures long refill periods and minimises the tank's impact on chassis space. On-highway SCR systems are currently in use throughout Europe, in Japan, Australia, Hong Kong, Taiwan, Korea, New Zealand and Singapore. The United States Environmental Protection Agency's (US EPA) 2010 legislation will limit NOx to levels that will require North American trucks to be equipped with SCR post-2010. The current generic name in North America for AUS32 is diesel exhaust fluid (DEF). Some trucking industry OEMs have already developed branded SCR solutions, such as Daimler's BlueTec.
All European truck manufacturers currently offer SCR equipped models, and the future Euro6 emission standard is set to reinforce the demand for this technology. SCR systems are sensitive to potential chemical impurities in the urea solution, therefore, it is essential to maintain high standards of AdBlue quality according to the ISO 22241 standard.
The use of SCR technology in Europe made it necessary to develop an AdBlue supply infrastructure. AdBlue is available from thousands of service stations, this locator finder is updated monthly with new Retail sites selling AdBlue. It can also be purchased in canisters of 5 or 10 litres at service stations. Larger quantities of AdBlue can be delivered in, for example, 208 litres (46 imp gal; 55 US gal) drums, 1,000 litres (220 imp gal; 260 US gal) intermediate bulk container (IBCs), and bulk.
