CleanAirBlue Adblue 20L Can With Spout

Product Information

AdBlue and SCR systems are highly effective, reducing NOx emissions by up to 90%, hydrocarbon and carbon monoxide emissions by 50-90%, and particulate emissions by 30-50%. What’s more, when your SCR-equipped vehicle’s AdBlue levels are running low, a warning alert will appear on the dashboard. If it runs out completely, the car will lose power and reduce its emissions in line with legal standards. Its performance will be returned when its AdBlue tank has been replenished. AdBlue is a non-toxic, non-flammable and odourless solution that contains 32.5% of high purity water and 67.5% of deionised water. Why is AdBlue needed? Remember to include these additional costs when looking at AdBlue from various suppliers. How long does AdBlue last and how do I store it?

Reducing Nox emissions is essential as it brings diesel-engined vehicles in line with Euro 6 emissions regulations, which called for a 67% drop in nitrogen oxides (NOx) released in the exhaust emissions of diesel cars. The transport industry is the biggest contributor of greenhouse gas emissions – and diesel-powered vehicles and equipment account for almost half of all nitrogen oxides (NOx). As so, the UK government is putting increasing pressure on diesel car manufacturers to do something about the substantial amount of harmful emissions released by diesel exhausts.

AdBlue is a highly purified diesel exhaust fluid (DEF) with the official name AUS32 which stands for Aqueous Urea Solution 32.5%. It is, in fact, a legal requirement to use AdBlue in a Heavy Goods Vehicle above 7.5 tonnes or a diesel engine car that’s fitted with Selective Catalytic Reduction (SCR). What is AdBlue fluid made of?

The price of AdBlue for a UK business isn’t just the price of the diesel exhaust fluid itself. The cost will depend on your fleet and its consumption will depend on your vehicles and their usage. In the event of a large spill, make sure the solution does not enter any drains or waterways. Then, contain the spill with a spill kit and dispose of it safely. As well as reducing NOx without harming engines, TotalEnergies AdBlue® also features TotalEnergies ClearNOx, an additive within the solution that cleans SCR systems, improving their cold and stop-start performance. Reducing clogging in exhaust, ClearNOx has been shown to remove the risk of clogging for up to 50,000km and reduce maintenance costs. The main benefit of bringing your fleet in line with Euro 6 standards is that it decreases the overall negative environmental impact of your business operations. It furthermore helps your company to gain more ‘green’ awards and accreditation for meeting emissions regulations. When your SCR-equipped vehicle’s AdBlue levels are running low, a warning alert will appear on the dashboard. If it runs out of completely, the car will lose power and reduce its emission in line with legal standards. Its performance will be returned when its AdBlue tank has been replenished.If you suspect AdBlue contamination, you must not use the solution and dispose of safely as it can damage your engines AdBlue has become key in helping reduce NOx output from engines as standards have sharpened for transportation vehicles, as well as off-road vehicles and passenger engines. SCR is a reliable way of cleaning your engine. The exhaust after treatment technique works by converting nitrogen oxides (NOx) into diatomic nitrogen (N2) and water using ammonia or urea solutions. SCR equipped engines use a Diesel Exhaust Fluid (DEF) such as AdBlue and this is stored in a separate tank in the system and is injected into the exhaust stream. The injection causes a chemical reaction which occurs in the SCR catalytic converter.

For many UK businesses, AdBlue is a legal requirement when running Heavy Goods Vehicles (HGVs) that use diesel. This infers an extra cost which can be hard to calculate. But what is AdBlue, how does it reduce greenhouse gas emissions and what happens if you fail to use it? Read on to learn more.

Is AdBlue an additive to diesel?

If your diesel vehicle was registered after September 2015, it likely uses AdBlue®. Often, the model name will feature the words ‘SCR’ or ‘Blue’, and if the vehicle is produced by a European manufacturer, the use of AdBlue® technology is more likely. How long does AdBlue® last and how much AdBlue® should I use?
