If your fleet includes vehicles from the year 2006 or onwards then there is a chance that you are already using AdBlue. This AdBlue for businesses guide will include everything you need to know when it comes to purchasing AdBlue for your company vehicles.
What Is AdBlue?
AdBlue is a solution composed of deionized water and urea, both of which are non-toxic substances. This fluid is designed to be automatically injected into the exhaust system of your diesel vehicle, aiding in the reduction of harmful emissions.
What Is AdBlue Made Of?
AdBlue solution consists of a precise mixture of 32.5% urea and 67.5% de-ionized water. The urea component of AdBlue is derived by subjecting synthetic ammonia and carbon dioxide to heat. Subsequently, the resulting urea is combined with de-ionized water, resulting in the creation of AdBlue.
How Does AdBlue Work?
Upon being sprayed into the exhaust system, the AdBlue solution initiates a reaction with the nitrogen oxide gas generated during the combustion process. This reaction effectively transforms the harmful emissions into steam and nitrogen, thereby contributing to the reduction of pollutants.
