Why Choose Blue Sky
Diesel engines are known for their efficiency but also for generating harmful emissions. Excess air in the combustion process leads to the creation of NOx, which includes nitric oxide (NO) and nitrogen dioxide (NO2). These emissions can have serious health and environmental consequences, such as respiratory illnesses, increased susceptibility to infection, and the risk of acid rain.
Blue Sky Environmental Technologies (Pty) Ltd is registered with the Verband der Automobilindustrie e.V. and licensed to manufacture AdBlue® according to the ISO 22241 specification.
This manufacturing process is audited by the Verband der Automobilindustrie e.V. every 3 years.
Every litre of AdBlue® is accompanied by a batch number, which batch number, has a corresponding test result as tested by a SANAS independent laboratory.
What is AdBlue®?
AdBlue® is a high-quality product manufactured from imported European technical grade urea and is an ultra high purity urea solution in deionized water.
The Benefits of AdBlue®
AdBlue® is your solution for reducing harmful emissions and cutting fuel costs by an average of 5%. It’s compatible with most weather conditions but be mindful that storing it at temperatures exceeding 30°C for extended periods can cause hydrolysis, reducing its effectiveness and shelf life. Protect it from external factors like sunlight and dust.
Who Can Benefit from AdBlue®?
Modern diesel engines equipped with Selective Catalytic Reduction (SCR) systems in their exhausts can reap the rewards of AdBlue®. This includes a wide range of vehicles and equipment, from trucks, buses, and tractors to cars, vans, and off-road vehicles, which meets euro 4/6 standards.
Ships, trains and power stations require a higher percentage of urea in the diesel exhaust fluid (AdBlue) and is called AUS40, which is a 40% urea base solution.
How AdBlue® Works
SCR engines use a diesel exhaust fluid (DEF) like AdBlue®, stored in a separate tank and injected into the exhaust stream. This injection triggers a chemical reaction in the SCR catalytic converter, transforming NOx emissions into environmentally friendly components: diatomic nitrogen (N2) and water. This sustainable and effective method safeguards the environment.
