Diesel vehicles in Australia with a selective catalytic reduction (SCR) system are required to use a diesel exhaust fluid, such as AdBlue, to help reduce exhaust emissions. We talked to Bill Verhagen from Cummins Filtration Australia and Dean Cook from AFLO Equipment to get their views on some of the things you may need to consider when having AdBlue delivered straight to your depot.
Adblue是一种尿素溶液，用于帮助减少与SCR系统的柴油车辆的排放。将流体储存在卡车上的罐中，喷射到排气中，并将氮气排放的氧化物转化为无害的气体和水蒸气。[2]
它是一个稳定，无毒，非污染和不易燃的解决方案，会议接受了国际纯洁和组成的国际标准。
Modern engines are required to adhere to regulations around emission levels. Without a product such as AdBlue, exhaust sensors may detect higher emissions and may cause the engine control system to reduce output, meaning the engine will operate at a reduced capacity.
根据康明斯过滤澳大利亚，拟订消费量约占柴油燃料的5％，取决于条件，所以对于每100升柴油燃料燃烧，大约五升的宪竹被消耗。[3]
在现场存储adblue
AdBlue is basically water and urea, but is corrosive and should be stored and handled with care and in accordance with the relevant storage, handling and safety requirements.
AFLO Equipment General Manager Dean Cook suggests using a self-bunded or twin-skin tank.
“那种方式，如果内坦克确实破裂或泄漏，外面的障碍将包含该产品，”库克说。“此外，需要保持在一定温度范围内（-11oC至32oC的最大值），并且罐上的额外皮肤将提供极端温度的保护。
“我们有两种类型的坦克，两者都被捆绑了。较便宜的圆形多罐经常受到较小的运输公司的青睐，而较大的车队往往倾向于更喜欢石线线罐，这些坦克是一个带有不锈钢矩形内罐的重型钢外壳，因为它占房地产的不锈钢矩形内罐，是耐用的使用不同的分配器解决方案，较重的职责和更可定制的可用于适合它。“
Cook suggests the best location for positioning the tank is beside the existing diesel tank, so drivers can fill up both products at the same time.
“It’s important to also keep in mind the temperature requirements, so the tank would preferably be sited under shelter or shade, away from extreme weather.”
监控使用
Some storage tanks have automated monitoring systems, which may perform:
- 坦克水平监测罐中的液体量;和
- Fluid monitoring, to manage the usage of each driver, who will have a key card or tag allowing them to access the product.
“你选择的系统归结为您想要监控的内容，”库克说。“有些公司只是想知道每天坦克的实际水平，所以他们从未用完;其他人想跟踪谁是使用什么。“
如果该仓库具有已经到位的燃料管理系统，则框架罐可以能够连接到它中。如果是这样，当驱动程序使用其钥匙卡访问柴油和框架时，系统应同时跟踪和合并两种产品的使用量。
“这比单独记录两种产品更有效，然后合并和调整使用统计数据，”库克说。
质量和可靠性
您可以采取哪些步骤，以确保拟订产品被交付给您的仓库是最高品质？
Cummins Filtration Australia Market Segment Leader Bill Verhagen suggests asking the supplier to show they haveVDA制造商的认证。
“The AdBlue you purchase should be fully compliant with the International Organization for Standardization standard ISO 22241-1, and be certified to the German Association of the Automotive Industry (VDA) for AdBlue manufacture and quality systems,” Verhagen says.
“You could also ask if the supplier can provide a certificate of analysis for any given batch of material, to prove it is in accordance with the standard.
“我们有一个记录系统，允许我们追溯并在需要时生产该证书。”
供应安全
供应安全is another factor to consider, Verhagen says.
“Quality is important, but so is knowing that your supplier will reliably deliver product and ongoing support. For a transport fleet operator who wants to have trucks out on time every day, that’s critical.
“The depot can have an ATG (automated tank gauging) or telemetry system installed on the tank, providing real-time information to both manager and supplier, who can monitor levels and schedule top-ups as needed,” he says, adding that it’s a lot harder to have timely deliveries without that centralised system.
Adblue可从选定的外壳服务站的泵中的Viva 雷电竞Energy，或用于散装仓库交付。有关您批量拟订要求的建议和帮助，请联系Ashley Backman在03 8823 3692的运输销售团队中。
