Product Description
What is Automotive Grade Urea?
Automotive-grade urea, also known as diesel exhaust fluid
(DEF) or AdBlue, is a solution
used in selective catalytic reduction (SCR) systems in
diesel engines. It is designed to reduce harmful
nitrogen oxide (NOx) emissions from diesel vehicles.
Automotive-grade urea is a highly purified solution of
urea dissolved in demineralized water. It is non-toxic,
non-flammable, and safe to handle. The urea solution is
injected into the vehicle's exhaust system, where it
undergoes a chemical reaction with the hot exhaust
gases.
Inside the SCR catalyst, the urea solution breaks down
into ammonia (NH3) and carbon dioxide (CO2). The
ammonia reacts with the NOx emissions, converting them
into nitrogen (N2) and water vapor (H2O), which are
harmless components of the air we breathe.
What should we pay attention to when we choose a AGU
supplier?
1. Quality assurance.
Look for suppliers that adhere to ISO 22241 standards.
This ensures that prilled urea you purchase meets the
necessary purity and quality requirements.
2. Certification and Compliance: For example, in
Europe, DEF must meet the DIN 70070 standard. and do
they have the REACHE certificate that required in
Europe market.
3. Supply Chain Capability: They should have the
capacity to provide a consistent and uninterrupted
supply of Automotive urea to meet your requirements.
4. Pricing and Contracts: Compare prices from different
suppliers, but also consider the overall value
provided.

What is the negative effects of using inferior urea to
produce Diesel Exhaust Fluid
1. Reduced Effectiveness: Inferior urea may not have
the same purity or quality standards as
automotive-grade urea. This can result in a lower
conversion efficiency of nitrogen oxide (NOx) emissions
in the selective catalytic reduction (SCR) system. As a
result, the vehicle's emissions may not be effectively
reduced, potentially leading to environmental
non-compliance or failing emission standards.
2. Damaged SCR System: Low-quality urea can contain
impurities or contaminants that can cause damage to the
SCR system components. These impurities can clog or
foul the SCR catalyst, reducing its effectiveness and
potentially leading to costly repairs or
replacements.
3. Increased Maintenance Costs: Inferior urea can lead
to more frequent clogging or malfunctioning of the SCR
system, requiring more frequent maintenance and
cleaning procedures. This can result in increased
maintenance costs and downtime for the vehicle.
4. Risk of Engine Performance Issues: Poor-quality urea
may contain higher levels of impurities that can
adversely affect the engine's performance. This can
result in decreased fuel efficiency, power loss, or
other engine-related issues, reducing
overall vehicle performance.
5. Release of Harmful Emissions: If impure urea is
used, it can lead to the release of harmful ammonia
(NH3) or other byproducts into the exhaust system.
These emissions can contribute to air pollution and
negate the purpose of using SCR technology to reduce
harmful emissions.

The market for DEF is being created due to
the new emission requirements promulgated by the EPA to meet
the most recent Clean Air Act specifications. As depicted
below the progressive reduction in diesel emissions has
driven tremendous changes in engine requirements over the
past 15 years. These efforts have been focused on reducing
particulates, S, and NOX emissions. DEF is focused on meeting
the 2010 requirement for NOX emissions
reductions.
The specific approach used to reduce NOX
emissions requiring DEF is referred to as SCR or Selective
Catalytic Reduction. SCR uses a chemical called Diesel
Exhaust Fluid (DEF / Urea) and a SCR catalytic converter to
significantly reduce nitrogen oxide (NOx) emissions in diesel
engines.
