SELECTA BLUE FROM SILVAN AUSTRALIA ADDRESSES THE INTRODUCTION OF AUS32 (AQUEOUS UREA) TO DIESEL Australian farmers, contractors, transport and mining companies and other users of diesel fuel are now required to meet the recently adopted Australian Design Rules that have been introduced to create reduced vehicle or equipment emissions from the use of diesel fuel. From 1 January this year a new Standard (ADR 80/03) that complies with the Euro 5 standard which has been in effect since September 2009, limits the quantity of NOX (Nitrogen oxides) and particulate matter that is emitted to the atmosphere by heavy vehicles with a gross vehicle mass of more than 4.5 tonnes. Many trucks and tractors recently imported into Australia already comply with the standard. In order to comply the motor vehicle industry has developed new technologies to reduce emissions to meet the standard, including a new engine exhaust system called Selective Catalytic Reduction (SCR) which uses a 32% Aqueous Urea solution added to diesel fuel to treat the emissions. The Urea solution (AUS32/DEF) is referred to under a number of trade names which are AdBlue™, NoNOX® and Air1®. The new system requires a separate storage tank on a vehicle where AUS32 is stored and sprayed directly into an additional catalyser in the exhaust where the pollutant exhaust gases (NOx) are converted into safe atmospheric gases (N2). The approximate consumption rate is five litres of AUS32 to every 100 litres of diesel used. While AUS32 is not classified as a dangerous substance it can be corrosive to inappropriate metals, plastics and hoses which could introduce contaminants into the catalyser. AUS32 is supplied by a number of options including a bulk tanker delivery, in 1000 litre IBC containers, 200litre drums and 10 litre emergency containers. Recognising the important changes that AUS32 will create for users of diesel fuel Silvan Australia is at the forefront in introducing a full range of urea dispensing equipment to match the strict requirements of contamination free transfer of AUS32.
Known as the Selecta Blue Range the transfer equipment is sourced from the Suzzara Blue range of Piusi, the Italian based company that is a world leader in fluid handling solutions. The Selecta Blue products are all made from AUS32 compatible materials and the range includes electric and hand pumps, hose reels and hoses, flow meters, and monitoring solutions, dispensing nozzles, fittings and connectors to suit both drums and IBC containers of AUS32. For instance the range includes self priming electric pumps of 12, 24 and 240 volts, which attach directly to an IBC container, drum pump or trolley kits which are designed to combine with 200 litre plastic drums. Significant information is available from Silvan Australia and Selecta dealers Australia-wide including the new Selecta Blue 12 page catalogue and instructional guide to the obligations and handling alternatives that are involved with transferring AUS32, the Aqueous Urea Solution to diesel fuel systems. Copies of the Selecta Blue catalogue are available on request to 1300 SILVAN (1300 745 826) or can be downloaded from www.silvan.com.au
