Diesel Exhaust Fluid and AdBlue
Magnetic-drive pumps are employed in the handling and distribution of diesel exhaust fluid (DEF), also known as AdBlue, which is used in selective catalytic reduction (SCR) systems to reduce nitrogen oxide emissions from diesel engines. These pumps are utilized in DEF production facilities, bulk storage terminals, and dispensing equipment at refueling stations. For example, in truck stops and service stations, magnetic-drive pumps are used in DEF dispensers to transfer the fluid from storage tanks to vehicle tanks accurately and safely, ensuring compliance with emissions regulations. Additionally, in DEF production plants, these pumps are employed to circulate urea solution through filtration and blending processes to produce high-quality DEF with precise urea concentration and purity levels.
