Diesel-run engines are renowned for their high torque and efficiency. Yet, they are infamous for high pollution rates, especially the release of fine particulates. It is where Diesel Exhaust Fluid making machines come in.
They manufacture DEF in vast quantities to meet the requirements of heavy-duty vehicles and diesel-based cars. This fluid (diesel exhaust fluid) is a chemical mixture of urea (32.5%) and deionized water (67.5%). The world knows DEF by various names, AdBlue being the most common.
Diesel exhaust fluid is a must-use in diesel engines to limit the emission of NOx (oxides of nitrogen). Nitrogen oxides cause respiratory issues, such as asthma, and excessive exposure leads to chronic lung disease.
Diesel exhaust fluid-making machines solve this pollution nuisance and allow vehicles to achieve BS-VI (Bharat Stage-VI) fuel norms. Besides meeting BS-VI emission standards, it adheres to the regulations laid down by the European Union in Europe and Environmental Protection Agency in the USA.
This blog discusses the various components of AdBlue-making machines and how they work. Furthermore, it addresses the safety measures employed by DEF manufacturers.
Leading diesel exhaust fluid manufacturing plants in India, like EraBlue, produce fully-automatic AdBlue machines. Equipped with multiple components, they deliver AdBlue/DEF plant as per the demand and their manufacturing capacity.
Some key features of AdBlue-making machines include a urea-dissolving system, a deionized water supply, heat exchangers, and a control panel.
Being an aqueous urea solution, DEF requires mixing urea with water. DEF manufacturing machines use technical grade urea, available as crystals or prills. Plant workers empty the prills through the hopper, and the urea mixes with water in the blender.
DEF-making machines do not use water directly sourced from tanks. Stored water in tanks must pass through a deionized plant before being utilized.
Deionization removes ions from water, both positively (cations) and negatively charged (anions). Additionally, it eliminates every other pollutant, rendering it clean and decontaminated.
Technical grade urea (32.5%) and deionized water (67.5%) mix amid favorable conditions to form DEF or AdBlue.
Heat exchangers in AdBlue manufacturing machines control the temperature to ensure top-notch quality of the final product. They prevent urea from crystallizing, maintaining the efficiency of the unit.
EraBlue, a popular diesel exhaust fluid manufacturing plant in India, offers fully automatic machines. Technicians set the desired temperature, quantity, and other parameters through the control panel. The machine’s PLC (Programmable Logic Controller) handles the entire process, ensuring DEF production of supreme quality.
Technical grade urea possesses corrosive qualities. Hence, DEF manufacturing machines must have a non-eroding metal. The usage of alloys of aluminum, iron, copper, and bronze happens to be counter-intuitive in DEF production and must be avoided.
Manufacturers have to ensure optimal storage conditions to prevent any wastage.
EraBlue-manufactured DEF machines also come with a filter-replace notification system. Removal of old filters is crucial to maintain the proficiency of the machine.
Closing Thoughts on DEF Making Machines:
Diesel exhaust fluid-making machines use technical grade urea and deionized water in a definite proportion to produce DEF or AdBlue. Trucks, coaches, and diesel-run cars use this fluid to limit nitrogen oxide emissions and increase the vehicle’s life span.The manufacturing process can be semi-automatic or fully automatic, depending on the model you select for your factory. At EraBlue, you get fully-automatic machines with capacities ranging from 800L to 100KL.
