AdBlue is the recognised brand name used for diesel exhaust fluid (DEF) and is used widely in agricultural machinery to reduce harmful emissions of nitrous oxide from diesel engines. Any machine or industrial vehicle with a diesel engine built after 2011 needs AdBlue to work effectively, as these engines are fitted with Selective Catalytic Reduction (SCR) systems in their exhausts. Using AdBlue reduces air pollution from farm machinery and makes your engines run more efficiently, so it is important for reducing the impact of your business on local air quality and can make your engines last longer.
AdBlue is a solution of high-purity urea (32.5%) and deionised water (67.5%) which reduces emissions from the diesel engines of vehicles like tractors, trucks, buses, and agricultural equipment. It is clear and non-toxic, so it’s safe to use and store on the farm. VDA-approved AdBlue is often produced by fertiliser plants, as it involves many of the same ingredients and processes
An engine equipped to use AdBlue will have a separate DEF tank from the diesel tank. The AdBlue is automatically injected into the exhaust system in amounts carefully controlled by the engine’s electronic control unit (ECU), based on the conditions of the engine.
Once injected into the exhaust, the AdBlue comes into contact with the SCR system. This uses the heat of the exhaust to cause a chemical reaction between the Nitrous Oxide (NO2 or NOx) in the exhaust gas and the urea (CH4N2O) in the AdBlue, producing Nitrogen gas (N), water vapour (H2O) and carbon dioxide (CO2). These gasses are then released into the atmosphere, causing much less air pollution than NOx.
AdBlue helps reduce harmful emissions from diesel engines to meet environmental regulations. It converts nitrogen oxide into harmless nitrogen and water vapour, reducing the amount of NOx that is released into the atmosphere. By using AdBlue, farms and agricultural businesses can reduce their impact on the environment and help to protect local air quality, which is good for people, crops, livestock and wildlife. Using AdBlue helps you keep NOx emissions from diesel combustion below 0.8mg/km, which is the limit set under Euro 6 legislation (2014).
AdBlue also improves engine performance. By reducing NOx emissions, AdBlue can optimise the combustion process, which can lead to better fuel economy and improved engine performance. AdBlue can also help to extend the life of your diesel engine and improve its overall performance, saving agricultural businesses money in the long run.
Farms and agricultural businesses use AdBlue with any equipment with both a diesel engine and an SCR system. This includes vehicles, tractors, quadbikes, pumps and generators. Because most farming facilities have multiple diesel vehicles operating daily, buying and storing AdBlue in bulk is a cost-effective strategy, creating minimal waste packaging and allowing convenient top-ups to multiple vehicles.
To use AdBlue effectively, there are a few considerations and precautions that should be taken:
Using AdBlue for agricultural vehicles is safe and effective, and skipping refilling your AdBlue tanks is not worth the reduction in performance that your engine will face.
You can buy AdBlue and have it delivered to your farm or agricultural business within 24 hours.
