Importance of not contaminating AdBlue® and compatible materials according to ISO 22241

AdBlue is a delicate solution that requires care to avoid contamination, as its purity is essential for the correct functioning of the Selective Catalytic Reduction (SCR) systems in diesel vehicles. The contamination of AdBlue, even in small quantities, can compromise the effectiveness of the SCR system, causing malfunctions and potential engine damage. Therefore, it is crucial to use dedicated pumps and containers during the transfer and handling of AdBlue, avoiding any contact with oils, fuels, or other contaminants.

The equipment and materials used for transferring and storing AdBlue must comply with the ISO 22241 standard. This standard specifies the liquid’s purity requirements and compatible materials, which include stainless steel, specific plastics like polyethylene (PE) and polypropylene (PP), and other corrosion-resistant materials. Using incompatible materials can cause the dissolution of contaminating elements into the liquid, compromising its quality.

There are pumps that meet these requirements and can assist you in managing AdBlue. Let's take a closer look at them.

Ampla's Manual Pumps for AdBlue

Manual pumps for AdBlue are ideal in situations like:

• For transferring small quantities of AdBlue: Manual pumps are affordable and easily transportable, ideal for refueling vehicles.
• In places without electrical power: These pumps do not require electricity, making them perfect for use in areas without power outlets.

Who is this information/equipment for?

AdBlue is handled and used by various companies, including:

• Agricultural companies: For refueling tractors and agricultural machinery.
• Transport companies: For refueling trucks and commercial vehicles.
• Workshops: For refueling private vehicles.
• Service companies: For refueling service vehicles like fire trucks and ambulances.

In summary, to ensure the proper functioning of SCR systems and comply with environmental regulations, it is essential to use equipment and materials that comply with ISO 22241 for transferring and storing AdBlue, ensuring its purity and the integrity of the liquid.
