We enjoy a large variety of fresh produce, from around the world, year-round. Fruits, vegetables and other perishable goods travel thousands of kilometers to our grocery stores. But with this luxury comes costs, both from transportation and environmental impact.
The solution? Reduce emissions and increase fuel economy with urea. Less than 2 L of an aqueous, 32.5% urea solution, commonly referred to as AdBlue or Diesel Exhaust Fluid (DEF), reduces fuel consumption by 3 % to 8 % for 100 L of diesel, and costs about half as much. On top of that, it eliminates up to 90 % of nitrogen oxides from exhaust fumes, leading to further savings through reduced taxes and tolls on vehicle emissions.
How can the quality of your urea solution be ensured? Anton Paar’s Abbemat family of refractometers can swiftly and simply determine the solution’s concentration of urea, in compliance with international standard ISO 22241. The Abbemat family of refractometers allows custom functions for urea concentration determination, with a refractive index accuracy of up to ± 0.00002. The built-in Peltier element for temperature control ensures quick and easy measurements at a range of temperatures, and modularity allows for combined setups with other equipment, such as density meters. To ensure simplicity and reproducibility, the instruments are fully automatic and user-independent. Fast track your road to savings with Anton Paar refractometers.
