Diesel Exhaust Fluid (DEF) was developed to help keep heavy-duty diesel fueled machinery like boilers operating within federal emissions standards. At the chemical level, DEF is a combination of 67.5% de-ionized water and 32.5% urea that transforms harmful nitrous oxide emissions into harmless water and gas. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Urea is an organic chemical compound produced as waste by\nthe body after metabolizing protein\u2014but the urea used in DEF is not (despite\nsome confusion on the subject) derived from human or animal urine. For nearly\ntwo centuries, scientists have been able to create synthetic urea, which is\nmuch more appropriate for the DEF application. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

DEF isn\u2019t actually a fuel additive, and it never comes in\ncontact with diesel. Rather, it is stored in a separate tank and is pumped into\nthe exhaust stream of diesel machinery to break down dangerous NOx emissions\ninto safe nitrogen and water. This process is called Selective Catalytic\nReduction (SCR).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Changes in EPA emission standards have required diesel\nburning machines to reduce their output, and SCR is the technology of choice\nfor this purpose. As emission standards have continued to expand to include\noff-road vehicles, generators, and a variety of engines, the use of DEF is\nbecoming more and more widespread.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

To properly deliver DEF, the Diesel Exhaust Fluid Urea Pump system<\/a> is designed to safely and effectively transfer DEF fluid from a tank to diesel equipment, helping facilities comply with strict NOx emission regulations. Constructed using stainless steel piping and pumps, the DEF system lasts in even the most abusive outdoor environments. We proudly make DEF Urea Pump Systems in the USA. Here are the specifications:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Flow Capacity: 100-300 GPH
\nPressure Capacity: 100 PSI
\nPump Type: Centrifugal with Stainless construction
\nStandard Accessories: All Stainless Steel
