Keep your fleet and equipment compliant by using our diesel exhaust fluid.
If your operation uses diesel-powered equipment that has Selective Catalytic Reduction (SCR) systems, as most modern diesel engines do, you’ll need a dependable supplier for your diesel exhaust fluid. Our team at Security Oil is proud to provide quality diesel exhaust fluid to our El Dorado, Kansas area customers, helping you take care of your equipment and the environment.
Diesel exhaust fluid is a liquid solution that is used in modern diesel engines to reduce harmful emissions. The high-temperature combustion process that diesel engines require to run produces nitrogen oxide (NOx), which is a key ingredient in ground-level ozone formation. When NOx reacts with volatile organic compounds in sunlight, it creates ozone smog, or the brown haze that you often see over cities. In 2010, the EPA put stricter regulations in place to reduce NOx emissions, which is why diesel exhaust fluid is so essential today.
Vehicles with Selective Catalytic Reduction systems inject diesel exhaust fluid into the exhaust stream. When injected, the fluid breaks down into ammonia, which reacts with NOx and converts it to harmless nitrogen and water vapor. The process can help reduce NOx emissions by a significant percentage, making it an effective solution for combating the negative impacts of diesel vehicle operation.
Our team can deliver diesel exhaust fluid directly to your facility, making it easier to stay compliant with EPA regulations. We are also happy to provide the essential information about the storage and handling of diesel exhaust fluid for your convenience. Key things to note include:
- Diesel exhaust fluid should only be kept in stainless steel or approved plastics for storage and/or dispensing.
- You should store diesel exhaust fluid in a cool, dry place, out of direct sunlight, and at temperatures between 12°F and 90°F. Freezing will not impact the quality of the fluid, but you will need to heat it in the winter to keep it in liquid form.
- With proper handling and containers, diesel exhaust fluid is good for about 2 years in storage.
- Diesel exhaust fluid reacts with aluminum, copper, and carbon steel, so never use hoses, nozzles, or other equipment made of those materials to store, transport, or dispense the fluid.
