FAQ

DEF

What is DEF?

Diesel exhaust fluid (DEF) is a pure, aqueous solution, utilized in today’s diesel selective catalytic reduction (SCR) engines to reduce noxious nitrogen oxide (NOx) emissions. DEF is sprayed into the exhaust stream by an advanced injection system and then converted into ammonia, which breaks down dangerous NOx emissions into nitrogen and water.

How is DEF made?

Our DEF starts with automotive grade urea, sourced as a pure urea liquid.

How is DEF handled?

DEF is a sensitive fluid with stringent tolerances related to today’s complex emissions control systems. Strict handling procedures are enforced throughout our supply chain.

How is DEF delivered?

Blue Network DEF is delivered in temperature controlled stainless steel tankers, using only Measures Canada approved equipment. Specialized, sealed-air dispensing equipment transfers the pure fluid to your onsite tanks.

How is DEF stored?
