Urea DEF Storage Brochure

UREA DEF STORAGEU N D E R G R O U N D F I B E R G L A S S C H E M I C A L TA N K SContainment Solutions (CSI) was the fi rst fi berglass tank manufacturer in North America to complete independent third party testing for Urea DEF compatibility. CSIunderground fi berglass chemical tanks meet the quality and storage requirements in the ISO standard and the PEIRecommended Practice for storing Urea DEF. UNDERSTANDING UREA DEFUrea DEF (Diesel Exhaust Fluid) is used to control dieselengine discharges in order to meet EPA emission standards.Most new diesel vehicles use SCR (Selective CatalyticReduction) systems to inject Urea DEF directly into theexhaust stream to chemically neutralize about 90% of harmful NOx emissions. Urea DEF, or AUS 32, is a mixtureof 32.5% urea solution in demineralized/deionized or distilled water. The purity of the Urea DEF is critical for the SCR process to work. This process also improvesfuel effi ciency 3%-6%.As the number of SCR systems on the road increase to meetEPA standards, diesel dispensing facilities will require amplestorage to meet the growing demand. Most estimatesproject that by 2014, DEF demand will reach between 300and 750 million gallons nationwide.CSI, RECOGNIZED STORAGE SOLUTIONContainment Solutions contracted with an internationally accredited lab, to complete thorough testing of our fi berglass reinforced plastic (FRP) tank for compatibility with Urea Diesel Exhaust Fluid. The report concluded that the DEF solution conformed to ISO 22241-2 after several tests of exposure to the tank surface, confi rming that CSI’s tanks are suitable for the storage of Urea DEF. The testresults also led to a major DEF manufacturer recognizing CSI as the fi rst approved equipment supplier for bulk DEFstorage.We off er tank sizes up to 40,000 gallons to supply the increasing consumption well into the future. Tanks are locally manufactured and shipped across North America.UNDERGROUND FOR BULK STORAGEUrea DEF must remain between the temperature limitationsof 12° - 77°F in order to maintain its full shelf life. Extremetemperatures can deteriorate diesel exhaust fl uid, making anunderground tank the ideal solution.WHAT MAKES CSI A BETTER CHOICE?Thanks to a unique computer driven manufacturing process,our inner tank wall is not air-inhibited resulting in a glossy,smooth surface without the need for wax coatings/liners.The automated process produces a consistent, uniform tank thickness and allows for advanced fabrication methods likesurface veil on the inner surface.We utilize a special surface veil on the inner tank wall to meet the ASTM D4097 standard for FRP tanks for chemical storage. Though not required by ISO 22241, this extra layer of protection will keep your system workingproperly for years. Inferior tanks without this added level of security risk future contamination and loss of product.CSI UREA DEF TANKS• Double-wall tanks recommended,single-wall tanks also available• All tanks are built to UL 1316 standards• All tanks require at least one manway• EPDM or Tefl on Envelope Gaskets are used on allmanways and nozzles• All manway lids, fi ttings, hardware, and defl ector platesare stainless steel• Tank mounted fi ttings threaded stainless steel orfi berglass fl anged nozzles• 30-Year limited warranty5150 Jeff erson Chemical Road • Conroe, Texas 77301Phone: (800) 537-4730 • Fax: (936) 756-7766www.containmentsolutions.comTYPICAL UREA DEF CHEMICAL TANK DESIGNUrea DEF tanks aremanufactured to UL 1316 standards.Watertight PolygonTank SumpDouble-Wall FiberglassChemical TankContainment Collar4” Annular Space FittingFlanged Manwayw/ Stainless Steel LidStainless Steel Defl ector PlateStainless Steel Flanged FittingsOptional CSI Deadmen Anchors©2011 Containment Solutions, Inc.
