AdBlue is a well purified colorless liquid. It
contains urea (32.5%) & 67.5% of deionized water. AdBlue is used with
diesel engines thus also known as diesel exhausts fluid (DEF). Its main active
component is ammonia (main raw material of adblue) which is chemically formed
by hydrolyzing automotive urea. AdBlue is mainly used as a consumable fluid in
diesel & gasoline fuel-based vehicles. It is used with diesel engines using
Selective Catalytic Reduction (SCR) technology. The SCR technology reduces
harmful emissions (NOx). AdBlue is injected into the channel of the SCR system,
where it triggers a chemical reaction with ammonia. The chemical reaction
converts the toxic nitrogen oxides (NOx) into nitrogen (N2) & water vapor
(H2O). Water vapor & nitrogen are naturally occurring gasses which are
harmless to the environment. Some essential properties include crystallization,
corrosive, fitted for utility vehicles, evaporates and colorless & clear
liquid.
According to study, “South
Africa AdBlue Oil Research Report Information: Type, Application, Region and
End-Use - Forecast Till 2024” the key companies operating in the South
Africa adblue oil market are BASF SE, Viscol.co.za, Engen Petroleum Ltd. The
key companies have strategic visions to deliver quality-based products or
services to the customers across the globe.
Based on technology, market is segmented into
selective catalytic reduction and exhaust gas recirculation. Based on storage
solution, market is segmented into dispenser, portable containers and
intermediate bulk storage tank. Based on application, market is segmented into
vehicular and non-vehicular. In addition, based on end-use, market is segmented
into automotive, construction machinery, farm machinery, railway engines,
electronic generators and others.
The market is driven by increase in awareness
about harmful effects of fuel combustion for the environment, followed by
increase in penetration of passenger cars & commercial vehicles, increase
in disposable income, gradual adoption of the global emission reduction norms,
stringent environment protection regulations and change in lifestyle. However,
sluggish economic growth owing to looming macroeconomic factors and fluctuating
prices of urea may impact the market. Moreover, growth in use of the product in
agricultural machinery & construction equipment is a key opportunity for
market.
The South African market is an emerging
country for AdBlue oil and is projected to provide considerable development
reasons over the forthcoming years. The automotive industry is expected to
observe an optimistic change due to revitalizing economic scenario. This can be
attributed to the swell in the income levels and increase of the middle-class
population. Therefore, growth of market in the region is closely following the
augment of the automotive sector.
South Africa is currently witnessing a vast
surge in the sale of passenger & commercial vehicle. In addition, country
has also introduced stringent emission standards to make certain the amount of
pollutant released in the air stays within the limit. It is anticipated that
future of the market will be bright as a result of introduction of hybrid
selective non-catalytic reduction (SNCR) & selective catalytic reduction
(SCR) technologies over the forecast period.
