Governing Standards for Urea Solution (Carbamide / DEF / AdBlue) Service
What to Avoid in Urea Solution (Carbamide / DEF / AdBlue) Service
- Carbon steel valves for any concentrated urea
- Cast iron valves
- Bronze in high-concentration urea at elevated temperature
Service Considerations
- Urea synthesis loop: extreme conditions - 150–200 barg, 180–200°C - requires pressure-seal bonnet gate valves
- Heat tracing mandatory on concentrated urea lines to prevent crystallisation
- Jacketed valves used for molten urea to maintain temperature
- DEF/AdBlue: HDPE or SS 316L only - copper, brass, zinc cause urea decomposition
