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
