Remanufactured AdBlue Tanks – Technology, Savings and Ecology with RIVOLV

AdBlue tanks play a crucial role in Selective Catalytic Reduction (SCR) systems, which are used in modern diesel-powered vehicles. The SCR system uses a urea solution – AdBlue – to convert harmful nitrogen oxides (NOx) into harmless nitrogen and water vapor. The tank stores the fluid and delivers it in a precisely controlled manner to the injector located before the SCR catalyst. This system is crucial for meeting Euro 6 emission standards.

AdBlue Tank Structure

The AdBlue tank is an integrated system consisting of:

Main tank – made of chemically resistant plastic, resistant to AdBlue,
Supply pump – responsible for pressurized delivery of the fluid to the system,
Heating elements – preventing the fluid from freezing at temperatures below -11°C,
Level and temperature sensors – monitoring the fluid condition,
Electronic control unit – managing the operation of the entire system,
Dosing module with filter – responsible for precise dosing of the fluid to the exhaust system.

In PSA/Stellantis brand vehicles (Peugeot, Citroën, Opel), these components are often integrated into one tank module, which makes their replacement costly – hence the growing interest in remanufacturing.

AdBlue System Operating Principle

When the engine reaches the appropriate temperature, the SCR system activates the pump and delivers AdBlue to the injector, which sprays the fluid into the exhaust gases, initiating a chemical reaction. Nitrogen oxides (NOx) are converted into harmless compounds. The entire system is computer-controlled and dependent on engine load, speed, exhaust temperature, and AdBlue level.

Most Common AdBlue Tank Failures

The most common problems include:

AdBlue freezing – lack of heating can lead to tank cracks,
System contamination – resulting from the use of non-certified fluid,
Level or quality sensor failure – resulting in control unit errors,
Pump or heating module damage – leading to SCR function shutdown.

Often just one of these failures forces the replacement of the entire module – hence the significant importance of remanufacturing as an alternative.

AdBlue Tank Remanufacturing Process

The remanufacturing process follows these stages:

Initial diagnosis – assessment of damage and degree of wear,
Tank and line cleaning – removal of contaminants and crystallization deposits,
Component disassembly – inspection of pumps, heaters, sensors,
Replacement of damaged parts – with new or refurbished components,
Assembly and leak and operation tests – including electronic and pressure tests,
Quality certification – compliant with ISO 9001 standards and OE procedures.

According to Turbo-Tec:
“AdBlue tank remanufacturing allows for maintaining original operating parameters at a significantly lower cost than purchasing a new tank.” (Source: motofocus.pl)
