Urea storage – Krampitz storage tanks

Urea – taking the fear out of diesel

Diesel engines are considered the number one environmental polluter. However, modern engines with innovative management and a highly efficient exhaust gas purification system need not fear comparison to their gasoline counterparts with catalytic converters. With the Addition of urea Diesel engines will be just as clean and environmentally friendly as gasoline engines. The goal of minimizing nitrogen oxide is therefore easily achieved. However, storing urea is a challenge that only specialists can take on.

A substance with a future: urea

Urea is a safe and non-toxic chemical compound that occurs in pure form as a crystal or powder. As an additive in engines, it is mixed with water and stored in a 32,5% aqueous solution. In the engine, the urea supports nitrogen oxide minimization and, after passing through the catalytic converter, breaks down into ammonia and water vapor.

The addition of Urea is for diesel engines in trucks and construction vehicles already mandatory. This addition is controlled by the engine management via an additional urea tank.

For cars, the mandatory installation of a urea tank is only a matter of time. And even the biggest environmental offender of all, international freight shipping, can be made environmentally friendly by adding urea. An exhaust gas purification system for ships through the additional installation of urea storage tanks is already possible today without any problems.

The same applies to Industrial engines or for gas engines: Wherever a previous exhaust gas purification system does not provide sufficient performance, the desired nitrogen oxide minimization can be achieved using a modern catalytic converter and a urea tank.

Urea storage tanks – for consistently clean diesel additives

The challenge with Constructing urea storage tanks is not the urea itself, but the water in which it is dissolved. Urea storage tanks must be constructed to be rust-free. Contaminated urea is deadly to a diesel engine's expensive catalytic converter. In fact, incorrectly stored urea is one of the most common causes of defects in this component.

If incorrect storage can be proven to the gas station operator, very expensive recourse costs will result. Much more critical is contaminated Urea in the chemical industry: Incorrect storage can quickly result in millions in damages. Our urea tanks for gas stations are made of stainless steel. This good-natured, rust-free and emission-free material behaves absolutely neutrally towards the sensitive urea.

Stationary or mobile

We manufacture urea storage tanks for every purpose. Our Urea tanks for gas stations offer operators and customers the greatest possible security in ensuring that urea is always absolutely clean. In addition to the standard urea tanks for gas stations, we offer the right solution for every stationary or mobile use:

Urea tanks for industrial plants fit seamlessly into our proven production of chemical industrial tanks. Our series models cover filling volumes from 50 to 96.000 liters. However, we are also aware of the special challenges surrounding the storage and handling of urea.

We can create the right urea container for the chemical industry for both the “wet” and “dry” forms of urea. A significantly larger amount of this substance can be stored in dry form using a tank system for urea in combination with a mixing unit. In addition to our large selection of standard and series models, we are also happy to manufacture your urea tanks exactly according to your wishes. With over 30.000 tanks sold and 25 years of experience, we can meet any challenge.

If the urea storage tanks need to be mobile, we also have a range of solutions for you. Our containers for urea are modular and can be combined with a variety of existing industrial applications. Ours are here Urea containers for industrial plants can be assembled and dismantled just as quickly. Of course, the volume of urea containers for the chemical industry is limited - after all, they always have to fit on a truck.

The inexpensive series production of our containers for urea still allows you unlimited storage capacities: where a mobile container for urea is not enough, just stack several on top of each other. The robust construction of our mobile solutions allows the construction of multi-story storage modules. This means you and your customers are always well looked after, even for temporary projects.

Urea tanks for the petrochemical industry pose a special challenge. Even though urea itself is a completely harmless substance, everything in the environment of a petrochemical plant must still offer the highest level of safety. Leaking substances, regardless of their type, always pose a risk of accidents and therefore a fire in refineries, oil storage facilities or paint manufacturers.

We offer our urea tanks with particularly high safety features as desired. These include, for example, double-walled versions, which have already proven themselves very useful in fuel storage.

After purchase is before service

We won't leave you alone after purchasing urea containers and urea storage tanks. As one of the market-leading companies in our industry, after-sales service is very important to us. Whether expansions, modernization or repairs of older systems, we are always ready to help you with your challenges. Call us, even if you have previously been supplied by another manufacturer. We would be happy to convince you with the quality and excellent service of our tank solutions.
