The urea quality sensor technology addresses industry quality control concerns by ensuring a specific quality of urea is delivered into the exhaust gas stream. The introduction of a urea quality sensor into the SCR system also reduces the risk of tampering or accidental mis-filling and helps ensure compliance, thus satisfying concerns of users and legislators alike. This contributes to the overall success of SCR as a NO_x reduction technology.

Mitsui has extensive experience in SCR compliance technology and has greatly contributed to the successful introduction of SCR in Japan. This technology removes one of the few remaining barriers to the application of SCR technology as a global solution to the reduction of harmful nitrous oxides from diesel vehicles. We look forward to assisting Mitsui in developing the European market for their urea quality sensor.

CDT has a history of working with Mitsui, including Mitsui’s licensing of CDT’s Advanced Reagent Injector System (ARIS) for use in stationary and mobile applications in Japan. Clean Diesel Technologies last week announced it is introducing integrated urea-dosing units into Europe to work with existing Selective Catalytic Reduction Systems (SCR). (Earlier post.)
