Uralchem has launched the production of AdBlue at Yartsevo in Russia’s Smolensk region.
Production capacity is about 1,250 mt per month, with the possibility of raising this to up to 2,500 mt per month, the company said in a July 9 statement.
On the day of the official opening of the new production line, AdBlue was shipped in bulk in a 25-ton tanker truck, with a loading time of 35 minutes, said Uralchem. The producer said it plans to ship two-to-three tanker truck loads of AdBlue per month to different customers.
Uralchem hitherto has been a manufacturer of low-biuret urea for leading AdBlue manufacturers in Russia and abroad.
“The new production involves the use of advanced production technologies and will provide consumers with high-quality competitive domestic products focused on import substitution and environmental considerations,” the company said.
