Emissco looks to increase its Adblue capacity
FLUID and aerosols manufacturer Emissco has added a 120,000 litre Adblue tank farm to its fluid packaging plant at its Stoke-on-trent headquarters.
The Cheadle company has increased the capacity of its Adblue tank farm at its Brookhouse Industrial Estate base to help meet the increasing demand from its customers. Emissco – which is part of the Klarius Group – is the premium UK partner of Adblue manufacturer Yara. It bottles and distributes Yara Air1 Adblue to retailers, garage forecourts, motor factors and repair shops. Its new Adblue tank farm consists of four 30,000 litre tanks, which together can hold the capacity of four full tanker lorries.
Mark Brickhill, CEO at Emissco, said: “Adblue is a critical product for modern diesel vehicles to comply with the latest emissions standards. The vast majority of commercial vehicle fleets require Adblue to operate. We provide packaged Yara Air1 Adblue throughout the UK. To provide this volume requires large storage capacity, so we invested to further improve our capabilities, with the target to process and package 16 to 20 million litres of fluid every year.”
He added: “With this increased storage capacity, we can continue to support the volume requirements of the consumer, ensuring easy access to Yara Air1 Adblue throughout the UK. “The tank farm has been operational since August and we have already reached the milestone of packaging six million litres of Adblue within six months, and ahead of schedule. “Continuous investment is a key policy at Emissco, and we have designed this Adblue tank farm to easily accommodate extra filling machines and further expansions. This means that diesel vehicle owners can benefit from this essential product.”
