The Husky Way for DEF Products

Predictions for increased Diesel Exhaust Fluid (DEF) consumption continue to appear in the industry trade publications. In the “DEF Market Dynamics Report”, Integer Research suggested the market will reach one billion gallons per year in North America by 2019. The demand is driven by regulations requiring new diesel engines to utilize Selective Catalytic Reduction technology, which injects DEF into exhaust fumes to reduce harmful emissions from both on-road and off-road vehicles.

The report cites evidence of how the market is evolving in this account, as reported by “Bulk Transporter” online:

• The report details how certain supply modes have been following diverse pricing patterns since the start of the market. For example DEF prices from truck stops have remained largely stable over the last two years, whereas bulk sales are much more volatile and dependent on urea prices and on the level of competition in a specific area. 

Technology Like No Other

The strategic alliance between Husky and Benecor anticipates that customers will want a single, reliable source to help solve all their DEF needs – dispensing systems, bulk tank storage, pumps, hanging hardware and parts. The alliance provides a one-stop source for DEF dispensing solutions.

Husky has been known to be a pioneer in the fuel industry. Husky’s fueling product lines, such as nozzles, swivels, Safe-T-Breaks®, and jarheads are known for their high quality performance and safe-guarantee. Through continuous innovation and the strong drive for development in their products, Husky has brought their scale into handling DEF products as well. Husky-Benecor DEF products are there to meet any need you may have in dealing with the increased demand for DEF. Together with Benecor, Husky can create more outstanding and top-quality products for handling DEF.

BJE Takes Tank Monitoring Alarms to a New Level

BJE, the division of Husky Corporation which is the leading manufacturer of tank-monitoring alarm systems, is proud to offer products that make liquid level tracking effortless no matter the application. One such product is the FNTM Drum Gauge which measures level intervals of oil, transmission fluid, anti-freeze, and other non-explosive liquids. Another offering is the 55 Gallon Drum Alert, an enhanced stand-alone monitor that delivers an audible and visual alert when the 55 gallon drums require attention.

 

55 Drum Alert

The tedious task of constantly checking whether 55 gallon drums need attention is eliminated by BJE’s Drum Alert. For businesses that rely on key fluids to keep operating, it is crucial to have a hassle-free way of checking and monitoring the fluid levels. The Drum Alert will sound an alarm and provide a visual signal when the fluid reaches a critical low or high level. Although consumers must take note that this Drum Alert is not recommended for liquids with a specific gravity that is less than .85. Features and Benefits of the 55 Drum Alert:

• Rotating housing for best viewing orientation

• Vented design

• Simple installation

• 9-volt battery provided

• 2 plus year battery life

• Less expensive than comparable monitors

 

FNTM Drum Gauge

The FNTM is specifically engineered to monitor liquid intervals for standard 55 gallon metal drums. By utilizing capacitor technology, the battery-operated device stays in sleep mode until the display is activated by someone touching the device. If the liquid level falls below five percent, a siren sounds and an LED light illuminates until a technician de-activates the alarm and takes action. The FNTM is a great solution for automotive repair facilities that require more information than high or low level alarms deliver.

Features and Benefits of the FNTM Drum Gauge:

• Waterproof, self-contained housing that ensures no contamination happens.

• AA battery powered (and provided)

• Touch gauge sides to activate LEDs

• Low battery alert

• 2-plus year battery life

• Simple Installation

The features of the POPD Nozzle Guard are as follows:

• Allows for additional advertising during point of fuel purchasing.

• Unique angled design does not affect readability when hanging or while fueling.

• The clear cover with UV stabilizers protects the advertisement, making it last longer.

New BJE Kaltey Commander Tank Controller Keeps the Heat On

The engineers of Husky Corporation and BJE know that saving time and recycling will also mean saving money. With the use of waste oil burners and tank controller monitoring systems, businesses have an excellent way to recycle waste oil. Waste oil furnaces reduce energy costs and eliminate expenses for shipping and proper disposal of used oil. Many industries, including service and fueling industries, rely on waste oil burners to heat their facilities, generate hot water, provide electricity and help the environment.

The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) established rules that allow burning used oils for energy recovery. The regulations indicate that if the oil is acceptable, the emission will be acceptable. Meanwhile, each state has its own set of regulations on waste oil disposal. But waste oil burning can actually be considered to be a “new energy” source if the conversion takes place using an environmentally sound furnace. While this is efficient and environmentally friendly technology, it can take valuable time to monitor waste oil levels and refill furnaces as needed. 

The Kaltey Commander Tank Controller brings together technologies to eliminate manually monitoring and refilling day tanks that supply waste oil heaters with fuel. BJE engineers designed a float switch mechanism that alerts a control device when the day tank level is low. The design features visual and audible alarms to warn of potential problems and includes the ability to test the system for proper continuous operation. This saves valuable time for the business and frees up the crew to perform more important tasks.

Husky Releases Low Permeation Hose

Husky Corporation now offers EagleFlex Low Permeation Hardwall Gasoline Pump Hose, which reduces the diffusion of fuel through the hose wall. A number of states now require gasoline dispensing facilities to install low permeation hose along with the rest of its fueling products as an added measure to control air pollution. 

Low permeation hoses, like the EagleFlex Hardwall, meet UL 330 requirements. The standard considers permeation to mean fuel that would be lost through the flexible hose, fuel loss at the fittings, and fuel loss at the connection between the hose assembly and the dispensing equipment. To be designated as low permeation, gasoline would diffuse at a rate no more than 10 grams per square meter per day.

The hose tube is made with black nitrile. The cover consists of Chlorinated Polyethylene, reinforced with multiple textile braids with dual static wire helix. It can withstand temperatures -40F to +180F and is recommended for all gasohol blends, diesel, leaded, unleaded gasoline, E15 Ethanol and B-20 Biodiesel where low permeation is required. The EagleFlex low permeation hose is available in three diameters (.625 in, .75 in, and 1 in), designed for durability and flexibility. 

It is possible that even more states will consider mandating low permeation fuel hose as an additional step to control air pollution. That is why Husky continues to grow its reputation as an innovator that readily adapts to an evolving industry.

The Future of the DEF Market Grows

 

Urea-based DEF is gaining popularity as fleets with diesel engines are updated to meet the EPA’s mandate for cleaner air. The market for DEF and DEF products will continue to grow in the years to come, with some estimating DEF consumption will more than triple before the end of the decade. Husky Corporation will be on top of it all by providing the best, innovative, and high-quality products to all of its customers. “With DEF use expected to significantly increase in the coming years, Husky is well positioned to serve this growing market.” said Brad Baker, Executive Vice President at Husky Corporation.
