Ammonia Storage and Delivery System (ASDS)
Published On: 19th July, 2018
Faurecia introduced the Ammonia Storage and Delivery System (ASDSTM) reduction technology for nitrogen oxide (NOx) two years ago as a superior alternative to liquid urea AdBlue® in terms of NOx conversion efficiency at low temperatures. It uses ammonia stored as a salt in solid form called AdAmmine converted to gas after the engine has started. When routed to the exhaust line, it converts NOx into non-polluting nitrogen and water, treating emissions within a few minutes after the engine starts and at low exhaust temperatures that reflect typical city driving conditions.
