AdBlue storage solutions from Kingspan
Fuel storage and monitoring systems supplier Kingspan, which has been operating in the transport sector for more than 40 years, also offers a storage and monitoring solutions range for AdBlue.
“We are acutely aware of the current, mounting pressures on UK hauliers, particularly from spiralling fuel and energy costs,” said the company – adding that it can provide expertise and support to help ease the existing burden and help fleets remain aligned with government policies around transport decarbonisation.
“We have a suite of industry-leading products that are providing hauliers and fleet operators with smart, cost-efficient solutions for managing, protecting, and dispensing your on-site supplies of diesel and AdBlue,” said Kingspan.
“We also have a technical team who are here to advise you.”
Cited benefits of the range include increased efficiencies, improved security, higher profitability and more sustainable operations.
Buying and storing AdBlue in bulk has significant advantages for everyone in the supply chain, from distributors through to hauliers, says Kingspan.
“It’s not only more cost-effective, it’s also a great time saver,” the company continued.
“But AdBlue is very susceptible to contamination and long-term storage can put supplies at risk of contamination – which renders it unusable.
“Kingspan’s BlueMaster Pro combines the security and protection afforded by double-skinned (bunded) tanks with the support of best-in-class fleet management systems. Plus, its innovative, closed fluid path guarantees both AdBlue purity, as well as high and lasting levels of asset protection.
“Simply put, BlueMaster Pro offers hauliers one of the safest and most environmentally responsible AdBlue storage solutions on the market.
“Furthermore, it provides owners with complete control over the distribution and storage of their AdBlue stocks. BlueMaster Pro is supplied factory-fitted with Watchman Access technology. This is a comprehensive fuel management system provides complete visibility of, and control over, AdBlue supplies.”
The system will not only record the amount of AdBlue dispensed into each and every one of an unlimited number of users/vehicles, says Kingspan; it also provides real-time updates about current stock levels in one tank, or across a network of tanks and different locations.
In addition, individual users can be provided with unique RFID swipe cards and/or key fobs, limiting access and increasing security and protection over the AdBlue supplies.
The company also highlights the need for all transport operators to comply with minimum legal standards for on-site storage and dispensing of diesel. Its solutions not only meet those standards, it says, but also come with lengthy guarantees for long-term security and confidence.
“They also go well beyond this thanks to their in-built monitoring systems that give you visibility and control over your supplies, as well as real-time protection for this valuable asset,” said the firm.
“Kingspan’s FuelMaster double-skinned storage and dispensing tanks provide safe storage of diesel for fleets of all sizes, even where space or access is limited.
“Our robust FuelMaster tanks are manufactured to a high specification and meet all UK regulatory standards for on-site fuel storage. Made from tough rotationally-moulded plastic, the tanks are bunded and come with a Spillstop device to prevent overfilling and spills.
“All models in the FuelMaster range (from 1,200 – 9,000 litres) are fitted with a 10-micron particle and water filter, plus a dispensing 72lpm pump for rapid refuelling.
“FuelMasters also come equipped with local and/or remote fuel monitoring systems, ensuring that your diesel stocks can be carefully monitored, around-the-clock, either locally or remotely. The system provides you with information on usage patterns and stock levels for better procurement planning.”
With diesel already an attractive target for thieves, says the company, this threat is only likely to get worse as prices continue to rise.
“Our fuel tank monitoring technology provides early alerts/alarms should levels suddenly or unexpectedly drop, either due to leakage or possibly theft.
“Finally, our advanced tank monitoring technology allows haulage and logistics operators to comply with, keep track of, and easily report on, legally binding regulatory standards, releasing more time for you to spend on your business.”
All Kingspan FuelMaster and BlueMaster Pro tanks are backed by the company’s technical expertise and customer support, and come with a 10-year tank guarantee.
The firm also highlights its commitment to a sustainability and environmental programme which it says will transform its business over the next decade.
“Our Planet Passionate initiative is a 10-year, group-wide, global sustainability strategy which aims to impact on three big global issues: climate change, circularity as well as protection of our natural world,” said Kingspan.
“We have set very ambitious targets right across the company, from current product development and research, through our business operations and into the wider community, and report annually on our progress.
“It’s been two years since the initiative was launched and the transformation is well under way.”
