For over two decades, Gilbarco Veeder-Root has been committed to working closely with its customers and industry associations to introduce environmentally friendly alternative fuels at the forecourt. Over the last few years, the use of environmentally friendly alternatives has grown significantly. To support this growth, Gilbarco Veeder-Root introduced its first AdBlue® dispenser four years ago.
One of the reasons for this growth can be attributed to the fact that vehicle manufacturers are coming under ever increasing pressure to meet stringent European emission targets and the Euro VI standards due to be introduced from September 2014. In order to meet these regulations, manufacturers are adopting Selective Catalytic Reduction (SCR) technology, which uses Diesel Exhaust Fluid (DEF) or AdBlue®.
So what is AdBlue®? In summary, AdBlue® is an additive that is used in the SCR process. It is particularly known for its ability to reduce harmful emissions and is injected into exhaust gases, cleaning them before they enter the atmosphere.
AdBlue® dispensing does pose some unique challenges however. Due to AdBlue® properties such as compatibility only with stainless steel and few grades of plastics, freezing at -11°C, and crystallisation on contact with air, even the most minor impurities can damage the expensive catalytic systems of vehicles.
Gilbarco Veeder-Root’s modular SK700-II AdBlue® pump range has been uniquely designed and field proven to meet the rigorous demands that AdBlue suppliers face when it comes to AdBlue® filling, whilst at the same time fitting seamlessly with the rest of the solutions and systems on your forecourt.
AdBlue® pumps are available in lane orientated single or double sided configuration, or in combination with other fuel grades, with different options for nozzle protection and heaters suited to different climatic conditions.
Gilbarco Veeder-Root’s dispensers and above-ground container range provide a plug and play solution, making it very easy for you to add AdBlue® refuelling facilities on your forecourt. In addition, Gilbarco Veeder-Root’s modular SK700-II AdBlue® range is also available in ATEX.

Fail safe
The pressure delivery system avoids crystallisation, the dispenser hydraulics are corrosion proof, while automatic heating and a smart door prevents freezing. The SK700-II AdBlue® ensures maximum uptime and damage free filling.
Proven
SK700-II AdBlue® installations have continuously performed in Finland at temperatures as low as -25°c, especially important as AdBlue® freezes at -11°c.
Versatile
SK700-II AdBlue® will fit seamlessly with the rest of the solutions and systems on your forecourt. Choose from Standalone, Combi or Integrated configuration and options to build the right AdBlue® filling solution for your forecourt. The ATEX version of AdBlue® is also available so you can combine with petrol and diesel grades.
Design matters
AdBlue® when not being regularly distributed and if in contact with oxygen can crystalise. The SK700-II AdBlue® incorporates a corrosion proof electromagnetic flow meter, which is highly advanced in the industry. It has no moving parts and no drifts to ensure it will not block and maximises uptime, while providing very accurate measurement, eliminating product loss.
