The Petroleum Equipment Institute (PEI), the trade association for petroleum-marketing and liquid-handling, and NATSO, which represents travel plazas and truckstops, have added several industry experts to present at the Diesel Exhaust Fluid Conference on June 5.
It is just a matter of months before trucks with 2010 engines will be hitting the road. Unlike their predecessors, most exhaust systems on new trucks will use selective catalytic reduction to meet emissions standards and require Diesel Exhaust Fluid (DEF) to operate. Chemical manufacturers, truckstop operators, fleets and equipment suppliers will come together for the one-day, intensive workshop at the Gaylord Opryland Resort Hotel and Convention Center in Nashville, Tenn.
Session topics include DEF quality concerns, label requirements, storage and dispensing requirements, DEF locator services, fire codes and more.
DEF manufacturers John Lounsbury of Terra Environmental Technologies and Jim Spooner of Colonial Chemical will provide a crash course in DEF basics, including its product characteristics, how it is produced and distributed, when it will be available and anticipated volumes.
David Siler of Detroit Diesel (Daimler), and Rich Moskowitz of the American Trucking Associations will provide an outlook for the year ahead, sharing their insights on who is going the DEF route and who isn't.
Before DEF can make its way to trucks, it has to be available at the truckstop. The conference will offer recommendations on how retailers can ramp-up DEF at existing truckstops and integrate it on the fuel island at new truckstops. The session will also cover payment systems, equipment costs, and financing and lease options for DEF equipment.
Europeans have been using DEF for three years, and those in the U.S. can learn from their experience. Richard Browne of Gilbarco Veeder-Root and Rolf Isberg of Yara Industrial North America will lead a session highlighting lessons learned from the equipment and infrastructure rollout in Europe.
The line-up of speakers also includes: Cliff Dean, Office of Transportation and Air Quality, EPA; Mark Barolo, Environmental Protection Agency; Kevin Ferrick, API; Bob Benedetti, National Fire Protection Association; Don Onwiler, National Conference on Weights and Measures; Dave Polak, EZ Fuel; Steve Childers, SPATCO; Kim Doran of Quixote Group and the North American SCR Stakeholders Group; and Chuck Mattina of Quixote Group.
