As-a-result of ever more stringent emissions regulations, another wet stock product - the Diesel Exhaust Fluid (DEF) additive – more commonly known as AdBlue - has become a standard requirement for commercial vehicle depot fuelling facilities.
“From initial installations, involving a separate storage and dispensing package, we are now seeing leading fleet operators wishing to access AdBlue adjacent to the diesel/gas oil fuelling points,” says sales director, Stephen Hannan.
Merridale has introduced the MX-P DEF for higher volume throughput installations. Designed to be visually compatible with other systems from the Merridale MX range, the unit can be located either on an island forecourt layout, or as part of a self-contained multi-product tank package. Since the design is a common element within the MX range, the MX-P DEF unit can also be configured within a twin cabinet, coupled with either diesel or gas-oil fuel pumps for simultaneous operation.
For ‘pump’ applications, the unit delivers the product at approximately 35 LPM with an accuracy of +/-0.5%. Merridale can also supply dispenser versions for installations where the product is pushed out from the storage tank, under pressure from a remote or submersible pump. All Merridale units are supplied with integral filters, specialist delivery hoses and stainless-steel automatic cut off nozzles as standard.
The fully stainless-steel construction with features such as an illuminated display of the delivery values and a totaliser function, make the Merridale unit a market leader for specification. Another distinguishing feature is the ability to interface the unit with a separate Merridale fuel management system. Alternatively, the unit can also be supplied with a built in Merridale fuel management system, where the need dictates.
Since 2018, JPB have been using Merridale’s MX-I to refuel, monitor and keep track of their extensive fuel use and large fleet of vehicles, having previously used only receipts and hand-written accounts of transactions to stay up-to-date. Built to be the complete solution in commercial fuelling and designed to meet strict ATEX standards, the MX-I […]
Having an unusual problem of one of the locations being highly remote and without power meant that this job was slightly different to Merridale’s standard installations but none-the-less, they were able to find the solution quickly and provide a temporary self-sufficient system. Marcus, who leads operations for the internet provider said “We needed a temporary […]
With Merridale’s own range now available, as well as still supplying Gilbarco with fuel management units, the marketplace had the choice of buying either a complete Merridale built package or a Gilbarco built version of the same management system. However, over the decades that followed, Merridale enhanced its product range by introducing true twin units, […]
