Conference can help prepare for DEF
May 1, 2009 12:00 PM
The Petroleum Equipment Institute (PEI), the trade association for petroleum marketing and liquid handling, and NATSO, which represents travel plazas and truckstops, will bring fuel retailers and the petroleum equipment industry together for a one-day workshop to prepare for the launch of diesel exhaust fluid (DEF). This conference will be held June 4-5, 2009, at the Gaylord Opryland Hotel in Nashville TN.
Beginning in January 2010, diesel exhaust fluid will be required for the exhaust systems on most new diesel trucks, which will use selective catalytic reduction as an emissions control technology. DEF is urea-based mixture specially formulated for use in the new emissions systems.
The DEF conference will begin with a reception June 4, followed by a workshop June 5. Sessions will focus on how DEF will be handled, stored, dispensed, and marketed, and a session will focus on the DEF rollout in Europe three years ago.
Registration for the one-day program is $149 for NATSO and PEI members and $349 for non-members. A limited number of tabletop exhibits are available for $750.
