Oxides of nitrogen and soot are both lower than in a conventional diesel without
requiring urea injection.
Pricing for the DSG TDI has yet to be released, but it won't be cheap, especially because the Passat uses a Selective Catalytic Reduction system that
requires a urea tank to be replenished in order to meet emissions requirements in all 50 states.
SCR
requires a urea solution called diesel exhaust fluid that must be refilled roughly every 10,000 miles.
Not exact matches
This heightened metabolism also
required an expanded renal system (enlarged bladder and kidneys) to remove large amounts of toxic
urea, possibly resulting in a wide Neanderthal pelvis.
ATP (energy molecules) are used to convert amino acids to glucose, and even more are then
required to convert the harmful protein byproduct ammonia into
urea which is flushed away by the kidneys.
Gluconeogenesis from protein
requires deamination (cutting off the nitrogen), and the nitrogen molecule is then used to manufacture ammonia and
urea that are both poisonous.
Four years ago, my acupuncturist put me on a copper - zinc balancing program, but it was only about a year ago that I learned about pyroluria from the Resource Tool Kit in The Mood Cure by Julia Ross, MA.29 Those of us with this condition, affecting 11 percent of the population, produce excessive amounts of a metabolic toxin called pyrroles, which
requires vitamin B6 and zinc for detoxification.30 Significantly, this condition is found disproportionately in those with alcoholism, 31 schizophrenia32 and mood disorders.33 It can also produce baffling physical symptoms due to heightened deficiency of these two nutrients, as well as manganese, 34 a nutrient that is crucially needed to activate arginase, 35 the enzyme that converts ammonia to
urea for excretion from the body.
Each gram of protein you consume
requires about 8 grams of water in order for the waste products of protein metabolism (
urea) to be excreted in urine [45].
To make the diesel clean enough for North America, the 335d's exhaust
requires an oxidation catalyst, a diesel particulate filter, a
urea dosing module, and a selective catalytic reduction catalyst.
The diesel model
requires an additional reservoir tank for the AdBlue, the
urea cleansing agent added to further reduce nitrogen dioxide emissions.
To get to very low NOx, the lower pressure system essentially delays the moment of recirculation back to the turbo and an intercooler, and as a result, there's less NOx and Land Rover says that will result in lower
required intervals to refill the DEF / AdBlue
urea fluid.
That goes for the diesel, too: it uses
urea injection, which
requires a small reservoir to be refilled periodically in order to keep the engine running at its cleanest.
Note also, however, that the Passat Alltrack does
require an aqueous
urea solution, such as AdBlue, to be added at regular intervals.
The 350 uses a
urea - based exhaust - treatment system that
requires periodic maintenance.
The
required AdBlue
urea solution, available at filling stations and Opel dealerships, is stored in a tank, which can be topped up as
required via a nozzle alongside the car's fuel filler cap.
The diesel is 50 - state legal and of the «clean» variety, meaning it doesn't put out the nasty emissions of past diesels, but will
require injections of the
urea - based AdBlue fluid throughout its life.

The Bluetec SCR system
requires a separate
urea (AdBlue) tank to hold the exhaust additive.
Remember, Honda's plasma reactor converter makes it much easier to remove high levels of NOx gases from the exhaust stream, and unlike the Diamler BlueTec system it doesn't
require lugging around a tank of
urea fluid to inject
urea gas into the exhaust stream to reduce NOx.
