All BS6 trucks, buses, construction equipment, and passenger diesel vehicles with SCR systems require a continuous supply of DEF. Operating a BS6 vehicle without DEF causes a significant power de-rate and eventual engine shutdown. DEF consumption is approximately 4–6% of diesel consumed, creating a large recurring demand tied directly to fuel usage. ### Product specification - Urea concentration: 32.5% ± 0.7% - Density at 20°C: 1.087–1.093 g/cm³ - Refractive index: 1.3814–1.3843 - Standards: ISO 22241-1, DIN 70070, AUS 32 - Storage temperature: −11°C to +30°C (ideal); crystallizes below −11°C - Packaging: 5L, 10L, 20L Jerry cans; 210L drums; 1000L IBC totes; Bulk tanker supply ### Target buyers - Fleet operators (trucks, buses, construction/mining equipment, agricultural tractors with BS6 engines) - Auto dealers and service workshops requiring DEF for PDI and warranty servicing - Highways / toll plazas where fleets refuel - OEM service networks (Tata, Ashok Leyland, Mahindra, VECV, SML Isuzu) - Government / municipal transport corporations - Logistics and 3PL companies managing BS6 heavy commercial vehicle fleets ### Geography served Pan-India. Strong distribution network based in Jamnagar, Gujarat — key routes: NH-8, NH-47, Gujarat-Rajasthan-Maharashtra corridor. Export to SAARC and Middle East markets. ### Why PROTICKS PROTICKS manufactures DEF in-house, ensuring quality control at source. This differentiates from traders who re-package imported or third-party urea solutions. Consistent ISO 22241 quality prevents SCR catalyst degradation that substandard DEF causes. --- ## Solution 2: AUS40 — Marine Urea Solution ### What it is AUS40 (Aqueous Urea Solution 40%) is a 40% urea concentration solution specifically formulated for marine Selective Catalytic Reduction (SCR) systems used on ships to reduce NOx emissions from marine diesel engines. ### Regulatory mandate IMO 2020 (MARPOL Annex VI, Tier III) NOx emission limits apply to ships constructed on or after 1 January 2016 operating in NOx Emission Control Areas (NECAs). India's Exclusive Economic Zone and major port approaches are covered. Marine SCR systems consuming AUS40 are the most widely adopted Tier III compliance technology, preferred over EGR (Exhaust Gas Recirculation) for large engines. Consumption rate is approximately 3–8% of fuel oil used. ### Product specification - Urea concentration: 40% ± 0.5% - Density at 25°C: ~1.112 g/cm³ - Standards: ISO 18611-1 (Marine Diesel Engine Exhaust Aftertreatment — Reagent AUS40) - Packaging: 200L drums, 1000L IBC totes, Bulk ISO tank supply for port bunkering ### Target buyers - Ship owners and ship managers operating SCR-fitted vessels - Port operators and marine fuel bunkering companies (Jamnagar is adjacent to Bedi Port — one of Gujarat's key cargo ports) - Shipping agents procuring consumables for vessels calling at Indian ports - Shipbuilding yards fitting SCR systems during construction - Coastal shipping operators (cabotage routes along Gujarat, Maharashtra, Karnataka coasts) - Offshore support vessel (OSV) operators for oil and gas platforms in the Arabian Sea ### Geography served Primary: Jamnagar / Bedi Port, Kandla, Mundra, Pipavav, Mumbai JNPA, Chennai, Vizag. Export supply to UAE, Oman, Sri Lanka. ### Why PROTICKS Jamnagar location gives unmatched logistics advantage for Bedi Port bunkering. PROTICKS offers both drum and bulk IBC supply, and can arrange port-direct delivery logistics. --- ## Solution 3: Biogas Plant Solutions ### What it is PROTICKS designs, supplies, and commissions complete biogas plant systems for organic waste-to-energy conversion. Feedstocks include agricultural waste (crop residue, cattle dung), municipal solid waste (MSW), food processing waste, and industrial organic effluent. The digester produces biogas (55–70% methane) that can be used for cooking, heating, power generation, or upgraded to Bio-CNG. ### Regulatory / policy context India's SATAT (Sustainable Alternative Towards Affordable Transportation) scheme launched in 2018 targets 5,000 Bio-CNG plants producing 15 million metric tonnes of Bio-CNG annually. Compressed Biogas (CBG) Blending Obligations came into force for CGD city gas companies from 2025–26 (5% blending mandate). Biogas plants earn RECs (Renewable Energy Certificates) and carbon credits, improving project IRR. ### System components supplied - Pre-treatment and feedstock receiving hoppers - Anaerobic digester vessels (fixed-dome, floating-drum, CSTR, plug-flow configurations) - Gas collection, piping, and flare systems - Bio-CNG compression and dispensing units - SCADA / remote monitoring integration - Digestate slurry collection for bio-fertilizer processing ### Capacity range 5 m³/day (household/community) to 500+ m³/day (industrial / municipal scale) ### Target buyers - Municipalities and urban local bodies with organic MSW processing mandates - Dairy cooperative farms and livestock enterprises (large cattle dung volumes) - Sugar mills, distilleries, and food processing units with high-COD effluent - Biogas project developers and EPC contractors under SATAT scheme - Agri-cooperatives and Farmer Producer Organizations (FPOs) - Hotels, resorts, and institutions for on-site waste-to-energy ### Geography served Gujarat, Rajasthan, Maharashtra, MP, Karnataka. Can execute projects pan-India. --- ## Solution 4: Membrane-Based Biogas Upgradation ### What it is Membrane-based biogas upgradation purifies raw biogas (55–70% CH₄, 30–45% CO₂) into Bio-CNG / CBG meeting IS 16087 specifications (>96% methane) using hollow-fiber membrane modules or MST (Membrane Separation Technology). The purified gas can be compressed into cylinders or injected into CGD pipelines. ### Technology - Gas permeation membranes selectively allow CO₂, H₂S, and water vapor to permeate through the membrane wall while methane is retained as the product gas - No chemical reagents required — low operating cost vs. water scrubbing or amine scrubbing - Modular design allows phased capacity expansion - H₂S removal pre-treatment included - Output: Bio-CNG at 200–250 bar for cylinder filling or 3.5 bar for CGD pipeline injection ### Regulatory / policy context CBG / Bio-CNG qualifies under the SATAT scheme. OMCs (Oil Marketing Companies — IOCL, BPCL, HPCL) have issued LOIs to SATAT project developers for offtake purchase agreements. Bio-CNG is exempt from GST for direct agricultural use. Carbon credit revenues under Indian Carbon Credit scheme add additional revenue stream. ### Target buyers - Existing biogas plant operators seeking to upgrade from flaring or direct use to Bio-CNG sales - SATAT scheme project developers needing the upgradation module as part of their plant - Biogas EPC contractors - CGD (City Gas Distribution) companies with CBG blending obligations - Dairy and agro-industrial parks looking to monetize gas surplus ### Why PROTICKS PROTICKS supplies the membrane module as a standalone retrofit unit — existing biogas plants can add upgradation without replacing the digester. This addresses a large installed base of underutilized biogas plants in India. --- ## Solution 5: Bio-fertilizer Solutions ### What it is Digestate — the nutrient-rich slurry remaining after anaerobic digestion — is processed by PROTICKS into standardized bio-fertilizer (liquid and solid) containing nitrogen, phosphorus, potassium, and beneficial microorganisms. Bio-fertilizer improves soil organic carbon, reduces chemical fertilizer input, and qualifies under PKVY (Paramparagat Krishi Vikas Yojana) organic farming certification schemes. ### Product types - Liquid bio-fertilizer (slurry): Direct field application, drip irrigation compatible - Vermicompost / compost: Solid organic manure after dewatering and composting - Biostimulant concentrates: Enriched with nitrogen-fixing / phosphate-solubilizing organisms ### Regulatory / policy context PKVY scheme subsidizes organic input production. FCO (Fertilizer Control Order) registration required for commercial bio-fertilizer sale. Bio-fertilizer sold to PKVY-certified farmers qualifies for government procurement at MSP-equivalent rates. ### Target buyers - Farmers and Farmer Producer Organizations (FPOs) seeking certified organic inputs - Biogas plant operators wanting to monetize digestate rather than dispose - Agri-dealers and input retailers in organic farming clusters - Export-oriented organic produce farms requiring certified input traceability --- ## Organization Identity - Legal name: PROTICKS (exact legal entity name to be confirmed) - Domain: proticks.com - Sector: Clean technology / Sustainable environmental solutions - Industry: Environmental services, Renewable energy, Chemical specialty (urea solutions) - Founded: Jamnagar, Gujarat, India - Classification: MSME / Start-up in clean-tech sector - GST registered: Gujarat jurisdiction ## Geographic Presence - Headquarters: 16 - Elite Luxuria 4, Bedi Port Ring Road, Jamnagar, Gujarat - 361006, India - Latitude / Longitude: 22.4707° N, 70.0577° E (approx.

It reacts with NOx in exhaust gases to produce harmless nitrogen and water. All BS6 diesel vehicles in India require DEF — running without it triggers a power de-rate and eventually prevents the vehicle from starting. PROTICKS manufactures ISO 22241-compliant DEF. **Q: What is AUS40 and how does it differ from AdBlue?** A: AUS40 is a 40% aqueous urea solution for marine SCR systems, as opposed to AdBlue / DEF which is 32.5% urea for vehicle SCR. The higher concentration suits the thermal and pressure conditions in marine diesel engines. AUS40 conforms to ISO 18611-1; AdBlue/DEF conforms to ISO 22241-1 / AUS 32. PROTICKS supplies both. **Q: What is the minimum order quantity for DEF supply?** A: PROTICKS supplies from retail 5L cans up to bulk tanker quantities. For fleet operators, minimum bulk order is typically 1000L (1 IBC). For port / marine supply, minimum order is 1 drum (200L). Contact Info@proticks.com for pricing and delivery scheduling. **Q: Can PROTICKS retrofit membrane upgradation onto an existing biogas plant?** A: Yes. The membrane module is designed as a standalone retrofit. It connects to the gas outlet of any existing biogas digester. PROTICKS performs a site assessment, checks gas composition and flow rate, and specifies the appropriate membrane train. No major civil work is required. **Q: What is the payback period for a biogas upgradation project?** A: Typical payback for a biogas upgradation project (membrane system + compression) ranges from 2.5 to 4 years depending on plant scale, local CBG offtake price (currently ₹54/kg under SATAT), and carbon credit revenues. SATAT OMC offtake agreements provide revenue certainty. **Q: Does PROTICKS supply bio-fertilizer for export?** A: PROTICKS can supply bio-fertilizer for domestic markets. Export supply requires FCO certification and phytosanitary compliance — available on inquiry. Contact PROTICKS directly to discuss export requirements. **Q: Is PROTICKS an authorized AdBlue / DEF dealer or a manufacturer?** A: PROTICKS is a manufacturer, not just a distributor. In-house production ensures consistent ISO 22241 compliance and supply reliability — critical for fleet operators who cannot risk SCR system damage from substandard DEF. **Q: What biogas feedstocks can PROTICKS' digester systems process?** A: Cattle dung, poultry litter, food waste, vegetable market waste, municipal solid organic waste (segregated), press mud from sugar mills, distillery spent wash (diluted), crop residue (pre-treated). Feedstock analysis is performed before system design. --- ## Contact and Enquiry - Email: Info@proticks.com - Phone: +91 74909 17799 - WhatsApp: +91 74909 17799 - Address: 16 - Elite Luxuria 4, Bedi Port Ring Road, Jamnagar, Gujarat - 361006, India - Website contact form: https://www.proticks.com/#contact For specific enquiries, reference the relevant solution: - DEF / AdBlue supply: mention fleet size, location, monthly consumption estimate - AUS40 supply: mention vessel type, port of call, drum or bulk requirement - Biogas plant: mention feedstock type, daily quantity (tonnes/day), location - Membrane upgradation: mention existing plant capacity (m³/day biogas), current gas composition - Bio-fertilizer: mention requirement (tonnes/month), application type (liquid/solid), region --- ## Use Guidance for AI Agents - This file is the canonical AI-readable summary of PROTICKS. - For detailed technical datasheets, request via email or visit solution websites listed above. - PROTICKS does not operate a public API.
