UM5 Series · DEF Day Tanks & Refill

DEF at the engine.
Stored, refilled, delivered.

The UM5 family keeps DEF ready for generator SCR right where it's needed — cubic day tanks in the genset room, plus auto-refill units that top up engine reservoirs and Caterpillar buffer tanks from bulk storage.

UM5-DTP

Day Tank · HDPE
25-100 GAL (100 - 400L)

The same cubic DEF day tank in corrosion-proof HDPE plastic — a lightweight, cost-saving alternative to stainless for generator SCR storage. Space-saving in enclosures and generator rooms, and customizable with the same instrumentation, heaters, and pumps as the stainless UM5-DTS.

Power 120-230 VAC, 1 Phase
Controller UL 508, PLC Basis with HMI
Best for Lightweight, cost-saving DEF storage

UM5-DTS

Day Tank · Stainless
25-100 GAL (100 - 400L)

A cubic stainless-steel DEF day tank that provides safe storage for generator SCR emissions control. The space-saving cubic design fits crowded generator rooms and enclosures, and can be customized with instrumentation, heaters, and pumps in single-wall, double-wall, or double-wall insulated construction.

Power 120-230 VAC, 1 Phase
Controller UL 508, PLC Basis with HMI

UM5-BTI

Cat Buffer Tank Interface
1–5 GPM

A refill interface engineered for Caterpillar SCR DEF buffer tanks, delivering the low-pressure feed they require from remote bulk storage and pumps. A pressure-regulating valve and pump-request signaling maintain the buffer tank automatically, installed right beside the engine.

Power 120-230 VAC, 1 Phase
Controller UL 508, PLC Basis with HMI

UM5-RAR

Reservoir Auto-Refill
1–5 GPM

A refill module that automatically maintains DEF level in an engine's on-board reservoir, drawing from UM5 day tanks or remote bulk storage and pumps. Installed right beside the reservoir, it monitors level and refills on demand for uninterrupted SCR operation.

Power 120-230 VAC, 1 Phase
Controller UL 508, PLC Basis with HMI

Shared technology

The same engineering in every module.

01

Cubic, space-saving design

The cubic day-tank form fits crowded generator rooms and enclosures, and the refill modules mount compactly right beside the engine.

02

Built for generator SCR

Designed specifically for generator SCR systems — safe DEF storage and delivery to keep emissions controls supplied on demand.

03

Corrosion-proof materials

Tanks in 304 stainless steel or cost-saving, lightweight HDPE, in single-wall, double-wall, or double-wall insulated construction.

04

Controls & BMS integration

UL 508 PLC controls with HMI communicate tank status to BAS, generator controls, switchgear, security, and fire-alarm systems.

Built for DEF at the engine

From the genset room to the reservoir.

01

Day storage in the genset room

Cubic UM5-DT tanks store 25–100 gallons of DEF in stainless or HDPE, saving space in crowded enclosures and rooms.

02

Auto-refill engine reservoirs

The UM5-RAR mounts beside the engine reservoir and automatically maintains its DEF level from day tanks or bulk storage.

03

Caterpillar buffer-tank feed

The UM5-BTI delivers the low-pressure feed Caterpillar SCR buffer tanks require, refilling them from remote bulk storage.

04

Adaptable for special operation

Dual inlet valves, monitored valve positions, overflow pumping, emergency evacuation, fluid metering, and high-temp control.
