Fuel is one of the largest expenses for any business in mining, rail, fleet and port operations. Fuel being stolen or unaccounted is costly to businesses. Fuel reconciliation system, Banlaw FuelTrack™ uses the latest in auto ID technology and can account for 99.5% of fuel stock. It provides precise monitoring, reconciliation and centralised reporting of any machine or vehicle’s fuel or liquid use. We have considered every area that can reduce fuel security and then developed, patented and produced products to eliminate that risk. The patented close-proximity auto ID will shut off the pump once the nozzle and receiver come apart. This, along with the ability to take advantage of site security systems such as Cardax, HID and Smart keys, make it very difficult for unauthorised pump use.

Modern engines and plant equipment are designed to offer increased efficiency, reduced emissions and longer service intervals. As a result, they are also more sensitive to fuel and oil contaminants. In particular, higher operating pressures within fuel systems to achieve a more complete combustion process leads to closer tolerances between moving parts, causing even smaller particles to have an effect on the clearances between these components. Modern ULSDs and biodiesels also pose an increased risk of microbial contamination, which left undetected, can seriously degrade the quality of the fuel and introduce other problems including reduced fuel filter life and accelerated corrosion of tanks, pipes and other metal system components.
Banlaw can help you save time and money on your mine site with safe, accurate and efficient refuelling and refilling. Banlaw provides integrated hydrocarbon management systems, products and expert advice to help mining companies to improve their productivity by reducing fuel loss reducing fuel contamination, as well as ensuring faster, safer refuelling. Fuel is typically the second largest expense on a mine site so you’ll quickly start to see the benefits from maximum tax credits, increased efficiency and reduced maintenance and downtime.
KPC-article-1
International Mining magazine visited the Kaltim Prima Coal mining complex in Indonesia in late 2015, to see how such a large operation manages its huge fleet of machines over an extensive area. Kaltim Prima Coal (KPC) is the world’s largest single producer and exporter of thermal coal, as well as largest single coal mining complex in Asia. ‘Back in 2008 the fuel accounting system at KPC was still highly manual, yet local teams were expected to manage inwards deliveries of some 3 million litres of diesel, which were arriving by barge every couple of days. This product was being hauled 16 km by tanker trucks and pipeline to the ROM storage area. From the ROM area, the diesel was used to fill haul trucks and large service trucks which would operate at refuelling locations within the pit. Pretty much everything was hand written, while contractors on the site also had to acquire the fuel they needed via a paper-based system. These factors caused significant difficulty in terms of reconciling around 1.6 million litres per day.
Fortescue Metals Group
Fortescue Metals Group (FMG) is the world’s fourth largest iron ore producer and is still growing. In FY 2014 FMG mined, railed and shipped 124 million tonnes of iron ore. Fortescue examined several fuel management systems before selecting Banlaw to implement its Enterprise Fuel Management System.
