Fuel Tax Credits

In Australia, the mining sector is currently able to claim a 38 cents per litre of government fuel tax credit rebate for fuel consumed by heavy mining vehicles on their private roads. With our Fuel Management Systems you can reconcile and prove the allocation of onsite fuel usage by vehicle class (i.e. heavy vehicle vs light vehicle) to claim the maximum fuel tax credits you are entitled to. In the event of an audit, you will be able to provide an accurate account of your claimed consumption with no risk of a back charge.

Fuel Security

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.

Fuel Reconciliation

Banlaw’s fuel management system, provides precise monitoring, reconciliation and centralised reporting of your hydrocarbons across your fleet or group of fleets. Our customers, in more than 50 countries, achieve a fuel stock reconciliation record above 99.5% year after year. We also offer a complete specialised Diesel Meter Calibration System with air elimination to ensure you have total confidence and accuracy in your fuel management practices.

ERP Integration

Banlaw’s fuel management system easily integrates with any Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) software. Banlaw ResTrack™ interfaces through a file system as a CSV (flat) file. With over 20 standard fuel management reports, it is likely that Banlaw have already thought of every possible output your site might want. If not, speak to our dedicated system IT engineers who can provide a customised report.

Contamination Control

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 fuel pressures within engines to achieve a more complete combustion lead to closer tolerances, causing even smaller particles to have an effect on the life and performance of fuel system components. Modern ULSDs and biodiesels also pose an increased risk of water (moisture) retention and microbial contamination, which left undetected and untreated, 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 components.

Drive-Away Prevention Solutions

Drive-aways from fuel bays are unfortunately an all-too common occurrence, and can cause serious injury, spills, equipment damage and environmental impact. Not only that, it costs a small fortune to repair and creates unnecessary downtime. Is your site equipped to withstand this type of accident and save you thousands of dollars should damage occur? What can you do to make sure this doesn’t happen again on your site?

Fuel Theft – It’s Easy

We all know how expensive fuel can be. It’s one of the largest expenses for any business in mining, rail, fleet and port operations. With the quantities that your industry stores fuel, would anyone notice if a few hundred litres went missing? Probably not. But collectively it can be a very costly area to overlook.

Flow Meter Calibrations

You can’t manage, what you can’t accurately meter. Do you want to improve the accuracy of your dispensing metering to ensure you can claim your full entitlement of Fuel Tax Credits? Can you identify potential faults within your metering systems before they fail? Find out more about flow meter calibrations and how this simple process can immediately save you fuel and money, by giving you confidence that you’re receiving the fuel delivery volumes you’re paying for and allow for precise identification of fuel loss.
