Road

Banlaw’s extensive knowledge of high speed refuelling and hydrocarbon management can be applied to any heavy industry including fleets of road vehicles – buses, haulage etc. Our Unified Fuel Management approach offers solutions to save you time, money and fuel.

Ports

Banlaw provides integrated hydrocarbon management systems, products and expert advice to help port companies to improve their productivity by reducing fuel loss, reducing fuel contamination, as well as ensuring faster, safer, more accurate refuelling.

Rail

Banlaw provides high performing, innovative equipment and fuel management solutions. We help rail companies improve their productivity by reducing fuel loss, reducing fuel contamination and delivering more efficient and safer refuelling. Our heritage is in fuel management but our expertise has extended to hydrocarbons in general and management of other liquids: we can provide you with software, hardware and services to optimise the storage, safe handling and use of fuels, oils, coolants, grease and more.

Mining

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.

Community & Environment

Banlaw is a respected corporate citizen and lends its support to a number of community based organisations and initiatives which assist in improving the quality of life for the community.

Innovation in Industrial Fluid Management

More often than not; the creation of innovative technologies does not come from ‘flashes of insight’. Innovation is a process that occurs when talented people with the right blend of skills define challenges, generate solutions, and then plan and execute together to produce something new. New product development at Banlaw focuses around refuelling solutions, fluid transfer and fluid evacuation, pressureless refuelling, and fuel management. To keep moving forward, we commit to and invest in a roadmap for each of these product families. Perfect may not exist, but by working the plan, we keep punching away at technical barriers, delivering incremental improvements and brand-new capabilities.

Prevent fires on mine sites! Take ownership of maintenance

Due to a series of recent fires on mine sites, we’ve decided to focus this article specifically on the fire risk associated with using fuels and oils in an industrial setting. Banlaw team members spend well over 100,000 hours a year designing, building and maintaining dry break fuel systems, processes, and infrastructure. Our service teams spend the majority of their hours on site, auditing fleets and facilities, training operators, delivering preventative maintenance, or analysing the data that’s been captured on mine sites to find improvements. We’ve seen pretty much every conceivable way that a fire can be caused in a fuel facility or on mobile plant. Below is what we’ve learned about avoiding fires over the last 37 years.

When refuelling faster than Formula One is not enough – The world’s toughest and safest Dry Break Couplers

Here at Banlaw we believe in creating the fastest, cleanest and safest diesel refuelling nozzles and equipment. We’ve been at it for 40 years, and our high speed refuelling hardware range now includes nozzles, receivers, vents, diesel loading arms, holsters, swivels, break-away valves and more. Each component has been engineered with an optimised fluid path, along with contamination-prevention features.

Fuelling Rio’s Bauxite Expansion

The Amrun Project is to produce some 22.8mtpa of Bauxite for the local production of Aluminium, as well as direct export to markets north of Australia. US$1.9b is being spent to expand production from one of the world’s premier Bauxite deposits, which has the potential for expansion to around 50mtpa. Banlaw’s involvement is the design, engineering, and supply of two fuel facilities.

Tank Overfill Prevention – Are your tanks spill free?

Are your generators, vehicles, plant equipment or stationary tanks overfilling? There are numerous ways to manage the risk of tank overfill, and in this blog article, we’ll lay out some of the most common, along with the pros and cons of each. Your first question is probably ‘Why should I care?’, and you’d be asking the right question. It all comes down to risk; what is going to happen in each specific situation if an overfill occurs? Does your current risk management program consider the variables of each application, specifically those variables which may determine a hazard? The ALARP principal is often used in the regulation or safety-critical systems, and requires that residual risk is reduced “as low as reasonably practicable”. If you overfill a small storage tank used for water, it may be that plants will get watered, and ‘people could get wet’. With liquid hydrocarbons, it’s often more of an issue. Soil and water become contaminated, tanks are ruptured, critical machines burn down, explosions occur; people can die.

How to minimise total cost of ownership – Maintenance and more

Here at Banlaw, we’re all about helping companies improve their productivity by reducing fluid loss, reducing fluid contamination, and delivering more efficient and safer resource management processes. With Banlaw products sold in 33 countries, we need a system for supporting customers that includes local knowledge, local language, and is flexible to a range of Maintenance Management Systems. It is critical to us that users of Banlaw hardware have access to the right product, knowledge, and skills to keep their equipment up and running.
