Fuel Management Systems

What Is A Fuel Management System?

A Fuel Management System is a combination of hardware and software products, that together enable security, access, and control of fluid stores (most commonly fuels), whilst monitoring delivery and consumption.

(What is a fuel management system?)

Banlaw fuel management systems are for companies that need increased accuracy, accountability, security or productivity from their fuels, lubricants, and other expensive fluids. It is normal for our fuel management customers to achieve fluid reconciliation rates in excess of 99.5%.

Our fuel management systems consist of hardware, controllers, and software, which are sold under the Banlaw SecureFillTM and Banlaw ResTrackTM trademarks.

Banlaw’s specialty, is diesel fuel management services for mine sites and railways. Other Banlaw customer industries include vehicle fleets/haulage, construction, ports, and non-hydrocarbon applications such as chemical supply and liquid food production. Our systems are feature-rich and incorporate the most secure and accurate technologies for vehicle Auto ID, and fluid measurement.

Delivery

For both supplier and client, the benefits of a Banlaw fuel management system relate to open and transparent data disclosure. There is surety at consignment; you know that the product received accurately matches delivery dockets.
Key Functions:

  • Identifies inwards transactions (Manual or Auto ID)
  • Actuates ball valves to allow authorised deliveries
  • Enables unloading pumps
  • Receives temperature and flow inputs
  • Calculates temperature-compensated measurements
  • Stores accurate transaction data
  • Captures manifest details, such as volume delivered and docket number

Storage

Banlaw fuel management systems are suitable for both fixed fuel farms, and mobile storages (service trucks). Our solutions deliver tank overfill prevention, tank level monitoring, fluid loss control, and fuel-stock condition management.
Key Functions:

  • Real time tank level measurement and recording
  • Bulk water detection
  • Tank side display for operators
  • Bulk storage overfill protection (including SIL rated solutions)
  • Automated stock rotation & MCC/PLC controls
  • Tracking and management of fluid moves between bulk storages
  • Tank side (local) ‘high’ or ‘low’ level alarms
  • Software alarms

Dispensing

On the dispense side, Banlaw fuel management systems excel in the areas of fuelling efficiency, and fuel security (No ID, No Fuel = reduced fuel theft). We track consumption of fuels and service fluids to every asset in your fleet. Seamless processes and automatic reporting also reduce the burden of administering contractors, or other 3rd parties that access fluids on your sites.

Key Functions:

  • Captures Auto ID inputs from wired or wireless hardware
    • Banlaw are the only manufacturer of Auto ID technology integrated within Dry Break Refuelling hardware. External ID technologies are more prone to damage and failure
  • Auto ID receivers and Vehicle Tags assign a unique security ID chip to each piece of plant equipment
  • Identifies machines and operators by Pin / Swipe / Fob (Employee ID cards supported)
  • Captures machine mileage or machine hours (keypad or wireless solutions)
  • Controls pumps automatically
  • Actuates ball valves automatically
  • Manages numerous fuels and fluids from a single FuelTrack Controller (of particular importance on mobile service vehicles)
  • Captures accurate and temperature-corrected flow data

Product Family

Hardware

Banlaw has built much of its reputation by producing highly reliable dry break couplings for diesel refuelling. These products were built for miners, and are generally accepted to be the world’s toughest and safest dry break refuelling hardware. Banlaw fuel management solutions can be deployed with our unique Auto ID refuelling hardware. The Dry Break Auto ID products enable diesel refuelling at up to 1000lpm (264gpm). The Splash Fill Auto ID solution supports diesel, gasoline, and ULP fluid types. A range of other automatic and manual identification options (such as Long Range RFID) are also available to authenticate people and machines, helping to mitigate fuel theft.

Banlaw anti fuel theft devices for trucks and cars. RFID fuel management system devices that minimise employee fuel theft and enable an automated fuel pump security system. Banlaw provides industry-best fuel security, period.

Controllers

Banlaw ResTrackTM Controllers are at the heart of the fuel management system. These units are deployed on-site in the vicinity of bulk storages, fuel pumps, and dispensing points. The Controllers manage all local fluid access and security, as well as accurately capturing data such as tank levels, fuel dispensed into equipment, fluid moves between storages, and more. Banlaw sells specific Controller versions with advanced functionality to support mobile refuelling applications (service trucks), automated stock rotation, and the integration of electronic safety systems (SIS/SIL).

Software

The Banlaw ResTrackTM Resource Management Software (RMS) is an enterprise software solution for measuring, managing, securing and reporting upon industrial fluids. The RMS can be installed on a corporate network, or as a vendor-managed online fuel management system. ResTrack provides secure anytime, anywhere, any device access to the fuel management system from devices that have a web browser. Banlaw ResTrackTM is an Australian Tax Office (ATO) compliant means of Fuel Tax Credit reconciliation.
