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.

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 (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.

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.

Our ResTrack RMS Software takes business-critical data and turns it into information. Track and monitor all fluid levels and movements to achieve factual reporting and a single version of the truth.

Fluid Asset Intelligence is an umbrella term that encompasses the data, metrics, control systems and processes that contribute towards consistent, replicable savings and performance improvements

The following is an excerpt from the Austmine webinar ‘Predictive Maintenance and Life of Asset’, which was aired to Australian Mining, Equipment, Technology, and Services organisations (METS) in August 2016. The presenter; João Silveirinha, is Banlaw’s Group Engineering & Development Manager. João’s background is innovation in engineering across a range of industries; more recently Energy, Oil & Gas, and Mining. On a day to day basis João is involved in planning around Functional Safety, Machine Safety and Explosive Atmospheres. His team leverage many of the key International Standards that form the guidelines for safe and innovative practices across numerous heavy industries. João is originally from Portugal, and is now based out of Newcastle in Australia.

Banlaw has spent three decades refining the functionality of the refuelling area. We understand the particular challenges you face with scale, speed and harsh environments. We also know how important it is to keep your staff and equipment safe whilst achieving optimum productivity. An example of fuel spills on a mine site causing safety hazards. Afterwards, with Banlaw equipment installed, the leak has been stopped and safety standards have been further improved with a Banlaw dry break nozzle.

Empowering industrial clients globally with fluid resource management solutions and smart, reliable, safe, affordable outcomes.

Capture and analyse usage and consumption for every fuel-consuming asset automatically.

Banlaw is delighted to announce that caps will now be delivered as standard with all refuelling nozzles and receivers. Banlaw’s Flush-Face range of receivers will also be supplied with aluminium caps as standard. Optional nozzle caps are available upon request. Banlaw is committed to reducing contamination. In our October 2014 Newsletter we discussed that fuel and fluid contamination accounts for between 60% and 70% of break-downs. Again in June 2015 we showed the amount of contaminants which often accumulate inside critical machines. Controlling fluid cleanliness with filtered vents, dry-break couplings and heavy duty caps has been shown to dramatically reduce dirt ingress.

The future has always belonged to those who see possibilities where others see nothing.
