Locomotive and Filling Station Dry Break Refuelling Solutions

Using Nozzle Anchors keeps hoses and diesel refuelling equipment out of harm’s way, and also mitigates the trip hazards from ground-stored hoses.

Banlaw FuelTrack™ is a powerful management tool that saves you money by providing precise monitoring, reconciliation and centralised reporting of fuel usage or other liquid usage. The Fuel Management System assists with fuel security, environmental compliance, stock reconciliation, maintenance scheduling, cost analysis, the calculation of burn rates, fuel ordering and rationing as well as compliant measurement for fuel tax credit and carbon trading schemes. It also enables efficient charging of third parties using your refuelling facilities.

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.

Operational certainty comes from infrastructure and fluid transfer hardware that is fit for purpose when deployed, and then inspected, maintained, refurbished, or replaced at the appropriate point in time.

How reconfiguring filling systems for offroad equipment enhances productivity and HSE outcomes

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

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.

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