Banlaw Fluid Transfer Coupling Range Overview

Here is an overview of our old and newer styles of Flush Face Couplers, along with key benefits. Our Fluid Transfer product family includes Flush Face quick disconnect products, a Fluid Evacuation Coupling, a Grease Transfer Coupling, and our Classic Range of quick couplings.

Check Valve Receiver

Our Check Valve Receiver is a high flow dry break diesel fuel receiver in the industry-standard size, but tougher, and with enhanced fuel security built-in.

Banlaw Evacuation Coupling (BEC)

Banlaw’s fluid evacuation couplings transform waste fluid removal practices. Using just one Coupling, service teams can connect to all the Banlaw Flush Face receivers from size 1 to size 11. Waste products are evacuated using a vacuum rather than gravity to reduce fluid removal times.

Tank Overfill Protection

Banlaw’s Tank Overfill Protection Systems help construction, mining, and rail operations that need to fill storage tanks and refuel diesel-powered machines. FillSafe, helps avoid equipment damage and maintenance costs from inaccurate filling, while increasing fuelling efficiency and site safety.

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.

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.

Site Maintenance

Your refuelling and fluid management systems need to be properly maintained to ensure you gain the maximum benefit from our solutions. Regular inspections are also a legislative requirement in some countries. Let our expert team make scheduled maintenance cost effective and efficient. We can also provide complete site audits on actual fuel usage and workplace practices in relation to fuels and fluid handling. We offer routine inspections, maintenance, meter calibrations, and reporting on the condition of facilities, equipment, and machines.

Top 10 Fuel Issues

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 have outlined the top ten issues our customers come up against with their fuel and hydrocarbon storage, management and use, and how Banlaw can help you to swiftly overcome these issues with tried-and-tested methods and proven cost-effective services.

Environmental Accountability

Fuel consumption is at the heart of all transport and mining industries. Likewise so too is the maintenance of this infrastructure. Fuel systems servicing and maintenance is critical to any modern rail, fleet, mining or port operation and there is no company better placed to manage this for you than Banlaw. Banlaw has been established since 1980 and are the “Pioneers in Unified Fuel Management”. Operating as specialists in refuelling and other fluid transfers, Banlaw offer an onsite fuel system maintenance capability unlike any competing solution globally.

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?
