Tank Overfill Protection

Banlaw FillSafetm

Setting The Bar High For Zero Tank-Pressure 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.

Banlaw has two overfill prevention product families, FillSafe Zero and FillSafe Power share the following key benefits:

  • Reliable tank overfill protection – no wasted liquid (e.g. fuel) – no underfills – no guessing or checking if the tank is filled to capacity.
  • Efficient design with superior flow characteristics – no premature shut-off when using ‘auto shut-off’ Dry Break nozzles – increased refuelling flow rates.
  • No pressure build-up in the tank – avoids tank rupture and fatigue.
  • Secondary (backup) overfill protection system – FillSafe Power and FillSafe Zero have a ‘pressurised tank’ backup shut-off system when deployed with Banlaw (or similar) Dry Break refuelling nozzles, receivers and vents.

Banlaw’s zero tank pressure overfill protection systems come in several configurations. This offers highly flexible deployment options, and addresses all common industrial use-cases:

  • All mining and construction diesel-powered machines.
  • Freight and passenger diesel locomotives.
  • Small to medium fixed, transportable, and mobile fluid storages.
  • Systems to control modest flow rates all the way up to thousands of gallons per minute.
