BANLAW REFUELLING SYSTEMS
Banlaw manufactures, installs and supports purpose designed refuelling systems that deliver an environmentally responsible management of fuel & oil resources, create safer working environments and enhancing overall efficiency for rail operators.
Banlaw's extensive experience in hydrocarbon management means that we understand the particular needs of rail operators for robust and efficient refuelling systems that are scalable and reliable.
BANLAW RFS
Banlaws RFS is the core element in all hydrocarbon management systems. This is a quick fill, fully dry break, fully sealed system that provides a leak free connection between the fuel tank and fuel source.
Features include:
- Leak free refuelling,
- Dry break connectivity,
- Automatic tank level monitoring
- Automatic termination of fuel flow once the tank is full.
- Can accommodate quick fill procedures up to 1000l/minute (265 gallons/ minute)
HI FLOW
Banlaw's HiFlow System enables significant reduction in the time taken to refuel locomotives and rail cars, thereby enabling each machine to spend an increased amount of time in operation.
Flow rates of up to 1000 litres per minute or 265 gallons per minute are possible with the HiFlow system.
Over the life of an individual machine, the actual work time increase is significant. In some instances, where Banlaw have installed their HiFlow system, clients have been able to forgo the need to purchase an additional rolling stock, further enhancing the savings delivered by the Banlaw system and the improvement to the overall bottom line performance.
BANLAW FILLSAFE™
The Banlaw Fillsafe™ overfill protection system provides zero overfill, zero tank pressure and zero spillage during refuelling in any environment.
Returns for the client are realisable in their bottom line through:
- Reduced loss of fuel from spillage or tank rupture,
- Reduced need for maintenance because the zero tank pressure environment extends the working life of the locomotive or rail car’s tanks
- Improved environmental outcomes
- Reduced chance of OH&S related risks through zero spillage.
The Banlaw Fillsafe™ System is available as either a fully electronic or hydraulic system depending on the specific site requirements.
Linked sensors fitted in the refuelling receiver and the fuel tank ensure the tank is completely full, and then cut of the fuel flow without tank pressurisation. The leak free connection between nozzle and tank ensures zero spillage, zero tank pressure and simultaneously prevents any contaminants entering the fuel tank – delivering improved performance outcomes and reduced downtime for each machine. Cleaner fuel also means improved filter and injector life, delivering further savings in machine related expenses.
