Fuel storage challenges in a crowded market
THE mining industry poses a range of challenges to service providers – these include, climate, environment, accessibility and programming.
Tanks for fuel and lube oils (static and transportable) are no exception — large and small mining operations have distinct and exacting requirements to ensure seamless around-the-clock operation.
Should a constant and dependable supply of fuels and lubricants fail in the field, a mining operation could come to a stand-still.
Petrolink Engineering has a long and successful association with the mining industry going back to the early 1990s with specialist engineering, supply and installation, which paved the way for todays above ground on-site fuel systems.
The company’s experienced engineers and technicians can recommend a range of options for tank supply and delivery systems – not just locked into a single ‘solution’ – with options including static or mobile, base tanks or remote satellite tanks or housed in containers.
Mining operators are faced with a raft of choices so it is important that an independent appraisal is completed to ensure the right decision is made.
Petrolink supply a fully functional, environmentally responsible unit, including pumps, filtration, fuel management system and a planned maintenance schedule to ensure the unit operates at peak efficiency with no downtime.
Sizes vary from 2500 litres for small gensets or satellite tanks, to 100,000 litre single units or multiple connected units to 600,000 litres.
The storage, delivery and management of petro-chemical products is governed by a range of Regulations, Standards and EPA Environmental Rules and Guidelines.
Petrolink’s engineering division offers a high level of service in explaining the requirements to ensure compliance with the regulations which is backed up by experience and expertise in the field.
To ensure maximum performance, Petrolink has developed a suite of maintenance programs to cover the various mechanical servicing requirements to ensure an ongoing and reliable service for fuel on demand.
Purchasing quality, compliant fuel facilities is an important investment for any mining operation.
