We helped a client save $2 million a year through more efficient refuelling

For one of our clients, an integrated nickel

mine and processing facility, tracking fuel

was becoming difficult. They estimated that

annually, they had around 6% in fuel losses that

they simply couldn’t account for. To help rectify

this situation, they turned to FluidIntel.

This includes the type and quantity of fuel acquired

for the business activities; the date it was acquired;

that the fuel was used in the business; the business

activities the fuel was used in, such as whether

it was for travelling on a public road or in other

activities; and that the correct fuel tax credit rate

was used when calculating the claim.

Solution:

We worked closely with this client to understand

their needs and create a bespoke AdaptFMS

solution that would integrate with the client’s

existing authorisation systems, including

employee ID cards and their Gallagher/Cardex

database.

The solution was implemented in four key stages.

In the first stage, we ensured secure dispenses

to over 1,500 vehicles and the plant. In the

second stage, we installed AdaptSMUs on HVs for

identification and authorisation of engine hours,

and in the third stage, we implemented remote

tank monitoring. Most recently, in stage four,

we have installed instruments to help the client

measure their fuel consumption by fixed plant in

the processing facility.

Benefit:

Currently, the site uses approximately 72 million

litres of diesel per annum. In the final phase,

we will incorporate updates to enable the

measurement of High Sulphuric Fuel Oil (HSFO)

for the process plant, as well as ship-to-shore

custody transfer.

Overall, the client now has the ability to save

approximately 6% of their fuel stocks. They

also enjoy a fully automated system with no

manual inputs, which drastically reduces the

chance of human error, and they receive relevant

and useful reports, which enables more accurate

decision making.
