Introduction

Custom Diesel Transfer System Saves Thousands of Litres for BHP Maintenance Operations

To prevent fuel loss during haul truck servicing, BHP engaged Coerco to develop a mobile diesel recovery and transfer solution resulting in major savings, improved efficiency, and a safer, more sustainable refuelling process for their Pilbara workshop.

The Challenge

Reducing Diesel Waste During Haul Truck Servicing

BHP faced unnecessary diesel wastage when full fuel tanks on haul trucks had to be emptied into hazardous waste storage during servicing. The existing method was inefficient, wasteful, and lacked a safe recovery system for reusable fuel.

Diesel Wastage Due to Inefficient Fuel Transfer

With no recovery solution, fuel close to full capacity was offloaded and discarded, resulting in thousands of litres of diesel lost during regular maintenance cycles.

Lack of Safe, Compliant Storage During Servicing

BHP needed a compliant, easy-to-use system that could safely store and return diesel without violating standards for handling flammable liquids.

On-Site Mobility and Operational Flexibility

Any new solution had to be easily moved around the workshop and integrate into BHP’s servicing workflow, without requiring permanent installation or extensive changes.

The Solution

Mobile, Dual-Pump Diesel Storage Skid Built for Recovery and Reuse

Dual-Pump, Single-Hose Recovery System

The tank featured two pumps operating through one hose reel and controlled via a single valve, streamlining fuel transfer while eliminating the need for dual systems.

Mobile Skid Design with Forklift Pockets

The diesel skid included forklift access points, allowing the tank to be safely relocated whether full or empty anywhere within the servicing workshop.

Efficient, Standards-Compliant Fuel Recovery

Designed to Australian combustible liquid standards, the system enabled safe fuel storage, avoided hazardous waste disposal, and delivered measurable cost savings from day one.
