The Sasolburg chemicals complex is located in the Free State, South Africa.
Sasol Infrachem is based at the Sasolburg chemical complex and reforms natural gas into synthesis gas for use as petrochemical feedstock. It also produces and markets ammonia and provides a services platform to the various
business units at the Sasolburg sites, including utilities, infrastructure and site support. Sasol Infrachem is also responsible for site governance at
Sasolburg.
The polymers business operates a combined ethylene cracking and separation plant. Small quantities of propane are co-cracked.
Sasol Solvents utilises six plants, methanol, methyl iso-butyl ketone (MIBK), water and NAC recovery, a blending operation, and mining chemicals. A cobalt
catalyst plant is operated by Sasol Synfuels International.
Pilot plants, laboratories, maintenance workshops, a library and a R&D centre are run on site by Sasol Technology.
Sasol Wax produces synthetic wax based on Sasol’s proprietary technology. Coal is mined by Sasol Mining at the nearby Sigma: Mooikraal operation. Sasol
ChemCity is also represented.
Sasolburg is home to various nitro plants. An ammonia plant derives Syngas from reformed natural gas and a nitric acid plant is linked to a downstream facility which produces low density ammonium nitrate for manufacturing
explosives.
Joint ventures include Merisol (Sasol and Merichem) and Natref (Sasol Oil and Total South Africa).
A number of shared services are rendered by Sasol Group Services.
