Sasolburg Operations –
cornerstone of Sasol’s
South African footprint
Sasol transformed from a single
petrochemical site, today known
as Sasolburg Operations, to an
international integrated chemicals
and energy company that leverages
technologies and the expertise of
30 400 people working in 36 countries.
Sasol develops and commercialises
technologies, and builds and operates
world-scale facilities to produce a
range of high-value product streams,
including liquid fuels, chemicals and
low-carbon electricity.
As a Regional Operating Hub,
Sasolburg Operations remains one of
the cornerstones of Sasol’s Southern
African footprint, contributing to job
creation, sustainable development
and security of supply in chemicals. On
our three operating sites in Sasolburg,
being the Sasol One, Midland and
Bunsen sites, we produce products
such as wax, ammonia and ammonia
nitrate, ethylene, solvents, acrylic
acids, chlorine, cyanide and PVC, while
also generating low-carbon electricity.
A R16,4 bilion capital expenditure
investment at Sasolburg Operations
initiated in 2009, has substantially
increased our wax production,
expanded our polyethylene production
and enables us to generate low-carbon
electricity.
We also play a constructive role as
an active corporate citizen through
various social investment initiatives.
