Key developments for Sasol Ltd (SSL)
Uzbekneftegaz National Holding Company joint Stock Company has signed a $2.5 billion deal to create a joint venture with Petronas and Sasol Ltd. to build a synthetic liquid fuel production plant. The three companies will take equal stakes in the venture, which will be based in the Central Asian nation. In an industrial process developed by Sasol, the facility will convert natural gas into liquid fuel. The plant is expected to produce around 1.3 million tons of clean-burning diesel fuel annually once completed.
Sasol Ltd. announced that its methyl isobutyl ketone [2](MIBK) expansion at its Sasolburg, South Africa, complex is complete with the plant running at full rates, it will remove an additional 40,000 tonnes/year of Sasol's [3]acetone from the merchant market. The expansion, which will double the site's MIBK capacity to 60,000 tonnes/year, is still set to start up in December, a company source said. How soon the plant reaches full operating capacity depends on economic conditions, MIBK demand and how smoothly the start up process goes. Sasol's average annual production of acetone is about 180,000 tonnes. The existing 30,000 tonne/year plant currently consumes 40,000 tonnes/year of acetone feedstock.
Sasol Ltd. announced that Dr. Benny Mokaba has resigned as director of Sasol Limited with effect from 14 October and will leave the employment of the company on 1 January 2010. However, Dr. Mokaba has agreed to make some of his time available in 2010 to render consultancy services to Sasol on selected projects.
