A planned statutory shutdown commenced on 23 August 2024 at Foskor Sulphuric Acid C Plant. The gas heat-up process is scheduled to begin on 1 October 2024, with the transition to sulphur gas production expected to take place on 7 October 2024.
“C” Plant start-up date: 1 October 2024
A visible plume of water vapour might be evident indicating plants readiness for the sulphur change -over and also due to condensation of the Sasol gas during the heat- up process. Consultation with local authorities will be undertaken prior to the start-up.
Key factors such as wind direction and other meteorological conditions, and the time of day will be considered to minimize any potential public inconvenience. Should there be any changes to the heat up process that affect the start-up date, these will be communicated accordingly.
