                  Anglo-Transvaal Consolidated Investment has plans to erect a new oil-from-coal plant on Vaal River near Vereeniging.  Hydrocol Corp. will act as consultants.  The plant will have a capacity of 60,000,000 gal. of high-octane gasoline and 9,000,000 gal. of Diesel oil yearly.  South Africa will start with low-grade coal to make synthesis gas, but the subsequent processes are identical with the American modification of the Fischer-Tropsch process.
