ABSTRACT:

The SASOL I coal gasification plant is part of a highly-integrated industrial complex which produces liquid and solid hydrocarbons, petrochemicals, LPG, and medium-Btu gas by Lurgi gasification followed by gas cleanup and Fischer-Tropsch synthesis. Many of the process units used in this plant are also found in the designs of a number of first generation coal gasification plants proposed for this country. Some of these projects have had tests performed at SASOL in order to obtain stream characterization data for process and control systems design.  Unfortunately, much of this data is proprietary. This document provides publicly available information and data with an emphasis on environmental and health aspects. The presentation, which is the sixth in a series of documents, is arranged for each of comparison of the plant configurations of and EH&S data from other coal gasification plants included in this study.
