Foskor Sulphuric Acid ‘A’ Plant Start-Up
The start-up date for Foskor's 'A' Plant was Tuesday, 17 December 2024.
A planned statutory shutdown commenced on 22 November 2024 at Foskor Sulphuric Acid ‘A’ Plant. The gas heat-up process began on 17 December, with the transition to sulphur gas production expected to take place on 29 December 2024.
‘A’ Plant start-up date: 17 December 2024
A visible plume of water vapour might be evident, which is a by-product of the Sasol gas burning process indicating the plant’s readiness for the sulphur changeover. Consultation with local authorities will be undertaken prior to the start-up.
Key factors such as wind direction, other meteorological conditions and the time of day will be considered to minimise any potential public inconvenience. Should there be any changes to the heat-up process that affects the start-up date, these will be communicated accordingly.
