Abstract
Sasol is constructing a second 1-octene production plant at its Secunda site in South Africa to meet growing global demands from plastics manufacturers. The new multi-million dollar plant, which is expected to come on-stream by the end of 2004, will produce 48 000 tons/year of 1-octene, pushing overall annual capacity to 96 000 tons, double existing output, says Sasol chief executive Pieter Cox. The two plants are operated by Sasol Olefins and Surfactants, which forms part of Sasol Chemical Industries, and first delivery from the new plant is expected to reach global customers by January 2005.This is a short news story only.
