Sasol has patented an environmentally friendly  application for hard wax as an additive to bitumen  in road construction. Responding to customer demand Creating the platform for  Sasolburg’s expansion Worldwide demand for hard wax is  expanding and already exceeds supply.  Increasing consumer demand for products  packaged and sealed with hot-melt  adhesives – particularly in the developing  world – is one of the major drivers  supporting this growth. Demand is also  being underpinned by environmental  considerations. Sasol has patented an  environmentally friendly application for  hard wax as an additive to bitumen in  road construction. Sold as Sasobit™, it  lowers the temperature at which bitumen  can be laid, reducing emissions and  greenhouse gases. This innovative product,  which also improves resistance to rutting,  was recently used at South Africa’s newest  international airport, King Shaka, north  of Durban. Regulatory requirements to replace  lead-based stabilisers in PVC have driven  up demand for hard wax as an additive  in the PVC extrusion industry. However,  demand for wax from the construction  industry as a whole, although fi rmer,  is not yet back at the levels seen before  the global economic crisis began in 2008.  sasol infrachem Sasol Infrachem  provides a services  platform for reforming natural gas  and providing utilities, infrastructure  and site support at our Sasolburg  complex. It is responsible for  Sasolburg site governance and  reputation management in the Free  State Province. Efforts to improve safety and enhance  energy efficiency, as well as preparatory  work on the additional utilities and  services required for the Sasolburg site  expansion projects of Afrox, Sasol Wax,  Sasol Polymers and Sasol Synfuels  International, were the focus of Sasol  Infrachem’s activities in 2010. These efforts were, however, marred by  the death of a service provider on our site  in the year. On 23 June 2010, Skerp  Mofokeng, a driver employed by HIFA  Carriers, was fatally injured when a sudden  pressure release occurred from the  manhole of the ISO container he had  transported. At the time of the incident  the vehicle was stationary in the HIFA  Carriers Yard on the Sasol Infrachem site.  We extend our sincere sympathy to his  family and friends. Instilling a culture of safety awareness  remains a challenge. Greater management  focus is being placed on implementing  Sasol group safety mechanisms and  driving Sasol Infrachem’s recordable case  rate down. Our RCR in 2010 of 0,62 was  Sasol Infrachem recently began  engineering work on the first phase of the  utilities expansion necessary to support  Sasol Wax and Sasol Polymers’ growth  projects. As part of our efforts to reduce  our environmental footprint, we intend to  reduce the water intensity of utilities at  Sasolburg. We are also working closely  We improved our gas efficiency on site  due to the increased recycling of tail gas  to the methanol plant and, at the same  time, reduced flare gas by 76%. At year- end we commissioned the start-up of  additional power generators, which had  previously been mothballed. This will  ensure that the Sasolburg site’s  consumption of electricity, provided by  state power utility, Eskom, remains within  the 10% savings target.  At 37,2 M GJ, reformed gas production  from Sasolburg’s two auto-thermal  reformers was 4,2% above that produced  in 2009. We are pleased to report no safety  incidents during the major scheduled  shutdown of an auto-thermal reformer  in the second half of the year.  The shutdown also allowed Sasol  Infrachem to improve plant integrity.  Changes in the configuration of the gas  distribution system assisted in boosting  the performance of our customers,  including Sasol Wax, Sasol Solvents  and Sasol Nitro. our best performance in many years  but still above the group target of 0,45. 60
