Sasol and Linde conclude long-term agreement for engineering services
Sasol Technology (Pty) Ltd of South Africa has appointed the engineering division of The Linde Group as preferred licensor’s engineering contractors for a major portion of the Sasol fixed bed dry bottom (FBDB) gasification technology for an initial term of 10 years.
Linde’s mandate covers the downstream aspects of the FBDB gasification technology (raw gas cooling, raw gas shift, by-product processing and overall integration of the gas island). Hatch has been appointed for the remaining upstream aspects of the technology (coal delivery, gasification proprietary equipment and ash handling).
Linde’s expertise in hydrogen and synthesis gas production and gas processing technologies will be used to provide engineering consultation and related engineering services to Sasol. Linde will assist Sasol’s existing coal-based gas production operations with the development of optimization and engineering studies, and will be responsible for process engineering work for new gasification plants. Furthermore, Linde will assist Sasol with the on-going development of its gasification technology.
