E-SASOL SECUNDA INDUSTRIAL COMPLEX, E-MPUMALANGA
MDEDET REF NO: 17/2/3 GS-172
INCWADI YOLWAZI OLUYISENDLALELO
MEYI 2013
1. LE NCWADI IKUTSHELANI?
Le ncwadi ihlose ukunikeza wena, njengomuntu othanda ukubamba iqhaza nothintekile (I&AP), ulwazi oluyisendlalelo
mayelana nesicelo seSigunyazo Sezemvelo (EA) (esathulwa ku-MDEDET) sephrojekthi ehlongozwayo yokunwetshwa kweC3, e-Secunda, kuMasipala wendawo wase-Govan Mbeki, esifundazweni sase-Mpumalanga, kanye nocwaningo
lwezemvelo oludingekayo okufanele lwenziwe.
Iphinde ikhombise ukuthi wena ungabandanyeka kanjani kule phrojekthi, uthole ulwazi, noma uphakamise izinto ezingase
zikukhathaze kanye/noma zikwenze ube nesasasa. Ukucobelelana ngolwazi kwakha isisekelo senqubo yokubambaiqhaza
komphakathi futhi kukunikeza ithuba lokuba neqhaza kule projekthi kusukela ekuqaleni. Imibono evela kuma-I&AP
iqinisekisa ukuthi zonke izindaba ezingase zithinte imvelo ziyacatshangelwa lapho kwenziwa ucwaningo.
2. IMIGOMO YALE PHROJEKTHI
Iphrojektho yokunwetshwa kwe-C3 yaqawa ukuze kuhlinzekwe i-propylene eyengeziwe elinganiselwa ku-105 ktpa
(amakhilothani ngonyaka) ezotholakala ngo-2014 ngenxa yamaprojekthi ahlukahlukene okuthuthukisa ezakhiweni
ezingenhla ze-Sasol. Kwahlongozwa ithuba lokuthi i-propylene eyengeziwe isetshenziselwe ukuphakela amaplanti epolypropylene (PP), okuyi-PP1 ne-PP2.
Ukuze iqale le phrojekthi, kudingeka kutholakale Ucwaningo Lokubhekela imvelo( EA) ngokuvumelana noMthetho
wokulawulwa kwezemvelo kuzwelonke, 1998 (No 107 ka-1998) njengoba uchitshiyelwe, kanye neZiqondiso zokuhlaziywa
komthelela wezemvelo (EIA) (2010).
3. INCAZELO YEPHROJEKTHI
Yonke i-propylene eyengeziwe izoguqulwa ibe i-polypropylene ngokukhulula ingcindezi kuwo womabili lamaplanti okuyi-PP1
ne-PP2 ekhona ukuze zisebenze ngomthamo owengeziwe odingekayo ka-105 ktpa. I-propylene eyengeziwe izohlukaniswa
phakathi kwawo womabili la maplanti. I-PP1 izoguqula u-30 ktpa kuyilapho i-PP2 izoguqula omunye u-75 ktpa.
Inhloso yokusebenza kwamaplanti e-PP ukuguqulwa ngokusezingeni eligcwele kwe-propylene ne-ethylene esuka e-Sasol
Synfuels ibe yizinhlamvana ze-polypropylene ngenqubo ebizwa ngokuthi i-polymerization. Imikhiqizo evela kulokhu yiHomopolymers (ehlanganisa i-propylene kuphela), i-Impact Copolymers (i-propylene ne-ethylene) kanye ne-Random
Copolymers (i-propylene ne-ethylene). Iphrojekthi Yokunwetshwa Kwe-C3 ibandakanya ukuthuthukiswa nokufakwa
koshintsho emishinini ye-PP1 ne-PP2 ekhona ukuze kulungiselelwe ukwanda komkhiqizo olindelekile..

NEWSPAPER ADVERT – DRAFT BAR REVIEW
NOTICE OF BASIC ASSESSMENT FOR THE PROPOSED C3 EXPANSION PROJECT AT THE SASOL SECUNDA
INDUSTRIAL COMPLEX, MPUMALANGA (MDEDET REF: 17/2/3 GS-172)
Notice is hereby given in terms of the National Environmental Management Act, 1998 (No 107 of 1998) as amended, and the Environmental
Impact Assessment Regulations (2010) that Sasol Polymers (Pty) Ltd has submitted an application for Environmental Authorisation (EA) to the
Mpumalanga Department of Economic Development, Environment and Tourism (MDEDET).
The C3 expansion project was initiated to address an estimated 105 ktpa (kilo tons per annum) additional propylene that will be available in
2014 as a result of various optimisation projects on the upstream Sasol facilities. An opportunity was identified for the additional propylene to be
utilised as feed for the polypropylene (PP) plants, namely PP1 and PP2.
The operating intent of the PP plants is the maximum conversion of propylene and ethylene from Sasol Synfuels into polypropylene pellets via a
polymerization process. The products from this reaction are Homopolymers (constituting only propylene), Impact Copolymers (constituting
propylene and a high concentration of ethylene) and Random Copolymers (constituting propylene and a low concentration of ethylene). Both
Impact Copolymers and Random Copolymers consist of ethylene and propylene but the difference is the amount of ethylene in the polymer as
well as the way in which they are produced. Presently, the two PP plants produce about 26 different grades of polypropylene for various uses.
The C3 Expansion Project will involve upgrading and implementing changes to the existing PP1 and PP2 process equipment to accommodate
the increase in throughput.
Consequently, Sasol Polymers (Pty) Ltd intends to undertake a Basic Assessment study and submit the Basic Assessment (BA)
report to MDEDET in support of the proposed project.
NOTICE OF AVAILABILITY OF THE DRAFT BASIC ASSESSMENT REPORT FOR PUBLIC REVIEW
All Interested and Affected Parties (I&APs) are hereby notified that the draft Basic Assessment Report (BAR) will be available for

INTRODUCTION
The C3 expansion project was initiated to address an estimated 105 ktpa (kilo tons per annum) additional
propylene that will be available incrementally from 2014 as a result of various optimisation projects on the
upstream Sasol facilities. An opportunity was identified for the additional propylene to be utilised as feed for the
polypropylene (PP) plants, namely PP1 and PP2.
All the additional propylene will be converted to polypropylene by debottlenecking both the existing PP1 and PP2
plants so as to process the required additional capacity of 105 ktpa. The additional propylene will be split between
the two plants: PP1 will convert additional 30 ktpa while PP2 will convert additional 75 ktpa. The PP1 plant has
been in operation from February 1990 and has a capacity of 220000 tpa (tons per annum) whereas the PP2 plant
has been in operation from December 2007 with a capacity of 300000 tpa.
The operating intent of the PP plants is the maximum conversion of propylene and ethylene from Sasol Synfuels
into polypropylene pellets via a polymerization process. The products from this reaction are Homopolymers
(constituting only propylene), Impact Copolymers (propylene and ethylene) and Random Copolymers (propylene
and ethylene). Presently, the two PP plants produce about 26 different grades of polypropylene for various uses.
The C3 expansion project involves upgrading and implementing changes to the existing PP1 and PP2 process
equipment to accommodate the increase in throughput.
The site of the proposed project is located in the existing PP1 and PP2 plants within the Sasol Polymers plant at
the Sasol Secunda Industrial Complex.
1.1 Applicable Documentation
The following environmental documentation is applicable for the project, and will be read in conjunction with this
EMPr:
•
•
Basic Assessment Report for the Proposed C3 Expansion Project, Secunda, Mpumalanga Province.
Environmental Authorisation (EA) from the Mpumalanga Department of Economic Development,
Environment and Tourism (MDEDET) – once issued.
1.2 Structure of the Environmental Management Programme
The EMPr provides proposed mitigation and management measures for the following phases of the project (refer
to FIGURE 1).
DRAFT ENVIRONMENTAL MANAGEMENT PROGRAMME FOR THE PROPOSED C3 EXPANSION PROJECT AT SASOL, SECUNDA,
MPUMALANGA
FIGURE 1: DIFFERENT PHASES OF THE PROJECT LIFECYCLE
Relevant environmental legislation pertaining to the project is listed within Chapter 3. Sasol shall be responsible
for ensuring compliance with the conditions by any person acting on their behalf, including but not limited to, an
agent, contractor, sub-contractor, employee or person rendering a service to the holder of the authorisation.
This EMPr is a dynamic document which will be updated as required on a continuous basis to ensure
environmental best practices. Any amendments made, must be submitted to both the Sasol EIA specialist and
Project Manager for approval. Amendments to the EMPr must be submitted to the MDEDET.
1.3 Objectives of the Environmental Management Programme
The EMPr has the following objectives:
•
•
•
•
To outline functions and responsibilities of responsible persons.
To state standards and guidelines, which are required to be achieved in terms of environmental legislation.
To outline mitigation measures and environmental specifications which are required to be implemented for all
phases of the project in order to minimise the extent of environmental impacts, and to manage environmental
impacts associated with the proposed project.
To prevent long-term or permanent environmental degradation.

1.4 The EMPr as a “live” Document
The approach adopted for this EMPr is derived from the Deming Cycle (FIGURE 2), a cycle of continuous
improvement that entails the reiterative actions of plan, do, check, act, and critically to then return to the planning
phase.
FIGURE 2: DEMING CYCLE OF CONTINUING IMPROVEMENT
1.4.1 Plan
Project-specific planning for the proposed project involves consideration of the legal triggers, the specifics of the
proposed development, and the nature of the receiving environment. This provides a starting point for targeted
environmental management objectives. Environmental performance indicators are then determined with
measurable targets prescribed to monitor the environmental performance of the project. Achieving the targets
depends on compliance with this EMPr and the legislative requirements that underpin it.
1.4.2 Do
Throughout the development’s life-span, the developer and operator will be required to develop and maintain a
Quality Management System – designed to ensure that best management practices are implemented in day-today management. Such a QMS should at least include the following information:
• Location and extent of associated infrastructure;
• Associated activities, such as the transportation of people and equipment;
• Resources and experience required (staffing);
• Materials and equipment to be used;
• Management actions;
• Human resources used;
• Construction-monitoring activities;
• Emergency / disaster incident and reaction procedures; and
• Rehabilitation procedures for the impacted environment.
1.4.3 Check
A system of assessing monitoring results has been developed to check the environmental management
performance. Continuous assessment facilitates proactive management of the environmental issues. Mitigation
T01.PTA.000509
Page 3
RHDHV
DRAFT ENVIRONMENTAL MANAGEMENT PROGRAMME FOR THE PROPOSED C3 EXPANSION PROJECT AT SASOL, SECUNDA,
MPUMALANGA
measures can then be successfully implemented on an ongoing basis to keep environmental indicators within
their target thresholds. Moreover, the assessment system also enables the assessment of the efficacy of the
EMPr. Regular auditing of environmental performance is prescribed to prove and preserve accountability.
1.4.4 Act
The assessments and monitoring of the results and findings of the regular audits must be documented within a
reporting system. Precautionary mitigation measures and corrective actions will be prescribed and instructions will
be given in order to implement these in the field. The findings of monitoring and auditing programmes can also be
used to update the EMPr. Although the EMPr is a project-specific document, it is dynamic and should be updated
regularly to address the changing circumstances of the scheme.

Conduct environmental training and awareness to employees.
Arrange for all employees and those of subcontractors to receive training before the
commencement of construction in order that they are aware of the conditions of the
environmental authorisation and the EMPr.
2.2 Environmental Awareness Plan
It is important to ensure that the Contractor has the appropriate level of environmental awareness and
competence to ensure continued environmental due diligence and ongoing minimisation of environmental harm.
To achieve effective environmental management, it is important that employees, contractors and sub-contractors
are aware of their responsibilities in terms of the relevant environmental legislation and the contents of this EMPr.
Training needs should be identified based on the available and existing capacity of site personnel (including the
Contractors and Sub-contractors) to undertake the required EMPr management actions and monitoring activities.
It is vital that all personnel are adequately trained to perform their designated tasks to an acceptable standard.
The environmental awareness plan is aimed at:
•
•
•
•
promoting environmental awareness amongst all personnel on site;
informing personnel of all environmental procedures, policies and programmes applicable;
providing generic training on the implementation of environmental management specifications; and
providing job-specific environmental training in order to understand the key environmental features of the
construction site and the surrounding environment.
The environmental awareness training programme will include:
•
•
•
the induction of all construction and operation staff;
signing by all persons, an acknowledgement of receiving and understanding the induction;
identification of environmental risks and job specific training on addressing these risks; and training on the
implementation of emergency procedures (where necessary).
Topics covered by the Environmental Awareness Programme should include:
• What is meant by “Environment”?
• Why does the environment need to be protected and conserved?
• How can construction activities impact on the environment?
• What can be done to mitigate against such impacts?
• Awareness of emergency and spills response provisions.
Training can be done either in a written or verbal format but will be in an appropriate format for the receiving
audience. The training must ensure that the contents and requirements of the EMPr are transferred to the
audience. Where training has been done verbally, persons having received training must sign an attendance
register (which must be properly filed). Training should be conducted monthly by the ECO and can also be dealt
with weekly during the ‘Toolbox Talks’.
T01.PTA.000509
Page 6
RHDHV
DRAFT ENVIRONMENTAL MANAGEMENT PROGRAMME FOR THE PROPOSED C3 EXPANSION PROJECT AT SASOL, SECUNDA,
MPUMALANGA
In addition to training, general environmental awareness must be fostered among the project’s workforce to
encourage the implementation of environmentally sound practices throughout its duration. This ensures that
environmental accidents are minimised and environmental compliance maximized.
2.3 Monitoring
A monitoring programme will be in place not only to ensure compliance with the EMPr through the contract/work
instruction specifications, but also to monitor any environmental issues and impacts which have not been
accounted for in the EMPr that are, or could result in significant environmental impacts for which corrective action
is required.
Sasol Polymers will carry out the following:
•
•
Internal Audits (conducted by Sasol Technology EIA Specialist and Environmental Control Officer by
means of site visits).
External Audits (conducted by Sasol Technology EIA Specialist and Environmental Management System
Auditor).
As part of the contract or work instruction, Sasol will stipulate the period and frequency of monitoring required.
This will be determined from applicable permits and authorisations from authorities. The Project Manager will
ensure that the monitoring is carried out.
2.4 Reporting Procedures
2.4.1 Documentation
The following documentation must be kept on site in order to record compliance with the EMPr:
•
Record of Complaints
•
Monitoring Results
•
Non-conformance Reports
•
