SASOL’S LAKE CHARLES CHEMICALS PROJECT (LCCP) ETHANE CRACKER
UNIT ACHIEVES BENEFICIAL OPERATION

In our announcement of 26 August 2019, we confirmed that the 72-hours beneficial
operation production test run on the LCCP’s Ethane Cracker was at the halfway
mark. This test run has now been completed and we have achieved beneficial
operation of the unit.

The plant continues to operate stably at a capacity utilisation of around 50%. The
current output is utilised by our downstream units and the remainder is sold to
external customers. We continue to focus on improving the ethylene quality and
ramp up the plant in accordance with our plans.
