The journey of a Sasol replacement acid gas scrubber column is nearly complete, with the 91 000 kg, 60-m-long abnormal load set to arrive in Secunda on Friday, after three days on the road.

The Kelvion Thermal Solutions-manufactured scrubber column left Germiston, Gauteng, late on Tuesday and will replace the AK existing column, which has reached the end of its lifespan.

This forms part of Sasol’s preparations for its yearly maintenance shutdown in September.

The new replacement column, which will be used to safely remove specific gases from the ammonia-rich stream at Sasol Synfuels’ Phenosolvan plant, travelled along the R554 towards Alberton and the R103 towards Heidelberg.

It is currently on the R550 to Nigel, before crossing the R51 to Balfour, the R548 to Devon, the R29 to Leandra and Kinross and the final R580 to Secunda on Friday.
