Project Mafutha, a greenfield CTL facility, would produce 80,000 b/d of synthetic fuel using Sasol's proprietary low and high temperature Fischer-Tropsch processes and refinery technology for converting the Fischer-Tropsch products into fuel products. Foster Wheeler will investigate a location for the plant. Jim Van Blaricum

"The project will also include other processing units, utilities and offsite facilities necessary to support the development," a Foster Wheeler spokesperson said. "Foster Wheeler's scope for the study will also include the integration of other venture elements, such as the mining operation, into the overall venture scope." Jim Van Blaricum
