1 INTRODUCTION
1.1 TERMS OF REFERENCE
Sasol South Africa (Pty) Limited operating through its Secunda Synfuels Operations (Sasol) appointed WSP
Environmental (Pty) Ltd (WSP) as an independent environmental consultant, to undertake a compliance audit
and compile an audit report according to the requirements of the National Environmental Management Act (No.
107 of 1998) as amended (NEMA). This report presents the findings of the compliance audit completed for the
Exemption (Reference number: 17.2.22.3GS1 issued on 04 July 2005) for the period December 2014 to
February 2019.
1.2 INSTALLATION OF THE THIRD TERTIARY TAR
SEPARATORS (AUTHORISATION NUMBER:
17.2.22.3GS1)
Sasol received an Exemption for the installation of the third tertiary tar separators at the Gas Liquor Separation
(GLS) plant (Units 13/213). The Exemption was issued by the Mpumalanga Department of Agriculture and
Land Administration, Gert Sibande District Environmental Management with conditions as set out in an
attached Record of Decision (RoD) (in essence an EA).
The activity authorised in terms of the of the Exemption, entailed the installation of a third parallel tertiary
separator at the same capacity of the pre-existing two separators, as well as a distribution pot at the GLS unit.
The distribution pot consists of an overflow weir to split the combined flow in three equal streams, each routed
by gravity to a dedicated tertiary separator. The clean gas from each separator is routed to the clean gas liquor,
from where it is pumped to the phenosolvan gas liquor storage tanks. The oil recovered from all three tertiary
separators is routed to the oil rundown tanks.
The GLS units separate water from hydrocarbons as found in the three gas liquor streams that originate from the
gasification process. This is completed via a series of settling tanks (cooling is completed throughout the process
to bring the various gas liquor streams to appropriate temperatures for atmospheric pressure operations) where
the water is drawn off and sent to Phenosolvan and the hydrocarbons (both oils and tar) are sent to Coal Tar
Filtration (CTF).
Figure 1 provides the location of the separators within the Sasol Secunda Primary area.

2 AUDIT SCOPE The 7 April 2017 amendment to the Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) regulations introduced the
requirement for the auditing for all EAs and EMPrs in effect on 8 December 2014 and submission of audit
reports to the Department of Environmental Affairs (DEA) by 7 December 2019 and every five years thereafter.
This audit is designed to meet the requirements of Regulation 34 of the EIA Regulations, 2014.
The audit period runs from December 2014 to February 2019, therefore any construction related conditions that
would have been relevant pre-December 2014 are considered not applicable (outside audit period).
The objective of the audit was to:
— Assess the level of compliance with the conditions of the Exemption;
— Identify and assess any new impacts and risks that result from undertaking the activity;
— Make recommendations in order to achieve compliance in terms of the Exemption;
— Ensure the commitments contained in Condition 7.01 of the Exemption are completed, more specifically:
— “Records relating to the compliance or non-compliance with the conditions of the Authorization must be
kept in good order. Such records must be made available to this Department within seven (07) working
days from the date of a written request for such records by the Department”

3 AUDIT METHODOLOGY The International Organisation of Standardisation (ISO) 14010, ISO 14011 and ISO 14012 guideline documents
were utilised as a template during the compliance audit process. This methodology ensures that the compliance
audit was conducted in a systematic and independent manner that was documented and objectively evaluated to
determine compliance to the Exemption conditions.
The audit process comprised the following:
— Confirmation of the audit checklist;
— Site inspection (12 March 2019);
— Review of documentation relevant to the conditions of the Exemption (e.g. records,
permits/certificates/maintenance logs/monitoring results/previous reports etc.); and
— Compilation of an audit report.
3.1 AUDIT CHECKLIST
WSP compiled an audit checklist to assist with the Exemption compliance audit (Section 4).
3.2 SITE INSPECTION
Ziyaad Kadwa conducted the site inspection on 12 March 2019. The findings and observations of the site visit
are recorded and summarised in Section 4 with evidence included in Table 2. Key personnel interviewed
included:
— Piet Kleynhans (Area Manager; TPS Production: Carbo Tar).
— Collin Jaynarain (Area Manager; Gas Liquor Separation: Unit 213).
3.3 DOCUMENTATION CONSIDERED
The following documentation was provided and considered:
— SSO DQS ISO 14001 2015;
— Audit report_383569_ISO 14001_2015_stage2_2018-07-27;

3.4 AUDIT COMPLIANCE ASSESSMENT
WSP utilised a pre-prepared audit checklist to assist with the audit execution (Table 2). The checklist included
the conditions and associated requirements as specified in the Exemption.
Each condition was verified, either by reviewing documentation, interviewing employees and/or visually
inspecting the facility. Each condition was rated in accordance with Table 1 below, and recommendations with
associated target completion dates included.
It should be noted that some of the Exemption conditions were apportioned according to the elements requiring
compliance assessment therein. Although some elements of the condition may have been compliant, if one of
the elements was determined to be non-compliant, the entire condition has been reported as such (and counted
as such during percentage compliance calculation). This apportionment further allowed for the development of
focussed recommendations and timeframes.
Table 1: Compliance Level Definition and Target Completion Dates
COMPLIANCE LEVEL DEFINITION
Compliant (C) Sasol could provide evidence for compliance with the commitment and condition and/or
relevant actions were implemented.
Non-compliant (NC) Specified commitments, conditions and documents were not in place or implemented
according to the requirements of the Exemption. Non-complaint conditions are given target
completion dates, as follows:
— Short term: 0 – 6 months.
— Medium term: 6 – 12 months.
— Long term: 12 – 18 months.
Not applicable (N/A) These are commitments are either not required yet or not applicable to Sasol.
— Conditions marked as “Noted” are considered information points only.
— Where conditions are considered “not auditable” within the scope of this assessment this
is stated and explained within the condition commentary.
Refer to Section 4 for the detailed audit findings (including evidence, recommendations and target completion
dates).
