That is why the world’s leading chemical companies depend on AVEVA to actively drive value, agility and sustainability throughout their asset lifecycle.
Contributing around 5% to South Africa’s gross domestic product (GDP) and approximately 25% of its manufacturing sales, the chemical industry is of considerable economic significance to the country. The largest of its kind on the continent, SA’s chemical industry is highly complex and extremely diversified, with end products often composed of a number of chemicals which have been combined in some way, in order to provide the required characteristics and properties.
Particularly prominent is the synthetic coal and natural gas-based liquid fuels and petrochemicals industry, with South Africa being the global leader in coal-based synthesis and gas-to-liquids (GTL) technologies. The primary, as well as secondary sectors, are dominated by Sasol (through Sasol Chemical Industries and Sasol Polymers), Dow Sentrachem and AECI. Recently, these companies have expanded and diversified their interests in tertiary products, especially those products with the potential for export.
