The performance improvement at Secunda boils down to cross-functional collaboration and operational belief. Over the past two to three years, we integrated our mining operations and synfuels processing teams into a cohesive unit. Implementing the destoning plant, improving gasifier maintenance routines, and ensuring consistent coal feedstock quality enabled our gasification units to perform reliably and provide optimal feedstock across the entire facility.
