Sasol's Fischer-Tropsch process — developed since the 1950s — converts coal or gas to synthetic fuels and waxes. Our hard waxes (Sasolwax) coat food packaging and crayons. Carbon monoxide + hydrogen + cobalt catalyst = everything.

UOP's molecular sieves (zeolite 3A, 4A, 5A) dehydrate ethanol to fuel-grade anhydrous ethanol. Our Parex process separates para-xylene from mixed C8 aromatics using simulated moving bed chromatography. Adsorption chemistry at refinery scale.
