Sasol Secunda Facility Benfield units Phase 1 and 2. The sole purpose of the Benfield is to remove CO2 from the Feedgas from Synthol. The Benfield circulation Regen column releases the CO2 and steam into the atmosphere. Each Benfield has a Feedgas flow rate of 400 000Nm3/hr, of which 12% is CO2. So about 48,000Nm3/h CO2 into the atmosphere per column per hour, seven days a week, 365 days per year. There are 4 Benfield Regen columns on the Sasol Secunda facility. Source:
