  • Where is our refinery located?
  • Our refinery is located between residential communities in the Cape Town area, so we take extra care to make sure we take the necessary steps to protect our employees, their families and our neighbouring communities. Petroleum refining is one of the most heavily regulated industries in the world.
  • What is soybean oil used for?
  • Most of the remaining residue (soybean meal) is used as animal feed.

  • Crude oil arrives by oil tanker in Saldanha Bay for discharge and is then transported to Cape Town refinery via pipeline.

Starts in the distillation towers, where crude oil is separated into various components.
