Dangote contracts Honeywell International for major refinery capacity upgrade to 1.4 million barrels per day
The Dangote Group has entered a strategic partnership with Honeywell International Inc to support the next phase of expansion of the Dangote Petroleum Refinery.
Penpushing reports that this collaboration will provide advanced technology and services that will enable the refinery to increase its processing capacity to 1.4 million barrels per day by 2028, marking a major milestone in our long-term vision to build the world’s largest petroleum refining complex.
The management said through this agreement, Honeywell will supply specialised catalysts, equipment, and process technologies that will allow the refinery to process a broader slate of crude grades efficiently and to further enhance product quality and operational reliability.
Penpushing further reports that Honeywell, a global Fortune 100 industrial and technology company, offers a wide portfolio of solutions across aviation, automotive, industrial automation, and advanced materials.
The Honeywell’s division UOP has been a technology partner to Dangote since 2017, providing proprietary refining systems, catalyst regeneration equipment, high performance column trays, and heat exchanger technologies that support our best-in-class operations.
Penpushing also reports that Dangote Group is advancing its petrochemical footprint, and as part of the wider collaboration, it will scale its polypropylene capacity to 2.4 million metric tons annually using Honeywell’s Oleflex technology, while Polypropylene is a key industrial material widely used across packaging, manufacturing, and automotive applications.
The Dangote Group in addition to refining expansion, is progressing with the next phase of its fertiliser growth plan in Nigeria and will increase its rea production capacity from 3 million metric tons to 9 million metric tons annually.
Penpushing reports that the existing plant consists of two trains of 1.5 million metric tons each, and the expansion will add four additional trains to meet growing demand for high-quality fertiliser across Africa and global markets.
The Dangote Group remains fully committed to delivering world-class industrial capacity, strengthening Nigeria’s energy security, and driving sustainable economic growth through long-term investment, innovation, and strategic global partnerships
