Nigeria - Africa's largest refinery is set to run on the process energy of UOP LLC, a subsidiary of Honeywell International Incorporated, Punch reports.
UOP LLC, on Wednesday said its process technology, catalysts and proprietary equipment would form the basis for Dangote’s $10 refinery, which is targeted at reducing Nigeria’s dependence on imported fuels and petrochemicals.
Africa’s richest man and President, Dangote Group, Alhaji Aliko Dangote, had in March announced that his oil refinery would process 650,000 barrels per day of crude, up from the 450,000bpd initially planned.
The completion of the plant, expected to come on stream in 2017, will see Nigeria having the largest refinery in Africa.
Dangote Oil Refining Company selected UOP technology for a world-scale integrated refinery and petrochemical plant to be built in Lekki, Lagos, said Honeywell in a statement on its website.
“UOP has been designing state-of-the-art refineries and petrochemical plants for more than a century; so, we are well-equipped to help Nigeria develop a massive new installation to meet its domestic needs," The Senior Vice President and General Manager, UOP’s Process, Technology and Equipment business, Pete Piotrowski, said.
