“Our continued collaboration with Honeywell marks a significant milestone not only for Dangote’s refinery, but for Nigeria’s energy sector as a whole,” said Aliko Dangote, President, Dangote Petroleum Refinery and Petrochemicals FZE. “Through the use of Honeywell’s proven, advanced technologies, we can set new production standards for the industry while contributing to Nigeria’s energy independence and economic growth.”

For nearly a decade, Honeywell has been providing process technology to Dangote’s Lekki refinery. Going forward, this expansion project will enable it to maximize the existing equipment and infrastructure – providing the greatest return on investment and accelerating the project timeline and ultimately speed to market.

“Honeywell is committed to delivering groundbreaking technologies that empower customers, drive operational excellence, and support regional energy security efforts,” said Rajesh Gattupalli, President, Honeywell UOP. “Our work with Dangote demonstrates how innovation and collaboration can help enhance regional energy independence and support Africa’s growing energy needs.”

In addition, Dangote will also license Honeywell’s Oleflex technology, which converts propane to propylene through catalytic dehydrogenation, to produce 750,000 metric tons per year of propylene. With this agreement, Dangote will increase its total production of polypropylene – the primary component in a variety of plastic products including packaging materials – to 2.4 million metric tons per year.

Dangote’s Lekki facility is the largest single-train refinery in the world producing Euro-V quality gasoline, diesel and jet fuel along with polypropylene, a primary component used in plastics and packaging.

With more than a century of experience in the energy sector, Honeywell’s process technologies and catalysts have been licensed to more than 6,000 refineries and industrial facilities globally.
