en.Wedoany.com Reported - Honeywell will provide petrochemical process technology and catalysts to Dangote Oil Refining and Petrochemicals Co. Ltd. to support the expansion of a petrochemical complex in Nigeria, producing products such as plastics and detergents. This collaboration aims to reduce the region's reliance on imports, enhance energy security, and promote industrial growth and supply chain improvement.

Dangote will utilize Honeywell UOP's Oleflex technology to add an annual capacity of 750,000 tons of propylene at the refinery, used in the manufacturing of packaging materials, consumer goods, and industrial products. Concurrently, Dangote will also adopt Honeywell UOP's petrochemical technology and catalysts to produce 400,000 tons per year of linear alkylbenzene (LAB), a key raw material for detergents and surfactants in cleaning products. Upon full project completion, Dangote's LAB plant in Lekki will become one of the world's larger-scale LAB production facilities.

Aliko Dangote, President of Dangote Oil Refining and Petrochemicals Co. Ltd., stated: "Our ongoing collaboration with Honeywell helps achieve the goal of strengthening Nigeria's industrial sector, supporting national supply chain independence and economic growth. Honeywell's technology enables us to meet the growing regional demand for consumer and industrial goods, establish Dangote as a global supplier, and drive economic development in West Africa."

Dangote and Honeywell have a long-term partnership focused on advancing Nigeria's refinery projects through advanced processes, automation technology, catalysts, and engineering expertise. The company plans to leverage Honeywell's technology to increase refining capacity from 650,000 barrels per day to 1.4 million barrels per day by 2028, making it a significant global petroleum refining facility.

Rajesh Gattu, President of Honeywell UOP, said: "Dangote's continued investment in advanced process technology and digital solutions enhances efficiency and output, positioning it as a key player in the global refining and petrochemical sector. Honeywell helps drive growth and long-term value by enhancing the reliability and production capacity of existing and new facilities. This collaboration demonstrates how advanced technology supports manufacturers in meeting the growing global demand for essential petrochemical products."
