[size=18pt]Technology From Honeywell's UOP To Run Largest Refinery In Africa
Process technology, catalysts and equipment to help reduce Nigeria's dependence on imported fuel and petrochemicals[/size]

DES PLAINES, Ill., May 13, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- UOP LLC, a Honeywell (NYSE: HON) company, announced today that its process technology, catalysts and proprietary equipment will form the basis for the largest refinery in Africa, reducing Nigeria's dependence on imported fuels and petrochemicals.

Dangote Oil Refining Company selected UOP technology for a world-scale integrated refinery and petrochemical plant to be built in Lekki, near the capital of Lagos in southwestern Nigeria.

Nigeria has the second-largest amount of proven oil reserves in Africa – an estimated 37.2 billion barrels, according to Oil & Gas Journal. However, the country currently imports most of its refined product requirements due to lack of domestic refining capacity.

"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," said Pete Piotrowski, senior vice president and general manager of UOP's Process, Technology and Equipment business. "This project will enable Dangote to improve Nigeria's oil refining capabilities, reduce the country's dependence on imports, and work to revive and transform the Nigerian economy."

The Dangote Group is the largest industrial conglomerate in West Africa and one of the largest in Africa. The company has a number of interests, including cement, real estate, oil, natural gas, telecommunications, fertilizer and steel. The Group focuses on local, value-added products and services that meet the needs of the African population.

In addition to processing crude oil to produce high-quality gasoline, diesel and jet fuel that meet Euro V specifications for reduced emissions, the new facility will produce world-scale quantities of polypropylene, a key petrochemical used in plastics and packaging.

UOP technologies at this facility will include:

The UOP Resid Fluid Catalytic Cracking process to produce transportation fuels from crude oil. It will also supply propylene, which will be used as a feedstock for polypropylene.
The CCR Platforming™ process to produce high-octane gasoline blending components.
The Unicracking™ process to produce diesel.
The Penex™ process to produce high-octane gasoline.
The crude distillation unit (CDU) design, which will be provided by UOP's alliance partner, Process Consulting Services

In addition to technology licensing and design services, the UOP organization is working with Dangote Oil Refining Company to provide catalysts, adsorbents and proprietary equipment for the project.

orikinla is active in the romance section so it is understood.

Dangote again??

Very few threads of nowadays are devoid of insults.

The Commissioning of Warri Refinery in 1978 happened when Buhari was the Federal Commissioner (position now called Minister) for Petroleum and Natural Resources under General Olusegun Obasanjo.
The de- bottlenecking of both the Warri and Kaduna refineries were completed in 1985 when Buhari was the head of state of Nigeria.

Is it not funny that with all the billions of naira allocated to the oil producing states, none of their billionaires thought of doing what a northerner Alhaji Aliko Dangote is doing, but instead have been engaged in illegal exports of stolen crude from the Niger Delta.

empire building

it is funny that what you are doing is not solving the problem of how as a nation should go about its oil and gas problems.
but distorting facts with aim of white polishing a section of the oil and gas problems.
1965 1st refinery built by shell phc
1978 warri refinery obj
1980 2nd phc refinery
1983 kad refinery ibb
the issue of the refinery has never been a one man affair
after years TAM and neglect due to importation the obj team decided that deregulation of the sector is best for the industry and under the Gej administration three licenses to build refineries where given out of which ALIKO DANGOTE IS A BENEFICIARY.
the path for the sustainance of successes achieved is there for all to see but it is not yet Uhuru!
we should first appreciate the efforts of others then move on to finally achieving the ultimate goal of greatness.
but bootylicking egos has never solved problems lai!

Op I prophesy, pple will insult you in this post
