Dangote Partners Honeywell International on Major Refinery Expansion to 1.4 Million Barrels per Day

Dangote Group is delighted to announce a strategic partnership with Honeywell International Inc. to drive the next phase of the Dangote Petroleum Refinery’s expansion. This collaboration will deliver cutting-edge technologies and services to support the refinery’s planned capacity increase to 1.4 million barrels per day by 2028—an important step toward realizing our vision of building the world’s largest integrated refining complex.

Under the new agreement, Honeywell will provide advanced catalysts, specialised equipment, and innovative process technologies that will enable the refinery to handle a wider range of crude grades while improving product quality, energy efficiency, and overall operational performance.

Honeywell, a Fortune 100 global leader in industrial and technological solutions spanning aviation, automotive, industrial automation, and advanced materials, has been a trusted technology partner to Dangote since 2017. Through its UOP division, the company has supplied proprietary refining systems, catalyst regeneration units, high-efficiency column trays, and advanced heat-exchange technologies that underpin our world-class operations.

As part of our broader petrochemicals expansion, Dangote Group is also scaling up polypropylene production to 2.4 million metric tons annually, leveraging Honeywell’s Oleflex technology. Polypropylene remains a critical material for applications ranging from packaging to manufacturing and automotive components.

In addition to refinery and petrochemical growth, Dangote Group is advancing the next phase of its fertiliser expansion in Nigeria. We are increasing urea production capacity from 3 million to 9 million metric tons per year. The current facility comprises two trains of 1.5 million metric tons each, and the expansion will deliver four additional trains to support rising fertiliser demand across Africa and global markets.

Dangote Group remains unwavering in its commitment to building world-class industrial capacity, bolstering Nigeria’s energy security, and fostering sustainable economic development through long-term investment, innovation, and strategic international partnerships.
